Time Machine is the fifth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on October 26, 1993 through Relativity Records and reissued in 1998 through Epic Records.

The album reached No. 95 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and remained on that chart for eight weeks, as well as reaching No. 72 in the Netherlands and No. 87 in Germany. "All Alone" was released as a single, reaching No. 21 on Billboard'''s Mainstream Rock chart and receiving a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1995 Grammy Awards, along with "Speed of Light" at the 1994 Grammys, Satriani's fifth and sixth such nominations. Time Machine was certified Gold on October 27, 1994. Overview The album's 1998 reissue contains detailed liner notes explaining the story behind the content of both discs. Five tracks were originally recorded during the sessions for The Extremist (1992): "Crazy", "Banana Mango II", "Thinking of You", "Speed of Light" (featured on the soundtrack to the 1993 film Super Mario Bros.) and "Baroque". Four other tracks were previously released on Satriani's 1984 self-titled EP: "Banana Mango", "Dreaming #11", "I Am Become Death" and "Saying Goodbye".
