@Zatzzo Probably not. But it was a lot easier for "weird" music to get attention back then because record companies were more willing to experiment. Now that the industry practically TELLS people what to like, its not so true anymore. Look up "Why radio and music industry sucks nowadays" and listen to what Frank Zappa has to say about it.
I heard of this band only by written references, by trendy reviewers etc. through the 80s or so. I thought I don't want to go there, experimental Kraut Rock, no tunes etc.
Have just clicked on a link, not at random, but lo and behold, I find something so modern yet early.
It sounds like a psychedelic jam, but with the rhythmic discipline of 90's E-music.
I would have loved to have found this at the time, 1971, I can't believe it!
This prefigures the next 30 to 40 years, amazing!
Radiohead is decent, but completely overrated, their only very good album is Ok computer and even that one isn't perfect. This band is much more original and better anyway.
@MissAtheist1 Listened to Tago mago on a pretty haunting MDMA come down, never been the same since! I Think no one comes near to Can in character and experimentation - true innovators and at the very least i love the way the vibrations sound ! I always found the drums of can on tago mago in particular very brooding and along with damo's strains and the sparse guitars creates a mesmerising/dark mood for me. VIVA CAN
Why the fuck are people talking about Radiohead in a Can video???
Anyway, Can is pretty badass. The music sounds better than a shit ton of modern music which means quite a bit seeing as how this was released in 1971. Monster Movie is also cool.
@BlarghenSnargle I think people are comparing Can and Radiohead because they see the latter as flame holders of the Kraut cannon. I disagree but not too strenuously. Radiohead are OK but I've never been into them, but the recent choice of remixers has been very futuristic and spot-on. Futuristic like Can!
(Having said that, it's been 40 years since this and I still think it's the best 'House' tune I've ever heard & I've been buying house 12"s since '89 - I only heard this track in '96
@BlarghenSnargle Because the fuck radiohead are peerless as the greatest band of the current age, and their last album sounds quite a bit like goddam Can. Check out King of Limbs--a Can fan like yourself might see something in it. Peace.
@ulrichborowka i dont think they will be forgotten, too much hype about them. I really love radiohead, but really too much hype. hopefully, they dont follow hype
@ulrichborowka if you don't think radiohead invented a new kind of music you haven't listened to them closely. I like Can better, but it's childish of you to think they will be forgotten in 20 years, Thom Yorke will probably still be making music in that time :P
It's funny everybody should talk about Can and in stead of talking of Can everybody is talking about Radiohead. This sound indeed crazy similar to Radiohead but come on :P
I thought Radiohead were inaccessible until I heard Can. But then inaccessible is good, it just means too many layers to comprehend at first, but after 5 years of listening it still sounds new.
Does anyone know what instrument is producing that psychedelic "twang" sound in the middle section? It sounds vaguely like an Indian instrument, like a tambura. But the credits in Tago Mago list the only instruments as guitar, bass, violin, drums, keyboards, double bass and piano. I'm baffled as to how they could get some of these sounds with just conventional instruments.
@pape37 Can is a band that has the power to make sound a guitar like a sitar, to play fingerpicking bass and lots of other non-conventional things that sound awesome!!
@AlabamaManWhore if anyone's wondering exactly how to make moloko plus, just mix 2oz baileys, 1oz absinthe, 1 oz liquier, 5 oz milk and shake it all up or blend it with ice, then serve in a tall glass. just make sure the doors are nailed by the time you've had your 8th........
Those really kind of sucky swell sounds are the cymbals being reversed. As cymbal hits resonate longer than kick, tom or snare hits, you're unlikely to hear the rest of the kit any differently when reversed.
Listening to this song in the winter for some reason is pretty epic if I do say so myself! Isis by Neu! is also good for that type of weather. I listened to that during a big snowstorm a few weeks back. That was amazing!
Hi all, there was a Krautrock documentary I saw where CAN was actually playing that song (live?), it was quite similar but Damo was actually screaming "Oh Yeah" several times during the whole song.. Can someone tell me where I can find it?
seems not to be your thing. for me eno is a very conservative, boring musician, roxy music was (in time) for the older generation, steely dan nice mainstream and the mothers only genies till burnt weeny sandwich.
on the other side, people who needed drugs to understand things like this track here, were not really in it.
I really don't get the whole Radiohead/Can comparison. I mean, I can see that Radiohead were inspired by Can, but I never think about Radiohead while I'm listening to Can.
Chist on a crutch! Why are you guys arguing about Radiohead here?
It's arrogant to assume your own tastes are higher evolved than another person's. What makes you so goddamn special? So you love/hate Radiohead? Whoop dee doo. Go yell at yourselves in a mirror. The rest of us just want to listen to and talk about Can.
my favourite song of all time actually, can't get enough of it :) There is something magic about it, or maybe it's just naturally awesome :) Harmonia with Watussi is another kraut-masterpiece
Reading these comments, reminds of a certain book with all that begat shit, lmao. If you go to Radiohead sites they are dissing Muse/Coldplay, kids today, and some grownups too I see, geez. I dig this band and am grateful for its influence. I never see anyone comparing The Beatles or Mozart, at least some things are fucking sacred. PEACE
Hey guys, calma! :) I'm from those who definitely respect the past but I can't close my eyes and lose the "now". Can IMO is a monumental group and evolved the rock music like no other in the '70s. RH evolving the alt-rock scene 13 years now also, making it sound more experimental electronica without the stereotype rock forms. Both groups are great, BUT for RH we must leave time to talk a little more. Moreover we CAN enjoy music without arguing on everyhting! Cheers.
@toomuchsparetime23 Yeah. I kinda missed that out. Though I think the drums are the same too, though that might just be the way they're played throughout as a general thing.
@PabzGLRP I don't think it's all reversed; I think they're just doing tape manipulation on some of the tracks. (My understanding is that they often built things up in the studio by jamming and then cutting and pasting.) No argument on mind-boggling, though.
@jackal59 That is indeed correct. I've checked it out, and it's only the vocals that are reversed (the reversed part at the beginning consists of the Japanese lyrics spoken by Damo later on in the track.) Also, yes, they did sample recordings from improvised sessions to form a number of songs.
@PabzGLRP actually i just thought about it, that can't be true on the whole track, it would only make sense with the vocals.. The drums dont sound in reverse, neither does the guitars.
@maniacguitar Yeah, I realised. Made a comment about it some weeks back. With the drums, I think it only sounds the same because the drumming itself is a metronomic beat; as such it's constant regardless of the direction it goes in. Same with the bass riff. It also only constitutes the first few minutes, where the backwards masking is present. If you were to reverse it, this would occur at the end of the track. It obviously couldn't reflect on the whole song, due to the guitar solo at the end.
@PabzGLRP No it isn't. The first half is a repeating cycle of four different chords, in which G major makes a regular appearance. The second half consists of a repeating cycle of two chords, G minor7 and C major, then a guitar solo on one chord before the final solo on Cmajor. G major is completely absent in the second half. Without G major, the magnificent sequence of the first half is impossible, and sure enough it makes no appearance in the second half, in reverse or in any other way.
@CultureJudge Well, I won't go into the specifics of chords used, but I've mentioned that the second half couldn't possibly be the same sequence as that of the first, due to the solo and the transition between certain sections that lead up to it. Perhaps I may have been a bit vague with my original comment that brought this idea to fruition, and it's probably only the vocals that ring true with this statement. Interpret it as you wish, I just found the technique fascinating at the time.

@PabzGLRP I don't think it's all reversed; I think they're just doing tape manipulation on some of the tracks. (My understanding is that they often built things up in the studio by jamming and then cutting and pasting.) No argument on mind-boggling, though.

@jackal59 That is indeed correct. I've checked it out, and it's only the vocals that are reversed (the reversed part at the beginning consists of the Japanese lyrics spoken by Damo later on in the track.) Also, yes, they did sample recordings from improvised sessions to form a number of songs.

@PabzGLRP WHAT?!!? That just melted my brain..... have you confirmed this for real?

@PabzGLRP actually i just thought about it, that can't be true on the whole track, it would only make sense with the vocals.. The drums dont sound in reverse, neither does the guitars.

@maniacguitar Yeah, I realised. Made a comment about it some weeks back. With the drums, I think it only sounds the same because the drumming itself is a metronomic beat; as such it's constant regardless of the direction it goes in. Same with the bass riff. It also only constitutes the first few minutes, where the backwards masking is present. If you were to reverse it, this would occur at the end of the track. It obviously couldn't reflect on the whole song, due to the guitar solo at the end.

@PabzGLRP No it isn't. The first half is a repeating cycle of four different chords, in which G major makes a regular appearance. The second half consists of a repeating cycle of two chords, G minor7 and C major, then a guitar solo on one chord before the final solo on Cmajor. G major is completely absent in the second half. Without G major, the magnificent sequence of the first half is impossible, and sure enough it makes no appearance in the second half, in reverse or in any other way.

@CultureJudge Well, I won't go into the specifics of chords used, but I've mentioned that the second half couldn't possibly be the same sequence as that of the first, due to the solo and the transition between certain sections that lead up to it. Perhaps I may have been a bit vague with my original comment that brought this idea to fruition, and it's probably only the vocals that ring true with this statement. Interpret it as you wish, I just found the technique fascinating at the time.
