OK, for me that's no problem at all, a large propotion of the music I buy has been DDD all the way until it hits wax, I just prefer the experience of vinyl.

Somewhere I read the vinyl will be out in late 2012...now I can't find where I read that. But I believe it was from Mute.

Roll on June 18th.
Said Schmidt of the material they found: “Obviously the tapes weren't really lost, but were left in the cupboards of the studio archives for so long everybody just forgot about them. Everybody except Hildegard, who watches over Can and its work like the dragon over the gold of the Nibelungen and doesn't allow forgetting.”

I like "Millionenspiel" a lot; it goes a lot of places in 5+ minutes. Especially like the spy guitar/bongos part that sounds like Can-goes-B52s. I've listened to that one three times, but the others aren't doing much for me tbh.

I hope so. A lot of labels have been putting out multi-disc box sets for really cheap as of late. I paid less than $20 for the 3-disc Bitch Magnet reissue set and just barely over $20 for the Feedtime 4-disc thing. Its a nice trend.

This is, I'd say, an essential Can artefact and is chock full of amazing stuff. Given that Can haven't had a notable release since I've actually been a fan - something that I'd presume holds true for most people using this board - this is like monumental stuff for me. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a song and dance about it. Good on them for putting out one large amount of stuff in one go rather than eking it out over a few years. The early version of Spoon and the live version of Spoon are especially magnificent.

Potentially of minor interest to Can fans, a remix of sorts I did of "Vitamin C" mixing it with Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain (Part II)" (and Alvin Lucier deep in the mix) a few years back:

Ha! Did anyone else get the email from Can with this in it?
Thanks for your support of Can this year, The Lost Tapes has been more enthusiastically received than we were expecting, we hoped a few people would be pleased that Irmin was persuaded to listen to the old Can tapes, it was beyond everyone's wildest dreams that so many people would love it and that it would get rated so highly in so many magazine end of year polls.
Anyway, we are writing to you as you bought The Lost Tapes from one of the Mute or Spoon sites, which gives us the opportunity to thank you directly, so thank you!
Along with the thank you we'd like to give you this track 'Fingers' by Cyclopean, an early Christmas present if you like.
I know, I know, I can hear you saying already "why are you giving me this track, you crass marketeers, this has nothing to do with Can", but actually, this is a brand new track from Irmin Schmidt and Jaki Liebezeit, it's a new project they have created with Burnt Friedman and Jono Podmore called Cyclopean.
Pronounced like this.
The four of them got together at Irmin's house in France in 2011 and Cyclopean was born.

Ok I listened to it. Starts out kinda Pure Moodsy/late (not great) PV, somewhat corny beats, it evolves into some quasi "ethnic drumming" and then it gets pretty groovy and then it's over. That's my expert review. Would listen again. I didn't dislike it.
I got the email this morning, like 15 min ago? It took me all of 15 seconds to post here after I got it because i wondered if anyone else had gotten it.
