Description
2020 reissue, 2×12″ LP, Kling Klang/Parlophone. Red vinyl edition.
There isn’t a more hit-packed Kraftwerk album than The Man Machine. First released in 1978 and here reissued on red vinyl accompanied by a fresh booklet of vintage images, the album boasts some of the German band’s best loved songs, including ‘The Robots’, cheery sing-along ‘The Model’, the staggeringly good ‘Neon Lights’, and the bubbly title track. It shows how good the album is that such gems as ‘Metropolis’ and the picturesque ‘Spacelab’ – cuts that most other bands would kill to be able to write – tend to be ignored or overlooked. If you love electronic music, you need a copy of The Man Machine in your collection. – Juno
