Funk, rock, jazz, various world music, it is all found on Tago Mago and that is where its success as an album comes from. It's aimless yet perfectly constructed combination of an eccentric blend of genres. If somebody heard Tago Mago out of the blue, I'm sure they would be able to tell it came from the '70s. Can's Tago Mago Finally, a brilliant exploration of the German rock band Can's 1971 album Tago Mago. This hugely unique and influential album deserves.
Can.. a band formed in Germany, led mostly by Japanese Damo Suzuki. I remember reading a story of how they'd meet Damo in Germany, I just have to say Damo may not have the voice that you're looking for, but he has the feelings. Songs 'Deadlock', 'Tango Whiskyman' and 'She brings the Rain' are my favorite. I'm holding on to 6 albums in my archive, please enjoy!
1969 - Monster Movie (4 tracks)
1971 - Tago Mago (7 tracks)
1973 - Future Days (4 tracks)
Band information:
Can was a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne, West Germany, in 1968. Later labeled as one of the firstkrautrock groups, they transcended mainstream influences and incorporated strong minimalist and world music elements into their often psychedelic music.Can constructed their music largely through collective spontaneous composition—which the band differentiated from improvisation in the jazz sense—sampling themselves in the studio and editing down the results; bassist/chief engineer Holger Czukay referred to Can's live and studio performances as 'instant compositions'. They had occasional commercial success, with singles such as 'Spoon' and 'I Want More' reaching national singles charts. Through albums such as Monster Movie (1969), Tago Mago (1971), Ege Bamyasi (1972) and Future Days (1973), the band exerted a considerable influence on avant-garde, experimental, underground, ambient, new wave and electronic music.
