Where should one start with Can?

I know there's a few krautrock aficionados here and i've been meaning to check these guys out for a while. Advice?

the trio of tago mago/ege bamyasi/future days in that order should do the trick.

I'd probably put ege then tago. but yeah just absorb those 3 albums...you'll know if you like them or not.

fluxequalsrad · 07-20-2011, 01:11 AM

Ege has a really difficult first track though,

TAGO/EGE/FUTURE/MONSTERMOVIE

Does anyone have a link to Soundtracks?

Amazing band, and the 3 albums of the 'classic' period (tago mago/ege bamyasi/future days) is what first got me into them.

Sonic Johnny · 07-20-2011, 09:04 AM

Thanks y'all. Will get these and let you know how it goes.

I started with Tago Mago and I loved it. Not their easiest work but it's really good.

yeah, i listened to this again yesterday. starts and finishes awesome, but really meanders a bit in the middle.

slunken · 07-21-2011, 06:05 PM

i prefer the malcom mooney albums. monster movie and delay would be my picks. then tago mago with the other guy.

redbull · 07-22-2011, 08:05 PM

go in the following order:

Ege Bamyasi
Tago Mago
Monster Movie
Future Days
Soundtracks
Soon Over Babaluma
Delay 1968

the post 1974 material is not very good (Landed and Saw Delight are worth a listen though if you really like the band)

also, get the live album ASAP. by far the best thing they've ever released

redbull · 07-22-2011, 08:06 PM

I got monster movie out of hte library when I was in 7th grade because I liked the artwork. By far the best decision I have ever made

I like redbull line up.
Can´s output ages quite well compared to other krautrock bands. Brainticket and Amon Düül II are also pretty timeless.

Cant agree at all. I think Ege Bamyasi is the least accessible album. I still don't like it much.

I would say Tago Mago and Future Days first. Then Ege Bamyasi and then Soon Over Babaluma
