"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.

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

kinda pricey though!

― bit.ly sno cone maker (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
yeah a little bit pricey. i assume there'll be places selling it for cheaper tho. amazon only has an "import" available for pre-order -- and that costs $75!
― tylerw, Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
I'll be paying to download, I think. Assuming that option will be available to the US.

I will probably pay full price for the 3 cd set. I can't say no to Can. I bought all those remasters, made me fall in love with them all over again.

Did they ever release the box set of reissues? I was tempted, but decided to not pay attention to spare my wallet

> because ilx does not have enough Can threads
I've long believed the large number of Can threads partly due to the similar-threads filter being ineffective for a band named "Can"

serious question: was early can VU- descended, or was it indepedent parallel evolution?
(cuz generally ppl weren't VU influenced much prior to 72-3, and it impresses the fuck outta me if can got there first, this side of the atlantic)
― mark s, Monday, September 3, 2001 8:00 PM (10 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
I've always assumed it was a real VU influence. I will tend to continue that assumption even were Can to claim otherwise.

Holger:
What were Can's main influences from the world of rock, as opposed to classical and avant-garde?Everybody a little bit different. But mainly I would say the influence, for me, of the Beatles and Velvet Underground was most important. The Velvet Underground especially. They had something achieved which others didn't achieve. Even Jimi Hendrix didn't achieve that. One could have the opinion that this group is not able to play really properly right. They didn't get the right rhythm, they couldn't make a real tight rhythm. But the music was incredibly convincing. And this feeling made us encouraged, actually, to go on with rock music in general, instead of, let's say, making avant-garde academic music. Academic music was somehow finished by the audiences. Not by the musical idea itself. But we liked to do something without notation. We didn't want to read music off papers. We really tried to make instant compositions from the very beginning. This Can tradition actually achieved this very much when we played live.

super psyched on this lost tapes set. anyone know how limited it is?
i was going to pre-order for $55 (w/ shipping...); but do i feel like saving 15 bucks and chance-ing it in a store?

Pre-order it at any half-decent record shop and you'll be absolutely fine.
