	Sean Bonniwell - Slider (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sean Bonniwell (born August 16 1940, San Jose, CA), guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, is most famous as the main creative force behind the late-1960s garage rock band, The Music Machine.
		During his teens, Bonniwell was inspired to form a high school vocal group after hearing the song "Only You" by The Platters.
		This recording marked a change in identity for Bonniwell, who not only chose to make gentle, sensitive music (contrasting that for which he was known), but also chose to record under the name of T.S. Bonniwell.

		In brief, though, it can be noted that Bonniwell was by far the most important member of that group, penning their torturous but catchy riff-driven songs of psychological ecstasy and confusion, even if just one of them ("Talk Talk") became a hit.
		Bonniwell was also their lead singer, usually using a gripping, throaty tone that could reach hair-raising intensity, though occasionally he could switch into a surprisingly smooth if moody croon.
		Bonniwell forsook his raunchy vocal persona almost totally in favor of his sensitive, clear croon, perhaps in a partial retreat to his pre-Music Machine folkie days, when he'd been in the Wayfarers.

	SEAN BONNIWELL MUSIC MACHINE HOME PAGE: BOTTOM OF THE SOUL
		Sean Bonniwell, a former member of RCA folk group The Wayfarers, formed The Ragamuffins in 1965 with fellow disillusioned folkies Keith Olsen and Ron Edgar.
		Bonniwell claims to have written "Double Yellow Line's" cautionary lyrics while driving to the session with one hand on the wheel.
		Bonniwell is now a born-again Christian who is trying to deal with his anger over his perceived mistreatment by his label.

	The Music Machine's Doug Rhodes Talk Talks To Sean Law
		Bonniwell was peripherally connected to the band, I think he met them in New York and had a thing going with the other girl in the group, the sister, Dottie Holmberg.
		Even Bonniwell couldn't deny that there was something special going on there - and Bonniwell was remarkably aloof from the rock'n'roll scene in general, other than to figure out what was 'happening' and how he could make use of it for his own purposes.
		Sean had the idea that since it was 'The Music Machine' that we would do a whole set that was non-stop, it would have no breaks whatsoever.

		While you couldn't blame Bonniwell for wanting to try something else and had to admire his willingness to take a creative risk, the overall results were disappointing.
		A commercial disappointment, the LP failed to chart; Bonniwell disappearing from the music scene for the next decade.
		Having undergone a spiritual reawakening, in the early-'80s Bonniwell briefly reappeared as a member of the Christian band Heaven Sent.

		Also known as Bonniwell Music Machine, as in leader Sean Bonniwell, whose moody, growling baritone dominates this jittery, organ-driven garage rock.
		The covers their label forced them to perform are awful enough, but when you consider how strong a songwriter Bonniwell was, they become criminal.
		Any compilation of Bonniwell's music is worth your attention, but look for one that includes "Dark White", a majestic, slow-building epic about defiled innocence.

		Foremost among them is the explosive (and quite innovative for its time) 1966 number "Point of No Return" with its unusual mixture of folk-rock and pre-acid guitar work, as well as a magnificent anguished, subtly anti-war vocal by singer and songwriter Sean Bonniwell.
		It's also one of Bonniwell's better creations, as well as one of the best lyrical meditations upon the ambiguous tension of sexual desire that you're likely to hear.
		As for the previously unveiled outings, the 1965 demos by the Ragamuffins (the trio of future Music Machine members Bonniwell, drummer Ron Edgar, and bassist Keith Olsen) are especially interesting, catching them in their tentative transition from folk-pop to garage psychedelia.

		In the 80's, Sundazed put out "Beyond the Garage" recorded by the Bonniwell Music Machine (important to note because this was a whole new backing band and a much better band) and it was enough to put the rumor of a one-hit wonder band to rest.
		This CD of wonderful Sean Bonniwell (not Bonniewell, Amazon) compositions once again showcases a sloppy remastering effort by the Sundazed label.
		Bonniwell and the MUSIC MACHINE were rocknroll genius at work.

		Bonniwell was an actual SONGWRITER, not just a pothead out there playing 50 different variations on "Pushin' Too Hard" like SOME bands called The Seeds I might mention.
		Plus, Sean's liner notes in the reissue CD booklets are hilariously self-deprecating, which I can identify with because I'm constantly self-defecating.
		Bonniwell's songwriting acumen, most notably in the melodic, poppy and even HAPPY sense of the term (for the most part, I mean -- there are still a few pre-metal torture-tones like "Advise and Consent," "Two Much" and "Point Of No Return" floating around on the lilypads).

		Bonniwell took out his fetish silver marker, as an old seasoned autograph signer does, and we were, both my brother and I, in rock-n-roll heaven!
		And then, came the encore: it took Sean Bonniwell himself to come out and exhort the crowd to cheer and holler a bit louder if they wanted more from the band.
		It's true that Sean, too self-conscious as he was, might just have thought he was a bit too old for the game and acted like he was an outsider emceeing and conducting the show, came running back for the bonus.

		Against a succession of grinding two-note fuzz riffs and key changes that rose and rose until they hit the ceiling, Bonniwell spewed and growled a rally cry to social alienation with a mixture of sarcasm, rebellion, self-pity, and paranoia.
		Bonniwell wrote a bunch of other great songs for the Music Machine, but most of the world would never get to hear them.
		Their relentless invention in the studio was matched only by the restless metaphysical probing of Bonniwell's compositions.

	The Music Machine : Bonniwell's Music Machine - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The Music Machine were renamed the Bonniwell Music Machine when they went to Warner Bros., as the original lineup disbanded at some point, leaving only chief singer and songwriter Sean Bonniwell.
		Much of the material on Warner, however, was recorded by the original group, and this album was pasted together from some singles (some of which had appeared on Original Sound in 1967) and other tracks, both by the original incarnation and a second outfit that was pretty much a Sean Bonniwell solo vehicle.
		In fact, some of the songs rate among their best; a few are also found on the Rhino anthology, but other first-rate tunes ("Bottom of the Soul," "Talk Me Down," "The Trap") are not.

	Roger's Rhetoric
		The Ragamuffins songs are great as they represent the beginnings of the expertly-crafted songwriting put forth by Sean Bonniwell.
		The ultra groover "Worry" is worth investigation as there is an instrumental and vocal version of the track, that give flair to their sound as Doug Rhodes trades in the Farfisa for a Hammond and drummer Ron Edgar takes over the lead vocal slot.
		The added fun has got to be "This Should Make You Happy", Sean's dig at the producer for closing his mind to creative talent so he could take home the bread (hysterical!).

		I Music Machine di Sean Bonniwell furono forse i piu` aggressivi e sfrontati dei garage-rockers californiani, ma la loro gloria duro` praticamente soltanto gli 1'56" di Talk Talk (1967), un concentrato di riff martellanti, con un selvaggio break chitarristico alla Yardbirds; l'essenza dell'angoscia e dell'oltraggio, nonostante almeno Point of No Return (1966) meriti altrettanto.
		The Bonniwell Music Machine (Warner, 1968) e` un disco piu` curato (fiati, archi, ritmi bislacchi) e non ha nulla dell'impatto del primo, ma contiene canzoni intriganti come Eagle Never Hunts The Fly e Double Yellow Line.

		Were you surprised when you and the Music Machine were rediscovered by so many listeners in the 1980s and 1990s?
		If you talk to Mike Stax, when he came to interview me in Los Angeles [in the early 1980s], I'm sure he'll tell you that I was astounded that anybody had even remembered me, that there was any interest in all in the Music Machine, or in Bonniwell as a writer of songs.
		I have the four original songs--actually, five if you count "Point of No Return"--from the Original Sound Paul Buff four-track recording of the four demo songs the Ragamuffins did at Original Sound, before we were signed, before we met Art LaBoe or anything.

		For those who don’t know their story, The Music Machine was an US band headed by singer-songwriter Sean Bonniwell and based in Los Angeles.
		In 1967, Music Machine (essentially only Bonniwell at this point) were signed to Warner Bros. and re-named Bonniwell's Music Machine.
		Anyway, everyone agrees to say that The Music Machine's debut would have been a lot better if they'd let Sean Bonniwell write all of the songs !
