Almost Human is the second studio album by Cuban American dark cabaret singer Voltaire, released on August 1, 2000, through Projekt Records.
Also present in the album are covers of the traditional songs "El Barquito de Nuez" and "Ringo no Uta" – the first one was composed by famous Mexican songwriter Francisco Gabilondo Soler, while the second one was composed by Hachiro Sato and Manjome Tadashi for the 1945 film Soyokaze.
Voltaire originally wrote the track "The Night" in 1988; a more deathrock-inflected version of it would appear on his 2014 album Raised by Bats.
The track "Alchemy Mondays" is a tribute to the eponymous goth event which used to take place at the famous, now-defunct music club CBGB, in Manhattan.
All tracks are written by Voltaire, Gregor Kitzis, Matthew Goeke and George Grant, except for "Ringo no Uta" by Hachiro Sato and Manjome Tadashi and "El Barquito de Nuez" by Francisco Gabilondo SolerThe song "The Night" from the album is prominently featured in the 2016 self-titled first episode of the animated web series The Vampair by Daria Cohen, in which it is presented as being sung by the vampire Duke to the then-human Melissa "Missi" Dumarias on her entry to his castle, which she proceeds to wrest from his control, becoming a vampire herself on taking Duke's sceptre.
