***Man Made Object*** is the third album by jazz piano trio [GoGo Penguin](/source/GoGo_Penguin). It is their first of a three-album deal with the jazz label [Blue Note](/source/Blue_Note_Records).[3][4] Chris Illingworth, the band's pianist, has explained that the title of the album is partly inspired by his fascination with ideas of robotics, transhumanism and human augmentation.[3]

## Critical reception

In his review, John Fordham said in [The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian) that "It still feels like clubbing music, but plenty of house and techno fans might be surprised by how good at partying three closet-jazzers can be."[5] Marcus J. Moore said in [Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_Media) that "*Man Made Object* is tailor-made for laid-back enjoyment, to be consumed at a moderate volume without much fuss."[6]

The album charted at number 72 on the [UK Albums Chart](/source/UK_Albums_Chart) in February 2016.[7]
