Time Machines is a 1998 album by Coil released under the alias Time Machines. It consists of four tracks which are composed of drones and named after hallucinogenic chemicals. Each tone was tested and retested in the studio for maximum narcotic potency. John Balance described the album as an attempt to create "temporal slips"
When Time Machines was first released, the band was very conscious that it not be labeled as a Coil album, due to how abstract and different it is compared to previous Coil albums. This pressure has lessened in recent years as the band feels that people no longer expect a specific sound from the band. This has led to the 2000 follow-up album Coil Presents Time Machines to bear the Coil name on it.
A five-disc Time Machines box set was announced in 1998, but never developed. A two-disc version was announced in January 2006 as a future release, but there has been no further evidence on this being released either.
Sean Cooper of Allmusic gave the album four out of five stars and described it as "[e]njoyable, if a mite limited in scope."
