The 1978 album Die Mensch-Maschine (English: The Man-Machine) is the seventh studio
album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk. It was released one
year after the album that is generally considered their best, but which I
decided not to include in my list although I like it (Trans-Europe
Express). I went for the German version of the 1978 album, which I
slightly prefer over the English one. The theme of the album is future
and urbanization, with the music moving more to dance rhythms. Their
influence on the later synth pop bands of the eighties was tremendous.
Although Die Roboter and Das Modell have rightly become famous in their English versions, my personal pick of the album would be Neonlicht.
