CAN....S and D?

you mean Sacriliege? the Cannabalism albums are just compilations

Cannibalism 2 has a few of my fave Can moments (the crazy/fun Mother Upduff is supposedly a true story; Turtles Have Short Legs one of damo's best vocals; Shikiku Maru Ten also excellent wierdness)
the first Cannibalism is less essential if you already have the early Can records but there's a few different mixes iirc.
and yeah, Sacrilege had a couple pieces i liked but i only recall the Sonic youth one right now....

cannibalism ii's just such a great listen - it's edited together so well, the first clutch of songs p much sync up & match jaki's drums up iirc.

I never tried Cannibalism 1 since I have all the albums, plus I hate how "Yoo Doo Right" is the only full length piece there. Cannibalism 2 seems good but if you have Radio Waves and Unlimited Edition then it's kinda superfluous. Cannibalism 3 is a collection of solo material and it's actually pretty entertaining (though disappointing if you're expecting a lot of great instrumental stuff). As for the remix collection, I really thought it was a big wasted opportunity, you'll probably wind up liking 1-2 of the remixes and find the others a waste of time

Ah yes, sorry, I do mean Sacrilege. It's the 3p mix of Yoo Doo Right that didn't sound too great to me, some of the other remixers might do a better job though.

tbh that Yoo Doo Right mix was really the only thing on there I liked, so yeah. the other remixers don't do a great job either

I liked Bruce Gilbert's mix for being barking mad, the rest, as someone said, is "not my tea"

I need to check out Cannibalism 2

the eponymous album has more than a couple of good moments

lol rev introduced me in the outloud room to the awesomeness that is "Aspectacle"

I like the edits on Cannibalism 1 when I'm in the mood for a peak-period Can mixtape. Sometimes I only need 8 minutes of Halleluwah!

yeah I'm not on board with all those who say it got "ruined" with an edit. it's not like it's "Close to the Edge" or "Supper's Ready" or anything! still, no idea why "Yoo Doo Right" survives intact

I got so used to the shorter "Mother Sky", the proper one seemed un-naturally elongated in places (i.e. bits obviously repeated)

yeh i knew Cannibalism first, the longer versions seemed weird when i finally heard them. and the longer versions are already edits of much longer jams!

that said, "halleluwah" definitely kicks it in its 18 minute version
"augmn" could be shorter though

has there been any discussion about the supposed box set anywhere?

this sounds pretty rad

from Can: The Lost Tapes

ha, it sounds like the music for "Italian Spiderman" - guessing that's a super-early cut?

super excited about this release. let's hope the next step is a decent sounding live recording!!

yeah it def has an earlier feel.
don't have to wait for a decent sounding live recording -- check this one: http://ow.ly/9XyYa

i'll have to grab that when i get home. i love the idea of live Can but that Live Box and the new Tago Mago bonus tracks just have so much tape hiss; could probably compress them to 64 kbps and not hear a difference

thanks tyler will grab that, there were some great boots on mutant sounds a year or two ago too

yeahhh, i think i got some of those - Future Days Past Nights? The 1973 show might not blow your mind in terms of sound quality (it's pretty good), but the performance is otherworldly.

thaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooooou

the one boot called Free Concert has Doko Daie Concert (excerpt) on it which is pretty great

yeah Free Concert is amazing.
here's another good one, not live, but a long tago mago outtake http://ow.ly/9XDnE

DAMN that is sweet!

Lol the first comment says "This reminds me of Radiohead"

I'm 100% fan-style flipping over this news. With the bands approach to recording and editing-for-release, I've always assumed there were reels and reels of material languishing--and had no expectation we'd ever hear any of it. So a 3CD boxed set--oh man, I may soon be literally counting down the days.

^^^ otm

this made me so happy

Thanks for all these bootleg recommendations, I'm really loving Free Concert and the Past Days

check out Great Britain 1977 too if you haven't heard it yet, the sound quality is p great

"Millionspiel" is really fantastic, can't stop listening to it. Will it all be this good?
looks like the mutant sounds links are all good to go: http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/2007/12/its-raining-can-bootlegs.html

Is there an "Oh Yeah" on any available bootleg? I've only ever heard snippets in a documentary clip.

Long version of Doko E

Errr I kinda regret posting that one ... was excited at the prospect of a long unreleased tune

that Ogam Ogat release is pretty great. it really sucks that most of the live/archive material wasn't really well recorded, since a lot of it tears. can't wait to dig into some more

yeahhhh judging from these samples ... album of all the years!

deadly deadly deadly

people had been experimenting with tape collages for a while, Holger himself made the Canaxis LP in 1968 with Rolf Dammers.
for me the first really successful one is Vladimir Ussachevsky's "Wireless Fantasy", blending electicity sounds with samples from shortwave radio broadcasts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOD_O5SfZHw

in the "pop" context, I've always though Silver Apples use on "Program" was incredibly ahead of it's time.

(xp) Holger did study with Stockhausen after all.

John Cage made pieces incorporating live radio in 1956: https://simpleharmonicmotion.org/john-cages-radio-music/

I wonder how heavy that wire recorder was that Halim El-Dabh was lugging around Cairo in the 1940s, I've never seen a picture of it
