Can

1-11-10 Can

For me, Can is a 70’s band. I like some of their 80’s releases (such as the “Rite Time” CD), but we really must look at their initial late 60’s (and 70’s) works. I recommend finding either original German LP’s, Spoon re-issue LP’s or Spoon re-mastered CD’s.

“Landed” is the most fun of these albums. I also heartily recommend “Soon Over Babaluma”. Which Can album do you like best? I am also fond of the early Holger Czukay solo albums, notably “Movies” and “On The Way To The Peak Of Normal”. And I dearly love Irmin Schmidt’s “Soundtracks” 3CD boxed set. R.I.P., Michael Karoli.
