Album Notes
Can: Michael Karoli (vocals, guitar); Irmin Schmidt (vocals, keyboards); Holger Czukay (vocals, bass); Jaki Leibezeit (drums); Malcolm Mooney, Damo Suzuki (vocals).Between its 1968 inception in Cologne, Germany as a rock outlet for classically trained keyboardist Irmin Schmidt and jazz bassist Holger Czukay and its eventual dissolution in the late '70s, Can was an ever-mutating, endlessly innovative entity. With brilliant guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Michael Karoli, incomparable vocalist Kenji "Damo" Suzuki, and Czukay and human drum-machine Jaki Liebezeit at its core--one of the better rhythm sections ever--the deservedly admired and much-imitated Can was nothing less than an unstoppable creative engine.Compiling a definitive "Can-thology" is a daunting prospect. Most of the double-disc ANTHOLOGY's selections are inspired. Included are the entirety of MONSTER MOVIE's serpentine 20-minute "Yoo Doo Right" and propulsive "Father Cannot Yell"; the slinky "She Brings the Rain" (a SOUNDTRACKS favorite); FUTURE DAYS' blissful title track; and such popular singles as "Moonshake" and "Spoon." But questionable edits of the essential "Mother Sky," "Aumgn," "Soup," and "Halleluwah" only offer a taste, and the omission of EGE BAMYASI's fabulous "Vitamin C" is puzzling. Disc two samples generously from all later albums except 1978's Can-despised OUT OF REACH. Though less innovative than the band's unparalleled 1969-1975 material, such tracks as SAW DELIGHT's sun-drenched, polyrhythmic "Animal Waves" and FLOWMOTION's lovely "Cascade Waltz" are no less delightful.
