The Machine Stops is a concept album by space rock band Hawkwind, released on 15 April 2016. It is inspired by the E.M. Forster short story of the same name. It is Hawkwind's twenty-ninth studio album, Hawkwind's first album recorded without the involvement of Tim Blake since 2010's Blood of the Earth and the first to feature bassist Haz Wheaton.
Following Spacehawks, which was a compilation album largely consisting of re-recorded songs, and Stellar Variations which had been released under the Hawkwind Light Orchestra moniker, The Machine Stops is Hawkwind's first studio album composed entirely of new material released under the Cherry Red label.
