From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A New Machine", parts 1 and 2 are songs from Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. They serve as bookends to the instrumental track Terminal Frost, and feature David Gilmour's voice, electrically distorted, and a rising synth note. The lyrics seem to be a brief one-sided debate on mortality addressed to the listener from the point of view of a machine or perhaps a human brain in cryogenic suspension.[citation needed] These three tracks were the only ones from the album that were never officially released live.
The two songs were the first Pink Floyd songs to be credited solely to David Gilmour since "Childhood's End", from their 1972 album Obscured by Clouds.
