Kraftwerk The ManMachine (CD)

A bold new look, sound and concept forKraftwerk. Over supple processed rhythms which predate the rise of European techno and trance, they address automation and alienation, space travel and engineering, The seductive allure of urban landscapes and the vacant glamour of celebrity. Clipped and funky,The Robotsadds another dimension toKraftwerk’sultra-dry sense of humour. Behind its intoxicating melodic pulse,The Modelis a highly prophetic satire on the beauty industry, so ahead of its time that it only becomes a UK chart-topper by accident three years later. AndNeon LightsisKraftwerk’smost achingly romantic song to date, a sci-fi lullaby for cities at twilight. Pure magic.

Remastered edition available on red or black vinyl with colour booklet.
