Perfect Machine is Herbie Hancock's twenty-fifth studio album, released in 1987. The album was produced by Hancock and Bill Laswell, and continues Hancock's exploration of funk and electronic pop, with influences from hip hop and dance music.
The album includes collaborations with musicians such as guitarist Nicky Skopelitis and drummer Sly Dunbar. The song "Vibe Alive" was a single that received some rotation on the R&B charts.
Perfect Machine received generally positive reviews, although some critics considered it less innovative than Hancock's earlier works. The album represents the end of Hancock's tenure at Columbia Records before his move to other labels.
