	Actors - Tin Machine

Tin Machine is an album by Tin Machine originally released by EMI in 1989. The group were the latest venture of David Bowie, inspired by sessions with guitarist Reeves Gabrels. Hunt Sales (drums) and Tony Sales (bass) formed the rest of the band, with "fifth member" Kevin Armstrong providing rhythm guitar.

The project was intended as a back-to-basics album by Bowie, with a hard rock sound and simple production, as opposed to his past two, somewhat overblown, solo albums. Unlike previous Bowie bands (such as The Spiders from Mars), Tin Machine acted as a fully democratic unit.

At the time of release Tin Machine met with no little success, winning generally positive reviews and reaching #3 in the UK album charts. However, long-term sales weren't as good, and since then the album has been regularly ridiculed as a low point of Bowie's career, often by people who haven't heard it.

Later reissues have been in line with the rest of Bowie's back catalogue, and the spine and disc of the 1999 reissue gives the artist as David Bowie, with Tin Machine as the album name.
