Editorial Reviews:

Album Description
Since 1973, the year when Glenn Hughes was enlisted by Deep Purple as their new bassist and vocalist, he has brought out numerous solo albums, stylistically at the interface of rock, metal, funk, and soul. Fans and media have given British-born Hughes the nickname `The Voice of Rock', a moniker that once again proves to be well deserved on Building the Machine, which includes a new version of the Deep Purple classic `High Ball Shooter' (from his masterpiece Stormbringer).

Album Description
2001 album for the ex-Deep Purple bassist. Featuring a more melodic feel, including two acoustic tracks & a cover of 'Highball Shooter'. 2001.

5 out of 5 stars Glenn Hughes is a very underated master of rock / funk / soul   October 13, 2007
Paul Mattielli (Australia)
Both the content & recording quality of this CD is exceptional. Song tracks are brilliant, and can be played over and over, there's not a bad song on the entire CD. For its time, the sound quality is much better than many recordings of today's standards. I was so impressed that since then I have purchased some of his earlier releases such as "Feel" another great album & "Return of Crystal Karma" + "This Time Around Anthology" all in one purchase. I also have some of his later collections such as "Soul Mover" + Music for the Devine" which is also brilliant. But the proof of how good he stilI is was when I saw Glenn live in Melbourne Australia in 2006 and can't wait for the live DVD & CD, the later which has just been released. What a show! Keep rockin Glenn, the music lives in your blood & soul. Can't wait for Glenn's latest studio release.

All in all, this a good listen. It starts out heavy, like Deep Purple for kids weaned on grunge. A tad too much for some of us glam fans, but nonetheless, it's a fine way to kick things off. Then, you feel some funk creeping up. Organs come in around the middle of the album, and it creates a great vibe that you couldn't have expected earlier on. Then the album winds down and the guitars start getting less heavy and more acoustic. By the time it ends, the album seems to have undergone a softening of sorts. And yet, it feels perfectly natural. There no real clunkers on this thing, and some tracks' enjoyable factor may outlast their playing time. Overall, a commendable effort that stands up better than you might expect.

My musical taste has always revolved around the Deep Purple, White Snake, UFO, Sabbath, Dio, Tommy Bolin, circle, but one name clearly stands out from the rest and that is GLENN HUGHES. I keep buying back catalog stuff and continue to be blown away! This guy rocks and sings with a feeling that grabs you inside. This disc rocks from beginning to end. Make sure to check out his new stuff with Dave Navrro and Chad Smith, Soul Mover. I saw a promo video and heard the tune at the NAMM show in january in LA and I was blown away by it!!!



4 out of 5 stars Glenn Hughes builds the machine quite well!!!   May 5, 2004

Ok, let me start saying this: It`s been a long time since I first heard this album but it stands as one of my favourite Hughes albums. I bought this album right after it came out here in Norway. I was very into Glenn Hughes and his voice from albums such as Deep Purple-Burn and Stormbringer, and Since that I have always been a hugh fan of his. Ok, I bought this album in exitement of hearing his voice in the age of 50 i suppose and was trilled about how good it was!!!! I couldn`t believe what I was hearing!!!! That voice is amazing and now i can understand that people call him: The Voice Of Rock. The music is also very good. It Rocks big time. This was a very big surprise for me, because I had never heard anything from him since his Deep Purple days. This is a must for all Glenn Hughes fans


4 out of 5 stars HYPER- SOLID STUFF!!!   February 3, 2003

Building The Machine is a solid set of Hard Rock songs with a very healthy dose of funk, a Hughes' trademark. What impresses me the most is Glenn's voice still in wonderful shape as well as the great musical craft and poise of his bass playing; supported professionally by J.J. Marsh (guitar) and Gary Ferguson (drums)a pair of more than average musicians.
In a time of hyper complex guitar solos, odd atmospheres and twisted lyrical themes in Metal (which I love), Building the Machine is a very refreshing injection of joy and good vibe, recalling a clearer and simplest time.
Highlights: "Out on Me", "Don't Let It Slip Away", the fabolous Purple's revamp of "Highball Shooter" as well as Rare Earth's "I Just Want To Celebrate" featuring canadian great Pat Travers as guest axeman.
Despite certain inconstancies, specifically on the four ballads which sound somewhat generic; this CD has been spinning in my player for months non-stop. Maybe this is not a masterpiece,but is a very enjoyable and memorable musical experience.
