Love or Hate?

Title: Future Days
Artiste: Can
Genre: Krautrock/Progressive Rock
Familiarity: Heard one of their albums; think it was ok.
Recommended by: Plainview

Expectations: Not really sure. I like the prog rock tag but I think I remember the other one being quite psychedelic, so could go either way. Only four tracks, which is helpful, even if one is twenty minutes long...

1. Future days: Catchy and quite pleasant, low key with some nice soft guitar and a real samba style on the percussion, vocal is good, very relaxed. Enjoyed that a lot.
2. Spray: This has more the progressive/psychedelic feel to it from the off, nice jam, again very pleasant and not hard to listen to.
3. Moonshake: More uptempo with a sort of feel of Santana about it
4. Bel Air: This is really quite ambient and lovely. Longest track already and we're five minutes into its twenty, picking up a little now but still great. Nine minutes in and we've gone all nature sounds with birdsong, babbling brooks and soft breezes, then a sort of funky guitar begins to come through, and we're into a kind of progressive melody in the twelfth. Very relaxing album overall. Enjoyed it a lot.

End result: It would be hard not to like this, really, wouldn't it?

So, Love or Hate? Or give it a Love. Which I will.
