Let's talk about Can

Okay,
I'm a latecomer to this band. I first got introduced by a vinyl collector friend a few years ago. I'm just kind of blown away that music like this was being made side-by-side with the Grateful Dead, the Stones, and all the shite that we call "psychedelic" music. This stuff is truly bizarre psychedelia that lets you see the people who were really pushing the envelope back in the 60s/70s. The stuff we think of as 60s/70s "trippy" music, really only scratched the surface of what was really going on.
For your listening pleasure:
Can: "Paperhouse"

Listening to the entirety of their album, Tago Mago, tonight. Holy shite. Mind blown once again. I dare some of you psychedelic warriors to get a good dose on and throw this on the sound system.

Do you not listen, though, and think, "Holy shite! These guys were doing this in 1971!" I mean. This stuff is timeless. It could be coming out today and be considered relevant and important.
The layers.... oh the layers... headphones are the way to go.

krautrock at it's finest

When I said it was a challenge.. I meant it was a challenge. And not a particularly good natured one. Not sure I would go stronger than THC for this trip. It's offputting material at times.

As a big time Krautrock fan I can definately say Halleluhwah by Can is the best krautrock jam I've heard
That and Neu!'s first album are the crowning achievements of Krautrock
Well other than Kraftwerk...which might be better than all of it

This live jam is fricking incredible

The earlier stuff like Tago Mago is the best, but Future Days is a fricking incredible album too. The early stuff can get a little too out for me sometimes.

Loved several Krautrock bands, Can being one of them...

Have y'all seen this BBC documentary about Krautrock? It's really good.

They did similar good ones about prog and 80s electronic music.

This is my first time listening to this band. Paperhouse is making me feel good in the bathing suit spot. Nice recommendation.

They're fantastic

Really happy to spread the word. I'm kind of getting obsessed.

I had never heard of Can until I read John Lydon's autobiography several years ago. He mentioned them several times as being one of, if not his most, favorite bands. That piqued my interest so I checked Tago Mago and Future Days. Like you've said, I was blown away that this music had been made back then. It still sounds fresh and vital to my ears.

Almost everyone know of Kraftwerk, but Amon Duul II was one of the more successful spacy Kraut Rock bands- Check out 'Wolf City' and 'Dance of the Lemmings' albums.

Yes! My obsession with Can quickly led into an obsession with Amon Duul II.
