The Man-Machine

Released 1978Electronic
Classic

Pristine, melodic electro-pop of robots and cities, home to 'The Model'. Clean and iconic. A peak of their catalogue. Released in 1978, it's a key entry in Kraftwerk's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
