'''Recording process'''
The song was played live regularly from 1993-5, and fans became familiar with the stripped-down live version (based on the unreleased original version). In 1993, the original studio version of '''Endorphinmachine''' (as '''Endorphinemachine''') was included in the [[Project: Glam Slam Ulysses|Glam Slam Ulysses]] stage-show, during the segment titled “Calypso”.
