What if the Beatles and the Beach Boys found themselves in a studio together? A "Revolver" meets "Pet Sounds" experience.
Editorial review
Unlike many similar bands, the Vinyl Kings are at least upfront about what they're trying to accomplish. This seven-piece band is unapologetically obsessed with the pop music of the era roughly between 1963 and 1971, and their second album is a hodgepodge of lifts from the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and all the rest. (There's also a strong resemblance to classic-era Electric Light Orchestra in spots, mostly because Jeff Lynne himself was so enamored of the same pop music era.) Thing is, because the Vinyl Kings don't pretend to be anything other than a bunch of middle-aged Beatles fans who don't care about any music released after 1981 -- the lyrics of several songs, most notably "'67 (Home)" and the title track, are about this very obsession -- then it's possible to enjoy Time Machine for what it is: catchy, tuneful pop music of very little substance. It's only when contemporary bands try to "update" or "re-imagine" this brand of '60s pop that the results get truly tiresome; Time Machine is so unashamed of its tribute-band intentions that the unpretentious charms of the songs come through more strongly. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Editorial Reviews of "TIME MACHINE"
Beatles Unlimited Magazine
"Clearly, they're the keepers of the flame and not just Beatles-influenced: the Vinyl Kings are the only Beatles-phoenix arisen from its ashes." (Tom Weel)
Imagine this if you will. You're offered the use of a time machine which not only can take you back in time, but also allows you to be invisible. Next, imagine you select a year in the 1960's and the place you chose to return to, a recording complex where in Studio One there's the Beatles, while at the same time down the hall in Studio Two Brian Wilson is putting the Beach Boys to work on his next creation. Then what if you were able to magically dissolve the wall that separated the two of them.
