Simple Machines 7"s 1990-1993 also known as The Machines is a compilation album created by Simple Machines records. The compilation consisted of six of the earliest EP's; Wedge(SMR 01; 1990), Wheel(SMR 02; 1990), Pulley(SMR 03; 1991), Screw(SMR 04; 1991), Lever(SMR 05; 1992), and Inclined Plane(SMR 06; 1993). None of the songs are necessarily listed in the same orders as they are on their respected EP's.

The album contains The Hated's cover of the Simon and Garfunkel hit I Am a Rock, rare songs by Velocity Girl and Superchunk, as well as two rants by Juliana Luecking, one of which is spoken in a fake Baltimore accent. It also contains two songs by Geek called "Herasure" and "Hemingway Shotgun", the latter of which the All-Music Guide has mistakenly referred to as "Hemingway Station".
