Who here is wise to the brillance that is Can? Songs like Soup and OH yeah are just absolutly over the top crazy ...... as APhex twin crazy.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Been meaning to check them out. Krautrock right? Apparently they were a big influence on many. Which albums should I check? How about Neu! I've heard they are not very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am not wise by any means but I love Can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Jonesy: Can: Tago Mago is a good starting point, as well as Soundtracks Neu! have only three albums and are said to be excellent by those who know. I haven't listened to them personally. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neu! is cool but Faust is better..... |
||||||||
|
|

|
I saw Damo Suzuki live last summer in Belgrade. He played some Can songs too. Nice chap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got Ege Bamyasi .. pretty cool stuff - though have been meaning to pick up Tago Mago .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tago Mago is agreed to be their finest. I have to agree. It has everything from blues through heavy metal and proto-techno to heavy duty avantgarde abstraction. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I know .. wasn't in the store when I wanted to buy it - so settled for Ege .. and then later when cashflow was a bit low Tago Mago appeared. 2cd also eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my version is on one cd. Though it is almost full 80 minutes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah ok .. jonesy, you know UNKLE mixed one of Cans songs .. i think its on freestyle vol 2 (!k7)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I should probably warn you that my version is burned and not bought, so, it might be that the retail item itself is on 2 CD's. But I'm almost sure I've seen original CD and that it's not double. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I have that but can't remember what its like. Does it deviate from the original much? Thos Freestyle Files are good comps. BTW I have a new Terranova album for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Re: 2 vs 1 cd - my memory might be messing with me, but i saw it in borders, so perhaps the US version had 2cd (or was even a rerelease with xtra trax?) .. don't know .. New? eh .. really, when was this released? Um.. the unkle version sort of meanders a bit more than the original. also i don' tthink its exactly a representative track of can ?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hitch-hiking non stop .. actually i remember now, i listened to a single off the k7 site .. (single or ep?) can't remember, either way it was vinyl only .. |
||||||||

Can RULE! anyone heard of any recent releases by a band called Medicine, who apparrently are (were now Karoli RIP?) Can? neu! are pretty good - dead hippy though, did some dodgy album remixes of their own songs where all they did was just speed the entire track up. they had 3 albums, neu!, neu! 2, and neu! 75 if i remember correctly, ONE of those is REALLY good (the others are decent too), the really good one is the one which starts with the song "Isi" but i can't remember it's title. Bowie was reckoned to have got inspired by them for the drumming on "Heroes"... As i said, they also did some messing about with tapeloops, some of which is pretty good. (hope my browser doesn't make this post 3 times again like my last one) |

can has also been on my list of bands to listen to but just havent heard em yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used to listen to CAN in highschool and drink copious amounts of Robitussin DM. explains alot about me now that I think about it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just get Future Days, pop it on repeat and leave for several days, then decide.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
robitussin dm? that shit will kill you. gotta do the max strength. on can: dling now, hope its good, never heard of it tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CAN also had member in common with Psychik TV- no? DM= dextromethorphan~mdma |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only Can release i've got so far is The Peel Sessions compilation... been meaning to get a few more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there was a CAN/Psychic TV connection?, what is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can were amazing, i have their 2CD 'best of' and it's interesting how ahead of the times they were. looking forward to the 2-disc Can DVD coming soon with live and documentary footage as well as 5.1 surround sound remixed songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CAN FUCKING RULES! a bunch of their classic albums are being rereleased on Mute right away! ... the oozing prais is absolutely merited i swear on my life... do yourself a favour and check out Ege Bamyasi or Tago Mago... you might not like it... but you might also discover one of the most awesome forward-minded bands this world has ever produced... just a friendly heads up your friend... me <3 |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i think faust is better than neu!, and i wouldn't compare can. but can is great too. tago mago <3 i do recommend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the concept of can is better than actually listening to them. I have a few can cd's that i leave out to impress my mates but fuck me i would never listen to that arthouse shite! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im quite a fan.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FUTURE DAYS tago mago is good but future days is the fucking masterpiece as far as i'm concerned |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the can DVD's fucking great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Vitamin C is such a great track. Sounds like some neurotic angel. Anybody remember Vit C from the board? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can is awesome. Can is awesome. Can is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have heard Tago Mago, some parts are pretty dull and some are really good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm really getting into Can these days. live bootlegs are the way to go for me. they're great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

wha is that people? Cfern jonesy Meho Krljic korben dallas steve mcqueen bitch hog O_O |

who* |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no. no, do not ruin this thread, tridenti. this is a good thread. do not post off topic messages in it. do not ruin this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha that'll teach you to bump old threads... hmm whatever happened to vit c anyway? i liked her, she was cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha fuck off hey, you know what? i do really regret bumping this thread. i should have realized that no one would want to discuss music here EVER. i did a search for can threads and this was the one where people were discussing can, so obviously it's the one i posted about can in! i don't make new threads when there's already a thread for the topic i want to discuss because i am considerate. why the fuck can't you people leave the good threads alone? get your own thread to go, "haha who are these old people? where did tyhey go i wonder?" yes it's fucking hilarious. look how much i'm laughing. i hope this thread gets closed and all the posts beginning with mine get deleted. end rant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know it's nothing personal, bob, but really i am sick of not being able to discuss music on the music board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm yeah sorry if i contributed to the ruining of this thread, i do tend to go off topic a little too much...i dunno i guess i just wanted to take the oppertunity to find out where vit c was, like someone would read my question and tell me. its not a big deal, not something i would make a new thread about, but i figured that since ophecks already mentioned her, this seemed like the right oppertunity... still going off topic is one of the things i love about xlt, you never know where a thread will end up. but in the spirit of keeping music threads about music, i shall ask - what can release do you recommend, and why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some serious can discussion ahead! i'll start by listing (some of) my favourite songs: * mother sky (the essence of great krautrock) * oh yeah (the obvious choice and still awesome) * halleluwah (da fonk machine!) * one more night (return of da fonk machine) * vitamin c (could jaki be the best drummer EVER? yes.) * future days (ah, pure bliss! and that ending is wicked) * moonshake (boogie!) * quantum physics (the drum and synthesizer sounds on this track should be graced with its own topic) * cutaway (cool in a faustian way - the band, that is) * animal waves (this is just an amazing track for a number of reasons i won't bore you with here) * return to bb city (see above) so... have anyone bought the can dvd? that 15 minute version of 'spoon' from the 1972 live show is INTENSE! |
||||||||

|
|
Can are lovelygreat. Any particular bootlegs you would recommend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Their music is good but they cannae sing for jobbies. I prefer can's of Chappie any day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well there's that live album, Delay 1968 or something, it's quite good I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, this one that was posted today is great: 1976-04-28 Can@Koeln http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=45807 it sounds very decent as far as these things go and i really enjoyed the material they did. you have to sign up to download the torrent, but it is worth signing up to that site. they have tons of great bootlegs, all in lossless formats. they had a nice collection of radio performances of can before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait, I think it's just a compilation of early tracks, nevermind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thank yous. |

i don't know if the 1973 l'olympia, paris and 1972 cologne shows are still active on the dime, but those are the ones to start your can bootleg collection with. excellent sound, great performances and from their best era. (i am the mighty humanoidboo, by the way, and you're not worthy!) (the above sentence was a joke and i should go to bed) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have the '72 one. it's cool! :) |
