June 6th, 2007 Outside video on YouTube
We've added (yet another) video to YouTube. This time it's our own Anime Music Video for "Outside," from our 2002 CD Asphodel. Like "Control," this video was created in 2001 as backing video for a live show. The source footage is the anime Boogie Pop Phantom. Enjoy!

May 21st, 2007 Control video on YouTube
We've added (another) "Control" video to YouTube. This time the video is set against Fritz Lang's classic film Metropolis. We originally created this video in 2001 as part of our backing videos for our show at Downtime in New York.

December 31st, 2005 Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from the Machine in the Garden! 2005 was a fabulous year for us. We started the year by finishing our sixth album, Shadow Puppets, which was released in April with great critical success.

What's in store for 2006? While the Machine in the Garden takes a break, Summer has been busy in the studio. For her debut in electronica music, Summer performs guest vocals for a track on the new The Synthetic Dream Foundation album, Tendrils of Pretty. You can listen to a clip of the song entitled "Auf dem See" at the Mythical Records website. Summer is also working with Dru Allen on the next Mirabilis release. Dru and Summer have completed several songs and are very exciting about the direction of their next work.

As a special gift to ring in 2006, we are offering $3 off when you order 2 or more items from the merchandise store at tmitg.com. We have the entire the Machine in the Garden catalog available, plus t-shirts and the Mirabilis full-length album.
