The Man-Machine (German: Die Mensch-Maschine) is the seventh studio album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk. It was released on 19 May 1978 by Kling Klang in Germany and by Capitol Records elsewhere.
Fresh after leaving Kraftwerk in the fall of 1971 for what they perceived to be a lack of vision, guitarist Michael Rother and drummer Klaus Dinger formed their own unit and changed the face of German rock forever

Moving from the submerged sound of their previous album, Heart Under, to something warmer and more immediate. The album is a blend of their signature warped guitars and twisted sound design with a new, brighter, and more danceable energy
Modern rock powerhouse Pop Evil's eighth full-length album, What Remains, is the culmination and story of this bands journey, laid bare like never before.
