Can (funk, house, rock, favorite band, albums)

Yanqui_UXO · 12-13-2005, 05:09 PM

well, as you can tell from my avatar, i dig can.

hard to describe them, they were WAY ahead of their time. i only know 1 album but it would probably be their most famous, and finest, Tago Mago.

those who are into earlier works of pink floyd, the mars volta, experimental wackiness or prog rock in general will love this. Tago Mago is quite amazing for it's time (1971), can't believe people had the creativity like this back then.

check out the songs "Paperhouse" and "Mushroom".

I love Can. Their records are totally uncompromising artistic statements.

Try Monster Movie.

Tried Monster Movie with no luck, Gonna try ege bamyasi. I'm so green should do the trick. What do you make of Fujiya and Miyagi?

I'd go with some of the later stuff like Saw Delight or Flow Motion. I find that stuff less challenging & more funky.

Jaygo3000 · 03-20-2007, 02:35 PM

Flow motion is worth a try haven't heard it for a while. Thanks

Has anybody seen the DVD yet. I rented it off Amazon this week.

Very disappointing for this Can head.

Tago Mago is one hell of an album.

About time someone bumped this...

I've got Tago Mago and it's just fantastic (Halleluwah is porbably one of my favourite ever 'songs'). Any idea where I should go next with them?
