The Sun Machine is a 1990 song by E-Zee Possee. It samples David Bowie's 1969 song, "Memory of a Free Festival" from his album, Space Oddity. The single peaked on number 62 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]

Critical reception

David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Variations on an obscure David Bowie track, plus the usual bluesy female vocals, house piano and thumping beat — a formula whose time is gradually running out."[4]
