Kraftwerk - The Man Machine

"The Man Machine is closer to the sound and style that would define early new wave electro-pop - less minimalistic in its arrangements and more complex and danceable in its underlying rhythms. Like its predecessor, Trans-Europe Express, there is the feel of a divided concept album, with some songs devoted to science fiction-esque links between humans and technology, often with electronically processed vocals ('The Robots,' 'Spacelab,' and the title track); others take the glamour of urbanization as their subject ('Neon Lights' and 'Metropolis'). Plus, there's 'The Model,' a character sketch that falls under the latter category but takes a more cynical view of the title character's glamorous lifestlye." - All Music Guide
