Synopsis
The 12 Commandments of music business brought together in one film. The secret of success, the purpose of music awards, the whole truth about recording contracts and nine other monstrosities. “Welcome to the Machine” is not just a rockumentary, but also uncovers the whole truth! Not always dead serious, but most definitely pitiless – after all it’s just about this one big question: Is there one right way to Fame?
