Automanikk is an album by the English musician A Guy Called Gerald, released in 1990.[1][2] It was one of a number of albums to come from the Madchester scene of Manchester, England.[3] The album peaked at No. 68 in the Official Albums Chart.[4] A Guy Called Gerald supported it with a North American tour.[5] Automanikk was A Guy Called Gerald's only album for a major label, as subsequent efforts were turned down.[6]
"FX (Mayday Upgrade)", which was remixed by Derrick May and Carl Craig, sampled the American girl group First Choice.[7][8][5] Elsewhere, A Guy Called Gerald made use of samples of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and Snap!'s "The Power".[9]
