Rest in peace, Damo. You may be gone from this world physically, but you'll live on forever spiritually through this wonderful music! Searching for my brother!
I was lucky enough to meet him at a beautiful very intimate gig in the woods @ FellFoot in the Lake district England and also again when he did play with one of my friends at Night and Day in Manchester. 💘
Saw him live in the 90s several times playing sessions with different musicians weekly for very little money. After that I can't imagine a drummer who is actually better.
You can hear Can's influence on Post-Punk, Hip-Hop, Post-Rock, Electronic music, everything that came after...Massive Attack, the Minutemen, Talk Talk, and any more. You can hear a little Can in them all.
100%. You can debate which Can album is the greatest all you want, Tago Mago is the most unhinged of them all by a wide wide margin. Like musicians somehow going into a pre-consciousness state of mind and just unloading every idea they had, cohesively, onto a spiralling, unfolding genius album.
Hate to rehash the obvious comparison, but Can and the Velvet Underground were time travelers. They influenced music that didn’t truly occur again until decades later.
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
It's weird I don't know why so many Can fans love this song and this album so much. I think this song is ok, and the album is definitely one of the better Can albums, but best? I prefer both soundtracks and Ege Bamyasi, maybe that's just me though
@@humzahj. I think it's because it's a very specific album. All the songs go well with each other. They all fit the same aesthetic. And the album's flow from one track to another is also amazing.
Jugenderinnerungen. Mit 16 wurde ich mit dieser Musik bekannt gemacht. Ein Gegenentwurf zu dem herkömmlichen Pop Business. Die starke musikalische Qualität war mir damals nicht so deutlich wie heute mit 65.
Why so surprised at the year??...to me and many other older cats, it's just normal stuff we grew up with... don't know your age...but I've only encountered the younger generation being surprised at the year of this music...real instruments,played by real people with state of the art equipment of it's day...sounds best on vintage stereo equipment it was designed for during that era😊😊
Can were fucking mutants from the 13th dimension!!! Damo shouting like a madman, Jaki’s utterly visceral beats, etc, quite literally out of this fucking world!
I was in a car with friends, we drove as long as the Can tape last. Stone as ........ Enter southNorway in the morning, and no one know where we was.....!
I like the way everything swirls around, sometimes like a meandering river, sometimes like a blistering hurricane, but all the time there is that solid 4/4 on th hi-hat grounds everything like an electrical earth. Then everything builds up to the greatest crescendo in popular music - and we're back to Jaki's atomic clock!! Abolutely mental how good CAN were. Legends!
Definitely a swirly song. I was 16 on ego-deathing on gel tabs and definitely noticed it. I don't know anything about music theory but when you're so gone you BECOME the music you can definitely tell what's got "it" and what doesn't. This track has got "it" in spades.
Only one member of the band still alive now, they gave such weird joy to so many people, thanks guys RIP only Irmin Schmidt ( Keyboardist ). I was wrong Damo Suzuki ( vocals) is also alive, silly me.
It's 2022 and Can played this 51 years ago. Awesome. ❤😊 Beyond art jazz, post punk, art wave,hip hop, whatever Can is, they are very original and absolutely fantastic!
I'm still here a month later, this music has kept me hostage with its grooves, and I find I slide across the floor nowadays. I've forgot how to walk normally.
Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern, 40 Jahre her, in leicht verrauchten Clubs, dieses Schlagzeug hat einen so in den Kopf gehämmert.......... Immer noch extrem gute Musik.
This might truly be the absolute fucking greatest rock song EVER. I could listen to this and nothing else for the rest of my days and I wouldn't be upset in the slightest. I mean wtf, how do you top that beat the drummer is throwing down? That shit is pure fire. 🔥👍🏽
Questo gruppo era formidabile,completamente fuori dagli schemi del classico rock ,completamente libero di inventarsi nuovi e originali stilemi,pura creativita'
RIP I got to see him play live in Los Angeles in the early 2000s and he turned around and took a photo of the audience and I could see myself in it. CAN best to ever do it.
A tribe called quest sampled this epic cut of Krautrock lore. I HAVE GOTTEN IN MANY ARGUMENTS with fools about THE CAN being the perfecters of all rhythms. These kings of the absurd pre trance grooves, and LARK behold a Jazzy field of musical poppies!
Ten seconds in and its like: 'this is a track I will be playing for the rest of my life- daily if possible'. Reckon Shaun Ryder felt the same way- sounds like Happy Mondays stretched out a career from this musical mothership.
Exactly. I’m a big Monday’s fan and just heard CAN this past year thanks to The immensely talented Joy Dwyer of The Osees giving credit where credits due. It’s pretty clear that Tina, Jerry, David, and Chris of Talking Heads took some huge liberties without tipping their collective hats. It’s safe to say that CAN opened the doors for many “influential” acts.
@@genderconfusedalien9073 if the band was confident enough in a song to sacrifice the space that another 4 or 5 songs could've taken up then its probably gonna be great

Tago Mago is the second studio album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released as a double LP in August 1971 on the United Artists label. It was the band's first album to feature Damo Suzuki after the 1970 departure of previous vocalist Malcolm Mooney.[5] Recorded in a rented castle near Cologne, the album features long-form experimental tracks blending funk rhythms, avant-garde noise, jazz improvisation, and electronic tape editing techniques. Tago Mago has been described as Can's best and most extreme record in sound and structure.[6] The album has received much critical acclaim since its release and has been cited as an influence by various artists. Drowned in Sound called it "arguably the most influential rock album ever recorded."[7] -- from Wikipedia
18 and a half minutes long and it's not long enough, if you ask me. This is the most faithful musical reproduction of losing your mind then regaining your bearings I've heard. Conceptually similar to what LSD does to you - temporary insanity, loss of faculty, unhinging from reality. No surprise that Tago Mago and LSD mix so perfectly.
Rest in peace, Damo. You may be gone from this world physically, but you'll live on forever spiritually through this wonderful music! Searching for my brother!

You listen to this, take the headphones off and the drums just keep going 😎
Yessss!! It’s true
ive been told
What keeps freaking me out about this is that it's from 1971! Let me say that again.......1971 !!!
...and I was born in Oct. that year, and this still sounds like music of the future!!!
This was "smoking or acid" music in '71.
Damn, I missed it by about 4 years.

Mark Hollis's favourite band and album. RIP Mark
Didn't know that! Makes sense, given the more experimental route he took with Talk Talk. Also, "It's My Life" is one of the best pop songs EVER.
Laughing Stock and Tago Mago are my two favourite albums so this fact is blowing my mind! I hadn't even considered Can to be an influence on Talk Talk
Less than 90 seconds in, and I already think this is one of the greatest tracks ever recorded.
Is it ever eh! >:-D
Agree it turned my head and missed a bus luckily 👍
It's 2022 and Can played this 51 years ago. Awesome. ❤😊
Beyond art jazz, post punk, art wave,hip hop,
whatever Can is, they are very original and absolutely fantastic!
AGREED!!
the drumming alone makes it worth listening..
Thanks for your input.
Listening to this makes you immune to Coronavirus
Saw these in 70s at either Imperial or LSE. These were absolutely made for acid. One of greatest nights ever and I cannot explain why???
I'm still here a month later, this music has kept me hostage with its grooves, and I find I slide across the floor nowadays. I've forgot how to walk normally.
That drumming...
Jaki is the best drummer of all time sorry I don't make the rules
Those of us who appreciated this back when welcome all you newbies.... pass the groove on
I do appreciate CAN now, thank you so much. Damo lives on! /../
Hearing these guys for the first time in 2022. Amazing stuff- some of the best grooves I've ever heard. Absolutely far ahead of their time.
Who else is listening to this in 2031?
This song is incredible. The drums and guitar??? Damn
Nog steeds actueel deze muziek uit de 60er jaren, onovertroffen, hypnotiserende psychedeliese muziek, petje af.

Me too!
I just laid back with my headphones on and got completely lost in this song.
What an amazing band.
It might be Hats Off to (Roy) Harper, but its Cans on For Can.
To hear this song after a regular rock'n'roll performance of any so called superstars is like leaving planet earth for eternity.

absolutely true ! !

Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern, 40 Jahre her, in leicht verrauchten Clubs, dieses Schlagzeug hat einen so in den Kopf gehämmert.......... Immer noch extrem gute Musik.
Can we please put this as high as other 70s classics like dark side or king crimson. Just as good if not better.
