Elegant Machinery is a Swedish synthpop band. Borrowing heavily from the likes of Depeche Mode, they are one of few recent bands dedicated to making traditional synthpop music. Along with such bands as 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, The Human League, Depeche Mode, Rational Youth and Robert Marlow, 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, 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.
