Scenes from the Second Storey is the debut album by American rock band the God Machine, released in 1993 by Fiction Records and Polydor.

[1] The album opens with a sample from the film adaptation of The Sheltering Sky (the same sample also opens Neurosis' Enemy of the Sun, an album released in the same year as Scenes from the Second Storey), while the single "Home" contains an intro consisting of the beginning of the track "Pilentze Pee" by the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir from the album Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares.

"Home" peaked at number 65 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1993.

[9] In 2010, as a homage to Scenes from the Second Storey, Morrigan Books published an anthology of horror short stories by Australian authors, written and titled in the same order as the album's track listing.

[10] The authors included David Conyers, Stephen Dedman, Paul Haines, Robert Hood, Cat Sparks, Andrew J McKiernan and Kaaron Warren.
