The Man-Machine<\/strong> (German: Die Mensch-Maschine) is the seventh studio album<\/strong> by German electronic music band Kraftwerk<\/strong>. It was released on 19 May 1978<\/strong> by Kling Klang in Germany and by Capitol Records<\/strong> elsewhere. A further refinement of their mechanical style, the album saw the group incorporate more danceable rhythms. The album has a satirical bent to it. It is thought to address a wide-range of themes from the Cold War, Germany’s fascination with manufacturing, and humankind’s increasingly symbiotic relationship with machines. It includes the singles «The Model» and «The Robots».<\/p>\n

Although the album peaked at 53 initially on the UK Albums Chart, it reached a new peak position of number nine in February 1982, becoming the band’s second highest-peaking album in the United Kingdom after Autobahn (1974).<\/p>\n

Music
\nMatt Mitchell of Paste magazine said that «the album was where Kraftwerk took their mechanical style of old and re-tuned it into a club-worthy aesthetic». The staff of GQ India assessed: «Taking electronic music from the German counterculture \u2013 a still influential moment termed Krautrock by UK audiences \u2013 across the 1970s and early ’80s, [Kraftwerk] sculpted something modernist […] out of the possibilities of synthesiser music.» According to Alex Linhardt of Pitchfork, the band «just sound like robots» on the album. He explained: «While the fast-paced world of Ralf H\u00fctter quotes knows no limits of pretension, this is the only album that conceivably expresses his ideal music: No emotions, no philosophies, no performances, and virtually no humor. It is pure technology: the whistles and surging circuitry of unmanned factories; twinkling hydraulic tubes; flaring odometers and cogs; and pre-Pong claw-claps.» According to Steve Huey of AllMusic, «The Man-Machine is closer to the sound and style that would define early new wave electro-pop \u2013 less minimalistic in its arrangements and more complex and danceable in its underlying rhythms.» He further described the style as «more pop-oriented than any of their previous work»<\/p>\n

Themes explored on the album include science fiction and urbanization.<\/p>\n
