>>> FIX THE MACHINE EP - Supporting Paul Riekert (Battery 9)
Our friend and SA alt music legend Paul Riekert (Battery 9) recently had a brush with death after a serious medical crisis.
To help assist with the exorbitant medical cost, we compiled this 3-track FIX THE MACHINE EP consisting of the Afrikaans Terminatryx songs Paul remixed / collabbed on across the years.
All proceeds from this $9 EP will go towards Paul's medical fund and if you're able to contribute more, it will be greatly appreciated.

About the "Masjien-Machine" remix:

Sonja Ruppersberg (Terminatryx): We were so excited to have Industrial legend Paul Riekert of Battery 9 remix our first Afrikaans song "Siek+Sat" (Sick+Tired) on the "Remyx v1.0" album, and simply had to have him back.
So, our second Afrikaans song "Masjien" (Machine) was the obvious choice, but a random brain-flash had us ask Paul if he'd be keen to do a semi-mash-up of this track and his Battery 9 hit from the late-'90s "Kiss The Machine"... and he agreed!

lyrics

MASJIEN

(Chorus)
Die Masjien marsjeer
Deur die land
Veslind, verskeur
Verwoes, verbrand

Gebore uit gemak
Gemaak om ons te dien
Die mensdom het verswak
Opstand van Masjien!

Meganiese revolusie
Metaal verwoes die vlees
Jou drome net illusie
Jou wêreld nou net vrees

(Chorus)
Die ratte draai nou sonder end
Te laat om dit te keer
Die aarde permanent geskend
Masjien nou in beheer

Die slaaf is nou die meester
Die skepper ‘n dienaar
Die sonlig word nou duister
Devolusie openbaar

(Chorus)

Die Masjien marsjeer…
