Can were soooooo under-rated when they were at their best, imho. It's worth listening to all of their stuff, not just Tago Mago (arguably their most classic recording) to experience the spread and inventiveness of their sound.
the fantastic drumming last trough the whole first album of the doublealbum tagomago, .i,ve heard through the halleluwah weekly for 39 yrs, and still havent managed to find any abrubted rythms, wish i had the same talents.imagine me driving car listening to can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wouldnt even call it a condensation. can always relied heavily on improvisation, i don't think there's a "definitive" version of any of their songs to be honest.
To me, it has all of the essential elements of the original studio improvisation, but compacted together. That, to me, is a condensation. "Definitive"? I didn't say that. The 18-minute studio version has its own merits. But if I wanted to play someone without a long attention span a 6-minute encapsulation of what Can is all about, I'd play them this.
they are true pioneers, loads of bands must been inspired by them radiohead, happy mondays even a few of their songs sound like the red hot chilli peppers they are super heavyyyyyyyyyyyy!
The studio version of this song is 18:32 of straight up trippin, an epic journey to an undiscovered universe of sound, rhythm and imagination. Check tago mago.
Jaki Liebeszeit is the drummer - bro could pound. Best drummer I've ever heard.
Hell yeah - Tago Mago helped shape my musical universe. Jaki was very powerful yet was able to groove at the same time. When he and Holger locked, it was magic.
Fantastic stuff. Always heard the name can but never took the time to look into them.
Druming/rhytham section fantastic. Can see were the Happy Mondays got a lot of influence, just listen to the early stuff

This is a perfect 6 1/2 minute condensation of an 18 minute track! This is Can at the very peak of their powers.

Seul Miles Davis durant sa période électrique pouvait rivaliser avec ce groove sale et hypnotique.

WDR stands for "Westdeutscher Rundfunk", which would be a good description of Can.

Perfect Drumming. He looks like he could do his ironing at the same times and still be like a human metronome.
