|introduction              = '''Sex Machine''', a cover version of the track by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_and_the_Family_Stone Sly and the Family Stone], was streamed as an instrumental rehearsal during [[3rdEye TV|3rdEye TV Show # 9]] in 2013. The track first appeared on their 1969 album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand! Stand!], and was written by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_Stone Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart].

The version streamed was a rehearsal recorded in early July 2013, at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. No studio version is believed to exist.
