Just read all this analytical tosh;having listened to the album Tago Mago on and off since going to a Can gig in 1973, I still think it's still out there as a testiment to the bands creativity,none more so than Mushroom.The drumming still sounds off the wall even in2001.
@uktransplantedyank In regards to me not having a sense of humor you might want to check yourself out. I watched your videos...and you've definitely got some work to do. But my point originally was that this song is a very deep a meaningful to a lot of people (I mean just read the two top comment) so when I read some yuck yuck comment of someone trying to make a "funny" it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Anyways, back to the music.
:O Oh no - someone criticising my videos! Whatever shall I do?
Seriously, though - I can assure you I enjoy the depth of Can every bit as much as you do. I simply have a sense of humour that you quite obviously lack. Stop taking yourself so seriously, mate.
@fasolplanetarium Quite a few hip-hop groups have sampled 'em--Cut Chemist from Jurassic 5 sampled the first bar of "I'm So Green" for the remix of Ugly Duckling's "Eye On The Gold Chain" and Prime Minister Pete Nice and DJ Richie Rich sampled "Vitamin C" on "Ashes To Ashes"...there are more...
When my daughter died in 2001 I used to listen to thsi with headphones, the drums and the song helped me. In my mind the words had an interpretation that spoke to me, reflected my feelings at the time. I emailed damo suzuki and told him how much it meant to me. He answered back. I think our society in the US does not teach us anything about Death.
@dejahthoris death is one of those things that doesn't sell to well with the kiddies. so we don't see it too often. and when we do, it's usually a joke.
@sillybilly972 yep I a not a dude I guess - I am old and a mom who has been listening to music since the days of the beatles- but yes you are right! music, well art is the way we as mankind create lasting beauty!
@dejahthoris That's why Buddhism appeals to me so much - always contemplating death that always happen, and can oly ever happen in the present moment, not at some future time as the mind loves to think. Just discovered Can!
is there any chance he's saying "one-eyed soul" instead "When I saw"? Saw Julian Cope use the one-eyed soul reference in a Miles Davis review, I like that line better anyways : )
@mhotter It says what you need to hear. Damo suzuki speaks three languages them and combines them in his songs. You will hear want you want or need to hear.
@origiinofsymmetry Not really, that's kinda what makes them so amazing. Sonic Youth and Radiohead have done things that you can tell have been influenced by this. Come to think of it, a band called "Neu!" are from about the same era and have done similar work on some albums.
someone on omegle showed me this song. best omegle conversation ever. i think we disconnected by mistake. we talked about a lot of things, like toot it and boot it. the clash. milo ventimiglia. and the fact that i might be 57 and a man. if this was you, PLEASE contact me! you're so great!!!
Pink Floyd's influence can be seen across the board,specially progressive rock,alternative and psychedelic rock,and some genres of metal (progressive,doom,death/doom).This doesnt sound like alt rock at all,more like trip hop.And Floyd sounds "dated"?I LOLD coz you fail,epically!
@enigma81581 Hmmm, Floyd not dated? that's debateable, to say the least. The Syd Barrett stuff, though awesome, is very much of its time, and their later stuff like DSOTM pushes all the 80s drama buttons...
@dtoonzip,got this album as a import, not sure what year,around 1973?, loved listening to this full blast on the cans while under the influence lol.Was lucky to see Can play at Wolverhampton Civic hall around 78'ish ,they were awesome
it's just too bluesy for me. haha. arguing about who's more revolutionary..hendrix...or floyd...you chumps are whats "wrong" with the scene. trying to compare the two's significance shows quite a lack of understanding and awareness in any sense of the words. hendrix and syd would both be annoyed.
i've been listening to this music since i was 3 yrs old and at the age of 42 i still get the goose bumps, trying to indoctrinate my 3 young sons to cans krautrock............
@bumratbob 'Can' as in container, bro. Most of the band members were influenced by their time spent working in factories that canned 'Campbell's Soup'.
this song is about a baby being born, right when he gets his first view of the world a nuclear bomb goes off killing him, so he was born and he was dead. Thought he saw the sky was red.
@mnash1015 oh nooo ! dude, you must be right but in another way, it kills the idea I had of the song (I saw it as psychedelic lyrics about someone having shrooms and feeling like being born and dead at the same time..) now the song is just sad, and the song sounds different to me :s
@mnash1015 Cool, alls my life I thought this song is just about taking magic mushrooms, because he sings so slurry, than k you!Makes the band even cooler!
@BleedingSunday that is quite possible, this is simply my interpretation of it. The sound of the explosion at the end I believe to be the sound of a nuclear bomb. As well as the lyrics, I was born, I was dead." well, i saw skies are red" in reference to the nuclear blast and the baby having just one quick glimpse of the world and then dying, so he can say about it "well, I saw skies were red" and of course mushroom just being a direct reference for a mushroom cloud.
@reefermadnesso if souls didnt exist we'd all be the same. we'd all think the same. im not catholic, i just believe that when u die ur soul goes 2 where ever u believed u would go on earth
I read about this band in the 90's after findingP.I.l. and allI can say is it sounds fresher more vital and alive than anything else.Honest whereas the punkers were not instrumentalists and reacting from pop.&0's pop had a lot of invention .FrankZappa wa knownand experimenting was derigeur.Music wqas music not lyrics .Whois doing something new now.Imsurprised Reich andphasing have not become part of the vocabulary.
Mushroom - atomic bombs on Japan .The song is about that . Sad but true . That is why the song is so good , and I think the vid should be better . My apologies to all Japanese for what " The menkind " did to you . PS . I watched Damo twice in Belgrade .
This song to me holds up. It doesn't sound "dated"... it's still musically relevant.. if released today it wouldn't sit out of place. Love the creepy vid. wow. I LOVE these guys. Tago Mago is my suggestion for a starter album..as it was my first Can Album back in 2002.. followed by ulimited edition and monster Movie.
if you think about it, Can is far more revolutionary than any band for its time. their sound can be heard much more in the 90s/00s alt rock than say Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd's experimental stuff sounds dated to me, while Can sounds very fresh even today.
being revolutionary is not binary. you can have a small revolution, or a big one. i guess you can judge that by the influence of the given revolution. however, how you see the revolution and the extent of its influence is subjective.
well it's not only about rock music, what about electronic music, what about prog-metal... and in the end - what about radiohead? what about earlier pink floyd albums which are full of psychedelic sound similar to alt rock of 90's. it's not simple thing. it's all about how deep are you going.
i don't understand what you're trying to say. what about radiohead? since 2000, radiohead have had a sound that is very close to the sound of Can. i'm not trying to hate on radiohead, they're probably my all time favorite band along with the chili peppers, but they REALLY sound like Can sometimes.
@LfunkeyA haha Thats a Pretty Incorrect Thing To Say The Only Reason theres a Relation between this an Alt Rock Of the 90s is Becouse The Singers Sound Like they Dont Give a Fuck .Plus damo Kind of immatates Morrison When he Starts yelling.Theres A Whole Album Of Modern Bands Covering Floyd Stuff.i personally Believe Bands Like Floyd and Early Genesis Did a Much Better Job of experimenting Musicaly Than Can.Ifyou WatchPink Floyd at Pompeii i dontbelieve u can confidently say anyband is More Rev.
i can confidently say that hendrix is more revolutionary than floyd. i can say that a 100 bands from the 70s/80s in the genres of krautrock/psychedelic/jazz/funk/post-punk/new wave have done far more boundary stretching stuff. the main reason why floyd is so praised is because of how they have made psychedelic/experimental stuff so accessible and poppy. it's all opinion in the end though, neither of us is really 'right'.
@Lfunkey Im Pretty sure out of the HundredBands from the70sand80s Youre Talking about alot arebound to be Floyd Inspired theyveBen Goin atit since 1966 and if You Call SaucerfulofSecrets or darkside of the moon "Poppy" You Have No idea The Termonology of the Word.forthe record i neversaid anyone was "right" i said youwhere incorrect wich is obvious becouse yourestating that a post-punk/new wave band has done more Boundrystretching stuff than FLOYD Musicallyeducated peoplelaugh at such a comment
I'm pretty sure that hendrix, funkadelic, any krautrock band, and most post-punk bands have nothing to do with pink floyd. at this point you're just being a douche for calling me 'wrong' again and for claiming that i'm not 'musically educated'. what does that even mean? that i can't play music, or that i haven't heard enough music. cause i've certainly done both. and if you think that experimental and psychedelic music began with floyd, you're the one who needs some education.
@LfunkeyA WhyThe fuck Do You keep using My Words?You Say the main reason why floyd is so praised is because of how they havemade psychedelic/experimental stuffso accessible and poppy then What the Fuck Did Hendrix do You Dumb ass?What do You Think Wild Thing is?Strictly a Pop Song Written By the troggs that He performed Jimi Hendrix Was Inspired By almost the Same Blues acts as Pink Floyd you can hear them Both in 1966Playing the Same Music...TheBlues.Almost Every Rev" act is rooted in theblues
@LfunkeyA Hendrix And floyds Music Was rooted in The Blues.Blues Has ben Around Since the World Began and That Magics gonna Keep On Goin as Long As Theres artists Like Hendrix and Floyd.Great music is Rooted in The Blues not funkadelic, any krautrock band, any post-punk.THE Blues.what i Meant By Musically Educated is someone Whos Experience Beutifull Sophisticated Pieces of Music Like Bach Or Zeppelin Not What Some 90s Poser Scribled Down on a Piece of Paper,great Composers Care For their music.

I read about this band in the 90's after findingP.I.l. and allI can say is it sounds fresher more vital and alive than anything else.Honest whereas the punkers were not instrumentalists and reacting from pop.&0's pop had a lot of invention .FrankZappa wa knownand experimenting was derigeur.Music wqas music not lyrics .Whois doing something new now.Imsurprised Reich andphasing have not become part of the vocabulary.

Mushroom - atomic bombs on Japan .The song is about that . Sad but true . That is why the song is so good , and I think the vid should be better . My apologies to all Japanese for what " The menkind " did to you . PS . I watched Damo twice in Belgrade .

listen to "Future Days" if you please...
...which was my first Can album 30 years ago & I would like to recommend you to it.

This song to me holds up. It doesn't sound "dated"... it's still musically relevant.. if released today it wouldn't sit out of place. Love the creepy vid. wow. I LOVE these guys. Tago Mago is my suggestion for a starter album..as it was my first Can Album back in 2002.. followed by ulimited edition and monster Movie.

if you think about it, Can is far more revolutionary than any band for its time. their sound can be heard much more in the 90s/00s alt rock than say Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd's experimental stuff sounds dated to me, while Can sounds very fresh even today.

Being revolutionary is binary...
You either are or aren't.
Can definitely is.
But you can't really be more, or less revolutionary in a general sense. It's not linear, different things revolutionize different elements.
Maybe you could refine your arguement.

being revolutionary is not binary. you can have a small revolution, or a big one. i guess you can judge that by the influence of the given revolution. however, how you see the revolution and the extent of its influence is subjective.
LfunkeyA 2 years ago
The definition of revolutionary is an if then statement.
IF something is revolutionary THEN it because it revolutionized something
Tehcarp 2 years ago
yes, and your point is?

Its a then if statement.

That your comment doesn't have the weight you think it does.
More importantly that it does not allow for the comparisons that you are trying to extend it to.

maybe you should think about your comments too

Ok, what parts did you think are unclear? I think this is an interesting debate and I'd love to in the end have both our points clear.

yeah, Syd Barrat had no influence.

@LfunkeyA
well it's not only about rock music, what about electronic music, what about prog-metal... and in the end - what about radiohead? what about earlier pink floyd albums which are full of psychedelic sound similar to alt rock of 90's. it's not simple thing. it's all about how deep are you going.

i don't understand what you're trying to say. what about radiohead? since 2000, radiohead have had a sound that is very close to the sound of Can. i'm not trying to hate on radiohead, they're probably my all time favorite band along with the chili peppers, but they REALLY sound like Can sometimes.

@LfunkeyA Upon first listening I thought they sounded a lot like Pink Floyd "Meddle". Then I realized what I was listening to was from '69.

@LfunkeyA haha Thats a Pretty Incorrect Thing To Say The Only Reason theres a Relation between this an Alt Rock Of the 90s is Becouse The Singers Sound Like they Dont Give a Fuck .Plus damo Kind of immatates Morrison When he Starts yelling.Theres A Whole Album Of Modern Bands Covering Floyd Stuff.i personally Believe Bands Like Floyd and Early Genesis Did a Much Better Job of experimenting Musicaly Than Can.Ifyou WatchPink Floyd at Pompeii i dontbelieve u can confidently say anyband is More Rev.

@MagicDexter68
i can confidently say that hendrix is more revolutionary than floyd. i can say that a 100 bands from the 70s/80s in the genres of krautrock/psychedelic/jazz/funk/post-punk/new wave have done far more boundary stretching stuff. the main reason why floyd is so praised is because of how they have made psychedelic/experimental stuff so accessible and poppy. it's all opinion in the end though, neither of us is really 'right'.
LfunkeyA 1 year ago
@Lfunkey Im Pretty sure out of the HundredBands from the70sand80s Youre Talking about alot arebound to be Floyd Inspired theyveBen Goin atit since 1966 and if You Call SaucerfulofSecrets or darkside of the moon "Poppy" You Have No idea The Termonology of the Word.forthe record i neversaid anyone was "right" i said youwhere incorrect wich is obvious becouse yourestating that a post-punk/new wave band has done more Boundrystretching stuff than FLOYD Musicallyeducated peoplelaugh at such a comment

@MagicDexter68
I'm pretty sure that hendrix, funkadelic, any krautrock band, and most post-punk bands have nothing to do with pink floyd. at this point you're just being a douche for calling me 'wrong' again and for claiming that i'm not 'musically educated'. what does that even mean? that i can't play music, or that i haven't heard enough music. cause i've certainly done both. and if you think that experimental and psychedelic music began with floyd, you're the one who needs some education.

@LfunkeyA WhyThe fuck Do You keep using My Words?You Say the main reason why floyd is so praised is because of how they havemade psychedelic/experimental stuffso accessible and poppy then What the Fuck Did Hendrix do You Dumb ass?What do You Think Wild Thing is?Strictly a Pop Song Written By the troggs that He performed Jimi Hendrix Was Inspired By almost the Same Blues acts as Pink Floyd you can hear them Both in 1966Playing the Same Music...TheBlues.Almost Every Rev" act is rooted in theblues
MagicDexter68 1 year ago
@LfunkeyA Hendrix And floyds Music Was rooted in The Blues.Blues Has ben Around Since the World Began and That Magics gonna Keep On Goin as Long As Theres artists Like Hendrix and Floyd.Great music is Rooted in The Blues not funkadelic, any krautrock band, any post-punk.THE Blues.what i Meant By Musically Educated is someone Whos Experience Beutifull Sophisticated Pieces of Music Like Bach Or Zeppelin Not What Some 90s Poser Scribled Down on a Piece of Paper,great Composers Care For their music.
