Released in 1978, \u003cem\u003eMan-Machine\u003c\/em\u003e remains Kraftwerk's most accessible album, catching the group at its finest: the drum machine, the hypnotic melodies, the tranced out feeling the listener gets- this is the blueprint for much of modern music. \"The Robots\" was my first exposure to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=kraftwerk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKraftwerk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and I was thinking are these guys serious or are they joking? The answer is, they're being very serious about joking. I still can't take \"The Model\" 100% seriously, but drop it at the right moment and the dance floor gets all look at us, we're models. Listening to tracks like \"Neon Lights\" or \"Spacelab\", you might not be impressed, but it's the simplicity, the build-up, and the very fact that music did not sound like this before. Buy this album and have crackers for lunch tomorrow, it's worth it. Also includes \"Metropolis\" and \"Man-Machine.\" Deluxe 180 gram 2009 import pressing with printed inner sleeve featuring the original cover and full color booklet featuring awesome photos of Kraftwerk from this album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180 gram import reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeve features original album art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efull color photo booklet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Kling Klang 1978 \/ 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by the mgmnt 11\/2005\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Kraftwerk","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":1124267340,"sku":"lp-6487","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/kraftwerk-manmachine.jpg?v=1762269461","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/kraftwerk-the-man-machine-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
