Album Notes
SACRILEGE: REMIXES features remixes of classic Can songs by Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, The Orb, A Guy Called Gerald, U.N.K.L.E. and many others.Given the esteem in which Can is held in many musical quarters, the title SACRILEGE is not entirely facetious when it comes to a collection of remixes. This two-disc collection gathers remixes of classic '70s-vintage krautrock as done by '90s artists influenced not only by Can's distinctive, hypnotic polyrhythms but by all that had come after. The results are probably not for krautrock purists, but they do go a long way towards showing how much closer Can's Stockhausen-influenced theories of repetition and rhythm are to the musical mainstream two decades down the line. Whether remixed by old-school Can fans like Sonic Youth or the Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley or upstarts like U.N.K.L.E. or A Guy Called Gerald, Can's propulsive, inimitable grooves are strong enough to withstand even the most radical reconstructions.
Editorial Reviews
...Some of these grooves are nearly 30 years old, but their unique sound remains entirely contemporary. - Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly (05/30/1997)
...This is an apt tribute to a rock group which truly helped extend the boundaries of the idiom as much as the artists here are currently extending the boundaries of techno, drum 'n' bass and what-have-you.
