Man Made Machine - High-Quality Handcrafted Mechanical Gadgets for DIY Enthusiasts | Perfect for Home Workshops, STEM Projects & Unique Gifts

I first heard Carptree in 2003. Their brilliant second album entitled Superhero from that year was my album of the year back then, and for good reason.Man Made Machine is a strong forward leap from Superhero opening up new ground while retaining the catchy, quirkiness and brilliant melodious flavor of SH. The writing is sublime and the playing is extaordinary. And what do you know, the 'No Future Orchestra' from SH had a future afterall, giving solid foundations to the wonderful writing and playing of Carl Westholm and exquisit vocals of Niclas Flink.The catchy hooks and quirky phrases combined with the Gabrielesque vocals of Niclas Flink remind me of another outstanding 'left of centre' album from 1975. Split Enz: Mental Notes.All in all, Man Made Machine is brilliant, not instantly accessible but those who persevere will be highly rewarded.
