You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Elegant Machinery''' is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[synthpop]] band. Borrowing heavily from [[Depeche Mode]], they are one of few recent bands dedicated to making traditional synthpop music. Along with such bands as [[Page (band)|Page]], [[S.P.O.C.K]], [[Sista Mannen På Jorden]] and [[Kiethevez]] they define the sound of the Swedish synthpop movement.

Heavily influenced by acts like [[Yazoo (band)|Yazoo]], [[The Human League]], [[Depeche Mode]], [[Rational Youth]]. Robert Enforsen, [[Richard Jomshof]] and [[Leslie Bayne]] started the band in 1988 under the name Pole Position.

[[Robert Enforsen]] joined the band as lead vocalist in 1989, and the band released their first demo, at which point they changed their name to Elegant Machinery, a name derived from the album by [[DATA (band)|DATA]], a British [[synthpop]] group of the 1980s led by Norwegian [[Georg Kajanus]].

Due to Leslie Bayne's stagefright, [[Johan Malmgren]] joined the band as a tour musician in 1992. He later became a permanent member.

The band was very successful in Sweden, with a number of successful singles and various awards. In the rest of Europe, their biggest break into the mainstream was with the single ''Process'', which reached number 5 in the Spanish charts.

== Breakup, reunion, breakup and reunion ==
Elegant Machinery disbanded in 1999.

In 2001, the band temporarily reunited (with Johan temporarily replaced by [[Jarmo Ollila]] of Daily Planet) for their first-ever American appearance, followed by a performance in Mexico. Over the next few years, the band performed a number of times in Europe.

In October 2004, after a successful gig at Romo Night in [[Gothenburg]], the band decided to work on new music. Johan, Richard, and Robert have been joined by original member [[Leslie Bayne]].

In November 2007, it was announced<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=27095_0_2_0_C|title=New Elegant Machinery single in January 2008|website=Side-line.com|accessdate=4 October 2020))</ref> that the band had signed with German label Out of Line. A new single "Feel the Silence" was released in January. The current line-up consists of Robert Enforsen, Richard Jomshof and Leslie Bayne.

In early April 2011, there were rumours that the band had split once again. This was later confirmed by the group's management. Jomshof denied the rumours that the split had anything to do with his political career with the [[Sweden Democrats]] and cited other personal differences as reasons for the breakup.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=46055_0_2_0_C|title=Did Elegant Machinery split up due to political reasons?|website=Side-line.com|accessdate=4 October 2020))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=46056_0_2_0_C|title=Elegant Machinery split not politically inspired at all says Richard Jomshof|website=Side-line.com|accessdate=4 October 2020))</ref>

In 2016, Robert Enforsen and Leslie Bayne reformed Elegant Machinery with new part-time member Jonas Kröjtz. They released a new EP on October 14, 2016, entitled, "I"

Since 2019 Elegant Machinery has consisted of Robert Enforsen and Johan Malmgren. Leslie Bayne left the band in March 2023. A new album is currently taking shape.

== Side projects ==
During the band's hiatus, [[Robert Enforsen]] worked on a number of side projects, including Enforce, Hype, Gobble & Gag, and Red Light District. Meanwhile, [[Johan Malmgren]] joined the Swedish band [[S.P.O.C.K]] as a keyboardist, programmer and composer. Johan and Robert also produced the debut album "''Lost in a Maze''" of the Swedish-[[United Kingdom|British]] band [[Univaque]] in 2004.
