Mother Sky
"Mother Sky" is a song by the krautrock group Can, written by members Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli, Irmin Schmidt, and Damo Suzuki. Lasting fourteen and a half minutes, it was recorded in July 1970 for the soundtrack of Jerzy Skolimowski's film '' Deep End'' and released in 1970 on Can's ''Soundtracks'' album. It opens in mid guitar solo before settling down into a familiar Can groove as singer Damo Suzuki mulls the relative merits of madness and "Mother Sky".

Future Days (album)
''Future Days'' is the fourth studio album by the German Krautrock group Can, released by United Artists in late 1973. The album employed significantly more complex production than any other album in the Can discography, and explored a more ambient–influenced sound. It was the group's final album to feature vocalist Damo Suzuki, who left the band within a few months after its release. According to Can biographer Rob Young, ''Future Days'' distinguishes itself as the group's "most weightless achievement, perpetuum mobile, solar-powered in an eternal peach sunset, skipping over the tips of green coastal sierras, gulping lungfuls of delicious air." Background and production In the aftermath of the '' Ege Bamyasi'' tour spanning February-May 1973, Can drew their attention back into the recording studio in order to capitalise on the recent live appearances. Before they started working on a new album, the band took a four-week vacation, which put them into a "sunny" mood that left ...

Moonshake (song)
"Moonshake" is a song by the krautrock band Can, released as a single, alongside the "Future Days" as the B-side, on their 1973 album '' Future Days''. Composition Rob Young, Can's biographer, compared "Moonshake" to the rest of "Can catalogue of perfectly formed pop songs". Similar to the song "She Brings the Rain" from '' Soundtracks'' and "Sing Swan Song" from '' Ege Bamyasi'', it introduces "elements of rock convention and erasing any sense of cliché around them". Additionally, "Moonshake" is the only track on the album that shifts into the Motorik rhythm, propagated by the band on their previous albums. Reception and legacy John Peel, reviewing the single for '' Sounds'', described it as "less than promising" but overall feeling that "it's great", although its chances to become a hit were "roughly comparable to his chances of being asked to join Ivy Benson's All-Girl Orchestra on harp". In 2017 ''Vice''s Drew Millard described "Moonshake" as "pre-punk-post-punk sugar rus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Landed (album)
''Landed'' is the sixth studio album by the German krautrock band Can (band), Can, released in September 1975 by Virgin Records.

Recording and production Can played a version of "Full Moon on the Highway" at Can Free Concert in February 1972. ''Landed'' was recorded in 1975 at Inner Space Studios in Weilerswist, near Cologne.

United Artists Records licensed the ''Limited Edition'' compilation and expanded it to a double LP with a further six unreleased tracks, under the title ''Unlimited Edition''. ''Limited Edition'' was curated by Duncan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It comprises previously unreleased work recorded for Can's rejected debut album, ''Prepared to Meet Thy Pnoom''. Background Recorded with the group's original lead singer Malcolm Mooney, Can offered ''Prepared to Meet Thy Pnoom'' to several record companies, but the album was not picked up.

Can recorded the song "Thief" in the summer of 1969 during a stay in Zurich. The band visited Zurich after receiving an invitation to perform a live score for the play ''Prometheus Bound'' at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, and recorded "Thief" in the theater's cellar "with awful acoustics".

Yoo Doo Right
"Yoo Doo Right" is the closing track on Can's 1969 debut album, ''Monster Movie'', edited down from a six-hour improvisation to a twenty-minute song. "Yoo Doo Right" features a pounding, tribal drums, along with a "colossal, grinding riff, subjected to endless variation and intensification", while Malcolm Mooney chants excerpts from a love letter in a mantra-like manner. Legacy Can continued to play the song after Mooney's departure, as heard on '' Can Live Music''. It has been covered in abbreviated form by the Geraldine Fibbers, Thin White Rope, Masaki Batoh, Susheela Raman, Jonathan Segel, The Wendys, and others.

Soon Over Babaluma
''Soon Over Babaluma'' is the fifth studio album by the rock music group Can, released in November 1974 by United Artists. This is the band's first album following the 1973 departure of their second vocalist Damo Suzuki. The vocals are provided by guitarist Michael Karoli and keyboardist Irmin Schmidt. It is also their last album that was created using a two-track tape recorder. It takes the ambient style of '' Future Days'' and pushes it even further at times, as on "Quantum Physics", although there are also some upbeat tracks, such as "Chain Reaction" and "Dizzy Dizzy". Background and production After the departure of the band's vocalist Damo Suzuki, Can auditioned several singers to fill the role of Suzuki, but eventually decided their guitarist Michael Karoli would take over vocals on most songs, with keyboardist Irmin Schmidt singing on "Come sta, la luna". Karoli later recalled that someone should fill the role of a vocalist, because he "thought, or we anthought, that ther ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Halleluhwah
"Halleluwah" (alternatively titled "Halleluhwah" on some post-1989 releases) is a song by the krautrock band Can, from their 1971 album ''Tago Mago''. The track, which originally took up a whole side of long-playing vinyl record, lasts for 18 minutes and 28 seconds and is characteristic of the band's sound around 1971 in that it features a vast array of improvised guitars and keyboards, tape editing, and the rhythm section "pounding out a monster trance/funk beat". The drum beat for which the song is famous is repeated almost continuously by Jaki Liebezeit, with only minor variations, throughout the course of the 18-minute jam. In one line of the song, Damo Suzuki's lyrics mention all the songs from side one of ''Tago Mago'': " mushroom head, oh yeah, paper house." The original UK pressing of ''Tago Mago'' misprinted the song's title as "Hallelujah" both on the LP's center label and on the back flap of the album jacket. Other versions A much shorter version of the song appear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
