WHAAAAT!!!! never thought my comment would appear on your video! thank you for listening to one of my favorite albums of all time!

Nothing like listening to a guy born in Japan, who lives in Germany, who sings in English. If you want another INCREDIBLE 70s prog album, I highly recommend Mirage by Camel

Yes, exactly this

Can is what is known as Krautrock. Which started as a derogatory term. But the German bands later embraced it. There is also a lot of electronic music in that genre. Kraftwerk in particular. You should check out some of their stuff.

Krautrock is the term that was coined in the UK and which then extensively spread across a lot of the English speaking world. Perhaps a more suitable descriptor would be kosmische musik, German for cosmic music.

The 1973 poll NEEDS Future Days in it. It's literally the greatest Can album IMO

Captain Beefheart!! maybe its a sign to react to his legendary album Trout Mask Replica...or Safe as Milk

Neu! ‘75 is a krautrock record that everyone needs to listen to at least once in their life

"Captain Beefheart and his magic band? What is that?" I guess it's time for you to listen to Trout Mask Replica now. That is an absolute experience of an album

Yes, Trout Mask Replica is one of the craziest albums ever…and from 1969! Even just the lyrics themselves…I mean a song with a line like this in it has to make for a legendary album….’A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and boulbous. got me!’..😂

All hail Jaki Liebezeit, a god amongst drummers.

I think people don't really acknowledge what Can's recording process was at this time. They basically recorded long improvisations over the course of three months, recording sometimes 16 hours in a day, using just three microphones and two two-track recorders. Then, Holger Czukay, the bass player who with keyboardist Irmin Schmidt had been a student of seminal German electronic musician Karlheinz Stockhausen, edited the tapes (plus other audio elements) into the final pieces. That's part of why the tempo changes dramatically in "Halleluhwah;" they simply weren't interested in doing conventional music. This was "rock," but it was experimental rock that was based on ideas pioneered by radical "classical" and electronic composition techniques as well as by radical politics.

If you like this, check out the Japanese band Boredoms, particularly Super AE or Vision Creation Newsun. Pop Tatari is also great but a different vibe.

if you do another CAN album both Ege Bamyasi and Future Days are both really good, Ege Bamyasi has more shorter and concise songs that are really solid and consistent imo, Future days has more of the longer songs that are really captivating and have a great atmosphere. both are fantastic albums though so you should definetely check them both out

Gonna keep requesting Songs: Ohia’s fantastic record “Magnolia Electric Co.” Fantastic album!!!

Based Smags with the CAN reaction!! 🙏 I knew this one would be a lot to take in, it definitely was for me when I heard it around your age. But I'm glad you appreciate it! It's cool you saw the head in the album cover. For the longest time I only saw a can with what looks like spaghettios in it lol later on I saw the head and brain and realized it was a double image. Love this album art. Mushroom is actually about an atomic bomb. The phrase I was born and I was dead referring to life flashing before your eyes. The following track opens up with the sound of an atomic bomb exploding too. I thought your 2001 reference in Aumgn was spot on also lol that movie came out in 68 and was a big inspiration for the art community at the time. The back half of this album gets especially crazy. But it always impresses me how experimental they were and the ideas they were willing to try. Especially for that time and the equipment available. Thanks again for doing this one and the community polls in general! 🙂 I hope we get to see you listen to Maggot Brain some time in the near future

You should do NEU! Next...

wanted to let you know that the singer on this album, damo suzuki, passed away only a couple months ago. fantastic album. make sure you place yes's close to the edge on your 1972 poll since it'll be one of the top picks. edit: a. the audio for bring me coffee or tea is muted, and b. when you ask who captain beefheart is at 31:51, you gotta look up trout mask replica when you get a chance.

Yo Can is sooooo good, glad you are checking them out!

I was listening to tago mago when you uploaded this

Smags, do you like femmes? Even if they are violent? Oh boy I have a great album for you - Violent Femmes' self titled. Gano (the lead singer) is one of the most unique vocalists to ever grace this planet. Also the song writing in this album is awesome. I feel like a lot of the lyrics are relatable in the lonely horny teenager kinda way. You'd love it. And yes I know I'm annoying but hey aren't we all? I love Can, by the way. Damo Suzuki passed away a few days ago, a tragedy. He made some of the best and most unique music I've ever heard. Tago Mago was a revelation to me

Man, your reactions are the best. I'm so glad to see classic experimental psychedelic albums here. I suggest you to listen to Live/Dead by Grateful Dead. It's the quintessencial late 60s acid rock album, mostly improvised, but still groovy as fuck. It will take you places, man. An incredible ride through your inner space. Peace, take care🤙

agreeing with anyone recommending future days

Aumgn is the most underrated track on this masterpiece imo. The ending of the track is so primal and raw. Like the band literally went back in time in the recording booth to participate in a war ritual If you want to get more into this genre, check out the bands Soft Machine and Faust. I‘ve been obsessed with krautrock style music ever since I first learned of it. I’ve slowly been accumulating a huge playlist on my channel of mainly 70s krautrock and prog music lol.

This is great to see! I hope you eventually get through the entire Tago Mago - Ege Bamyasi - Future Days -trilogy. Tago Mago is my least favourite of the three.

Please listen to relationship of command by at the drive in

NGL, I audibly laughed when I saw the title. It took me quite a while to understand this record's appeal. Future Days is certainly less "out there" and more groovy so that's what I'd suggest next.

I'd love to see you do "Burn Piano Island Burn" by "The Blood Brothers". It's noisy and chaotic as hell, but worth it.

Much newer but this reminds me of Beta Band's 3EP's, you might dig that as well

Fun thing Tago Mago is a little island near Ibiza, I wonder if they get inspired or created album there 😊 when Ibiza was one of hippie culture centres. I want to suggest you 666 of Aphrodite Child, you will appreciate it for sure 👍🏻 thanks as always ❤

26:26 me at the gibberish championships when my opponent is the guy from Can I warned you the second half of this album was gonna kill you but I’m glad you loved it lmao. A once in a lifetime experience for sure! (also please reupload the WL/WH reaction vid 🙏🏼)

If you want more really weird krautrock then you should check out Faust. They’re my favourite krautrock band and are highly thought of amongst fans of the genre. Their first album is very weird however “Faust IV” would be a great starting point for them.

my fav Krautrock group is Neu! I'll take Can though

Smags gotta do more king gizzard

Man... Tago Mago is really draining album. Good on you for diving right in. Should have eased into CAN with Ege imho. If you want the gorgous/beautiful end of creepy psych music I can't say enough good things about the band Broadcast. Crazy production and very pleasing to the ears. Noise made by people, HaHa sound or Tender Buttons would be albums to start with.

Everytime I listen my mind is imploded. Not exploded but imploded

Aumgn is creepy as hell at 4am in a dark room. Trust me.

A lot of older albums pan the bass off to the right or left and it drives me nuts. Black Sabbath does it on some stuff and the Ramones first album ugggh

Check out Deceit by This Heat

OH YEAH: first verse - backwards Second verse - English Third verse - Japanese

Listening to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes is one of the most amazing experiences one can have in it's lifetime 😊

LISTEN TO FUTURE DAYS NEXT i fucking love can and if you think tago mago is timeless, you will be mindblown by future days

Still waiting for that Parannoul - After the Night reaction 🙏

Future Days

Hmmmm, perhaps Tago Mago was a tad advanced for initiation into Krautrock. Can's first album Monster Movie may be more accessible. Next check out Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Rubycon. Next listen to Gong's You. Listen to Amon Duul's Yeti, Dance of The Lemmings and Wolf City for starters. Then move on to Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, A & R Machines and Harmonia.

first half of this is pure psychedelic bliss and second one is like one of the most fucked up, forward thinking piece of experimental music l've ever heard, perfect album imo, changed the way I perceive music, Future Days is my favorite tho
