Krautrock Legends CAN Released Second LP ‘TAGO MAGO’ 50 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

15 February 2021

Band: CAN
Who: German Krautrock pioneers and sound-explorers
Active: 1968–79, 1986, 1988, 1991, 1999

Album: TAGO MAGO – the band’s 2nd LP
Released: 15 February 1971 – 50 years ago today

Pitchfork wrote: “Tago Mago is seven songs in 73 minutes; the first half is big-beat floor-fillers, the second half yanks the floor away… They were a solid jam band, and Liebezeit could pull off those remarkable rhythms on stage, too, but it’s mostly interesting for its perspective on how much less a band Can might have been without Czukay’s keen razor blade slashing away their excesses and preserving their flashes of revelation.” Full review here. Score: 10/10.

German Legends CAN Released Their Debut Album ‘MONSTER MOVIE’ 50 Years Ago…

Posted on by JL

1 August 2019

Fifty years ago, on 2 August 1969 German musical innovators CAN released their debut longplayer ‘MONSTER MOVIE‘. Their very first work entitled ‘Prepared to Meet Thy Pnoom‘ was actually ready for release the year before but the band found no label who wanted to invest money in it and put it out (those recordings were eventually released on a LP in 1981 as part of ‘Delay 68‘).

So MONSTER MOVIE became CAN‘s first official LP displaying their creative appetite for mixing – in their weird, spellbinding way – psychedelia, rock and blues, free jazz, avant-garde and any sound/instrument that could serve their experimental repetitive rhythm textures and motorik beat jams, later labeled as Krautrock. This wasn’t their best work
yet, but a most intriguing introduction to their fascinating far-out sonic vision.

ALL MUSIC wrote: “Though ‘Monster Movie’ was the first full-length album in what would become a sprawling and often genre-defining discography, ‘Can’ were on a level well ahead
of the curve even in their most formative days. Recorded and released in 1969, ‘Monster Movie’ bears many of the trademarks that ‘Can’ would explore as they went on, as well as elements that would set the scene for the burgeoning Krautrock movement… Even in their earliest phases, Can were making their name by blowing away all expectations and notions that rock & roll had limits of any kind.” Score: 4.5/5 – Full review here
