The Time Machine is the third solo album produced and engineered by Alan Parsons following the split of The Alan Parsons Project. (The themes of time, time travel, and memory of the past had been suggested by Parsons as subject matter for the second Alan Parsons Project album, but writing partner Eric Woolfson favored a purely futuristic theme of robotic beings eventually displacing the human race, which eventually resulted in the album I Robot.) Temporalia features a narration by Prof. Frank Close on the idea of the universe itself acting as a sort of time machine, whilst Press Rewind ponders what we might do if we were able to reverse time, and change decisions we have made.

The track The Call Of The Wild is notable for featuring the vocal talent of Máire Brennan from Clannad. The track list here is from the American release; on the Japanese release, the instrumentals here called 'The Time Machine' are named 'H.G. Force' (a reference to H.G. Wells) and a bonus track titled 'Beginnings' is also included.

  1. "The Time Machine (Part 1)" – 4:54
  2. "Temporalia" – 1:00
  3. "Out Of The Blue" – 4:54
  4. "Call Up" – 5:13
  5. "Ignorance Is Bliss" – 6:45
  6. "Rubber Universe" – 3:52
  7. "The Call Of The Wild" – 5:22
  8. "No Future In The Past" – 4:46
  9. "Press Rewind" – 4:20
  10. "The Very Last Time" – 3:42
  11. "Far Ago And Long Away" – 5:51
  12. "The Time Machine (Part 2)" – 2:14

The title track is heavily influenced by the techno style of Robert Miles, indicating a change in style that would be continued in the next album, A Valid Path. There is also a bonus track, the Dr. Evil Edit featuring the voice of Mike Myers from the second Austin Powers movie, The Spy Who Shagged Me, in which The Alan Parsons Project is mentioned.
