Machinations, the Australian synth-pop band, picked "Pressure Sway" as the second single from Esteem, their debut album, and it was the last one the record gave up. It came out in April 1983 and climbed to number 21 on the Kent Music Report, a respectable showing for a sharp, clean slice of new wave. The writing credit is shared four ways, by Tim Doyle, Fred Loneragan, Tony Starr and Nick Swan, and "Jumping the Gap" followed it.
