Day 0396 - The Man-Machine

Kraftwerk "The Man-Machine" (1978)


The Kraftwerk men-bots take their idea of music made by machines a step further, occasionally having robot copies of the band standing in for a song or two during their shows.

This album seems like a continuation and development of the sound of 'Trans-Europe Express' with repetitive minimalist percussion and synth loops with the variety and flavour added by spare lead synth parts and vocals.

Nothing much to say about this that I didn't already say with "Trans-Europe Express" but it was enjoyable.
