Future Days for example consists of some incredibly great tunes but the b side is far too lengthy, same problems with the live recordings. So the most remarkable discoveries are the soundtrack recordings on Lost Tapes, which are variations of tunes otherwise released on the albums. <br />There was no prominent singer or solo guitar wanking with a replacable backing band but a collective interaction (That´s what I like about early techno, the absense of rockstardom. Just some music on a whitelabel which you either like or not) I think that made their sound so outstanding.<br />I still quite like Babaluma if there wasn´t this horrible last track on the a-side (see above). The strong german accent of Michael Karolis vocals must have been quite disturbing for native english speakers, but again I like this denial of rock stereotypes.<br />By the way, you once asked for favored rhythm sections. That definitely has to be the unique Jaki Liebezeit with Jah Wobble as featured on the early Holger Czukay Albums.<br />Sorry for poor Dexter, Mr Z<br /><br />Herr AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-41591774474528016832017-08-09T09:32:14.393+02:002017-08-09T09:32:14.393+02:00this is great thanks..........i like it as much as...this is great thanks..........i like it as much as the other stuff, eh<br />kevinessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009393923932953707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-44806481241471390842017-08-05T15:47:24.751+02:002017-08-05T15:47:24.751+02:00PS...i'd put Delay 1968 in third place....its ...PS...i'd put Delay 1968 in third place....its got songs like Ege Bamyasi.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-78024243957615264772017-08-05T15:46:06.923+02:002017-08-05T15:46:06.923+02:00To answer Parmlee's query....as I bought Tago ...To answer Parmlee's query....as I bought Tago Mago a good couple of years after Ege Bamyasi,the thrill of the new blinded me to the possibility that it wasn't as utterly fulfilling as Bamyasi....so around the mid-nineties, i found myself playing EB as my Can album of choice....although TG has the better cover art.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-9166578545807238202017-08-04T19:25:22.523+02:002017-08-04T19:25:22.523+02:00Also, on post-Mooney/Suzuki Can: it's hard no...Also, on post-Mooney/Suzuki Can: it's hard not to like some of those goofy mid-70's television appearances.parmaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166917258724450155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-17555491390790042452017-08-04T19:03:47.646+02:002017-08-04T19:03:47.646+02:00It took me about 20 years to figure out that Ege B...It took me about 20 years to figure out that Ege Bamyasi was better than Tago Mago--how long you?

I love the African derived rhythms that run throughout it, and it's arc from beginning to end flows as strongly as any of their more lauded releases. I call it my favorite Can record, say what you will.<br /><br />That said, the final comp in question here is largely unmemorable to these ears. Irmin Schmidt has assured us it contains the last of any extant studio recordings they'll release and I believe him, as the marginality of much of what's on offer here eyes the bottom of the proverbial barrel indeed.<br /><br />Thanks for the post and all the "and Eno" stuff too.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559950620807854485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-88477230641207811512017-08-03T17:38:27.340+02:002017-08-03T17:38:27.340+02:00i second babaluma.their last album with expansive ...i second babaluma.their last album with expansive type music on it. give "chain reaction/quantum physics" another spin. the way quantum is a slow decay of what came before is...rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356681123949683824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-53329524146658290682017-08-03T15:33:55.464+02:002017-08-03T15:33:55.464+02:00Well, surprisingly, I too have a soft spot for Bab...Well, surprisingly, I too have a soft spot for Babaluma, like all the records i bought and didn't like when I had no money.It takes me back to a time and place, unlike TAGO mAGO. Whether its good or not, I can't really say, because its too subjective a matter for me. I suspect it is in the lower half of can's repertoire.....but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.
