Year of release: 1982/2004 (recorded between 1969 and 1972)
Sub-genre: Proto prog, psych, jazz/fusion, blues, soul, pop.
This "album" is a bit of a mess. In 1982, years after the band's breakup, an extremely limited twelve inch EP entitled "Funciona..." saw the light of day. See the first picture above. It consists in two lengthy tracks: "I Can't Quit You Baby" (almost twelve minutes long) on the A side, and "Improvisando Con Genio" (almost fifteen) on the B side. Of course, the original issue of this item goes for ridiculous amounts of money (I remember seeing a copy of it in the Tallers street in Barcelona for a lot of money).
On the other hand, in 2004 the Barcelona based label/shop Wah Wah retrieved, if I'm not wrong, all the recordings by Máquina! (both official and unreleased), and re-released them on vinyl exclusively. The items in question are: a reissue of "Why?" without extras, a reissue of "En Directo" along with the forementioned '82 EP as bonus, and a double compilation of singles, B sides and rarities entitled "...Funciona" (notice the suspension points on the left, instead of the right, unlike the '82 EP... does anybody get what I'm saying?). The reason why Wah Wah decided to confuse everybody using the same title as the old posthumous EP is beyond me, but, in any case, this double compilation is what we're talking about. The track list is as follows:
Side A:
1 - Lands Of Perfection (A side of the eponymous single)
2 - Let's Get Smashed (B side of the "Lands Of Perfection" single)
3 - Earth's Daughter (A side of the eponymous single)
4 - Look Away Our Happiness (B side of the "Earth's Daugther" single - studio version, not the one featured on "En Directo", nor the bonus track from the CD edition of "Why?")
5 - Thank You (B side of the "I Believe" single - that tune was already included in "Why?", so that's why they omitted it)
6 - Fragment Del Primer Temps De La Simfonia Nº1 D'Enric Herrera (unreleased)
Side B:
1 - Chains (unreleased studio version of this track already featured in "En Directo")
2 - Thoughts Of You Pt. 1 (unreleased)
3 - Thoughts Of You Pt. 2 (unreleased)
Side C:
1 - Blues En Fa (unreleased studio version of this track already featured in "En Directo")
2 - Sun Bring The Summer (A side of the eponymous single)
3 - Burning Butts (B side of the "Sun Bring The Summer" single)
Side D:
1 - Take It Easy (A side of the eponymous single)
2 - King Kong Rides Again (B side of the "Take It Easy" single)
3 - I Can Only Fly But Very Well (unreleased studio version of this track already featured in "En Directo")
4 - Peter Roar's Jam Session - Groovin With Soley Soley (bonus track, unreleased)
5 - Peter Roar's Jam Session - Golden Future (bonus track, unreleased)
