Hard to believe this was nearly 30 years ago. Timeless tune…

[Avedis-G]

I wasn’t there for the recording but I did the tour! I was Jonathan Mover’s drumtech. Great memories!

[chrisluckhardt]

Time Machine was the album that concluded that magical first era of Joe’s career. Every release included something new and fresh. It was a thrilling time to be a Satch fan!

[PaulJohnson-vneh]

The echo coming from the drums is spectacular

[josephwirtz]

This is my all time favorite Satriani song AND my all time favorite Satriani lineup!

[MatthiasPowerbomb]

Time Machine is not only my favorite Satch song, it's one of my favorite songs of all time. Satch touched another plane with that song.

This is not a diss to any of Joe's current and former bandmates (I envy a guy who has had the pleasure of playing with so many great musicians), but this lineup with Jonathan Mover and Stu Hamm is my all-time favorite Satriani group!

For me Time Machine dragged me out of a really bad place :( Back in the early 90's my Father had passed and I was a young teenager. I was ALL ALONE in a mix of sorrow and anger (SAYING GOODBYE) and when this was released (growing up hearing Not of this Earth and Surfing with the Alien) of course I purchased this and upon hearing both Discs felt so calmed by his Music it was due to this Joe Satriani YOU SAVED MY LIFE in a way that is very surreal and when I think back upon it it was truly life saving (for me) Thank You Joe Satriani for all your Music and Inspiration I can and still listen often to all of the songs on It until I AM BECOME DEATH I will forever be a Satriani Fan always THINKING OF YOU Joe and what you will play next ALWAYS WITH YOU ALWAYS WITH ME

Waiting for the drummer was woth every single second.. beautiful and legendary master piece

[robby]

I was 15 years old when I bought the "Time Machine" album . What a great album

[mattdag]

Time machine great opener to the album

[EarthAltar]

Seeing Joe tomorrow night for the 31st time.

[Soloist]

That snare is ALWAYS in my head as my favorite, "live" sounding snare, always loved this song!

[ultrainfinitymusic]

Joe’s tone was ABSURDLY GOOD in this period

[TruckingInABlueDream]

The last four tracks on the live album are just incredible. I was 20 years old in 1988, unloading sea urchin boats at Channel Islands Harbor in the middle of the night. One boat was playing this strange, beautiful music. Intrigued, I asked them about. They reached in and tossed me the Surfing cassette tape, said they were tired of it. I wore that bitch out, and I’ve been a Satch fan ever since.

mode that unlocks your mind, frees all doubt, and installs the sense we are not alone! To make music this good your soul has to be tortured, you have to be able to draw every ounce of inspiration from despair and heartbreak. It's very possible Joe is an Empath, a being able to feel the very pain of others but at the same time completely understand what others need to comfort them. When I met him and he signed my guitars I only had to look into his eyes to know he's operating on a completely different level. One of a kind!

I was lucky enough to discover Flying in a Blue Dream, Ah Via Musicom and Passion and Warfare on the same day when I was a kid 😳Time Machine is still one of my favorites, so cool that Joe shared this! 😀😀

[dannyspitzer]

This video takes us back just like a "Time Machine"
That title is even more meaningful now

[satchrules]

Unbelievable. Joe change my life for best . I still get chills all over my body when listening to time machine! No one will ever come close to joes song writing compositions!

[satch]
