Man Made Machine songs From the opening pulse and grind of “Messed Up,” Motor’s continual willing plunge into the precision and rigor of ’80s-derived electronic body music remains central, but the particular heavy-breathing invocations of bodily disruption and sex featured here feel far more 21st century, a leap from the conceptual human/robot fusion era to one where Daft Punk’s exaltations became a sleaze template for people to get wasted to.

The album was conceived during their World tour with Depeche Mode in 2009 when Dave Gahan fell ill and the band found themselves in a hotel in Berlin with time on their hands. It features the vocalists Martin L. Gore (Depeche Mode), Gary Numan, Billie Ray Martin (S’ Express, Electribe 101) and Motown’s rising new star Reni Lane. Just recently, when MOTOR secretly played the first single from the upcoming album (also titled Man Made Machine) on a BBC radio broadcast, it got over 10.000 views within hours of being ripped and broadcasted on youtube.
