Perfect Machine is the thirty-second album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. It was the third and final album in Hancock's series co-produced by Bill Laswell. Guests include bassist Bootsy Collins.
Background
The album was produced with Bill Laswell and performed with Bootsy Collins, Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner of the Ohio Players, and Grand Mixer DXT. It marked the end of his "Rockit" phase in the 1980s. Richard S. Ginnell at AllMusic called the album "mostly thumping, funk-drenched techno-pop".[1]
