I Want More (Can Song)
"I Want More" is a song by German rock band Can. It was released as a single in July 1976 and later included on Can's 1976 album '' Flow Motion''. Unusually, it features all members of the band on vocals simultaneously and is characteristic of their Virgin era sound, with lyrics written by Peter Gilmour. It was the band's only hit single in the UK, peaking at #26, which led to an appearance on ''Top of the Pops'' where Holger Czukay mimed a performance on double bass. The single was reissued on its 30th anniversary in 2006 by Spoon Records and reached number 103 in the UK Singles Chart in June. The single was released on a 7" picture disc, on 12" orange vinyl (limited copy pressing) and in digital download format. "... And More", also on ''Flow Motion'', repeats the chorus of the track and was included as a B-side to the single release.

Can (band)
Can (stylised as CAN) was a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne in 1968 by Holger Czukay (bass, tape editing), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Jaki Liebezeit (drums). The group used several vocalists, most prominently the American Malcolm Mooney (1968–70) and the Japanese Damo Suzuki (1970–73). They have been widely hailed as pioneers of the German krautrock scene. Coming from backgrounds in the avant-garde and jazz, Can blended elements of psychedelic rock, funk, and musique concrète on influential albums such as ''Tago Mago'' (1971), '' Ege Bamyasi'' (1972) and '' Future Days'' (1973). Can also had commercial success with singles such as "Spoon" (1971) and " I Want More" (1976) reaching national singles charts. Their work has influenced rock, post-punk, ambient, and electronic acts. History Origins: 1966–1968 The roots of Can can be traced back to Irmin Schmidt and a trip that he made to New York City in 1966. While Schmidt ...

B-side
The A-side and B-side are the two sides of phonograph records and cassettes; these terms have often been printed on the labels of two-sided music recordings. The A-side usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to be the initial focus of promotional efforts and radio airplay and hopefully become a hit record. The B-side (or "flip-side") is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been as successful as, or more so than, their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the 21st century as the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formats without physical sides, such as CDs, downloads and streaming. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms ''A-side'' and ''B-side'' metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with ''B-side'' sometimes representing a "bonus" track or other material.

Flow Motion
''Flow Motion'' is the seventh studio album by German rock band Can. It was released in October 1976 and features the UK hit single " I Want More". Recording and production Recording sessions for what would become ''Flow Motion'' began at Can's Inner Space Studio in Cologne in the spring of 1976. Since their previous album '' Landed'', the band had been recording on a state-of-the-art 16-track machine, which had changed the dynamics of the group and the way they recorded. Instead of playing everything live together, different members could now record their parts separately. This, and their embracing of rhythms (especially disco) on ''Flow Motion'' that were unpopular with rock music fans, is probably why the album was not as well received by fans and critics when it first appeared. ''Flow Motion'' was mixed using "Artificial Head" binaural stereo. The cover features a photograph taken by band member Michael Karoli.
