If the question about the full Rockpalast Archives show being circulated before hasn't been answered before it looks like there is a series of old Rockpalast related shows being broadcast on German tv. THat's where the Kraftwerk set that recently appeared came from and from the same original series. Not sure if this relates to the popularity of the Beat Club related material which has been appearing over the last few years as the Lost Broadcasts or not. & I'm assuming they're shows from rival tv stations.But so great to see things appearing from then taht have lain dormant and unknown for 40+ years. THey are also broadcasting some US band stuff recorded for the same show. I've seen a Santana set mentioned. There's more on that at this link, http://www.wdr.de/tv/rockpalast/sendungsbeitraege/2013/from_the_archives/index.jsp

Liebezeit has done quite a few albums with Burnt Friedman (Secret Rhythms). And just two weeks ago this was released on which he plays on two tracks.

Shame "Mother Sky" sounds so terrible.

don't sleep on the Pluramon albums either, although they are from around 15 years ago

maybe Ginger Baker was in a similar ball park when it comes to Jaki comparators? A jazz drummer playing in a rock band (though "rock" is stretching it a bit for Can obviously)? Both fantastic drummers too, of course!

Soundtracks had barely come out when this concert was filmed. I wonder how many of these kids had heard Damo before. Were there Mooney partisans in 1970?
― jmm, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 22:10 (twelve years ago)
yeah jaki's stuff with burnt friedman is great!!
― brimstead, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 02:28 (twelve years ago)
As far as Jaki's other projects, Spielweise Zwei by B.I.L.L. works nicely for me. Released in 2010 on Klangbad. The teaser doesn't do it justice but it's a starting point:

that last song sounds pretty awesome, not sure about the first two

all those people in the audience will now be between 60 and 70. weird, somehow.
I feel like Can has suddenly become contemporary, a basic model for a combo, rather than the "progenitor" status they've occupied for forty years. Similar to what happened to Velvet Underground circa 1984, Mission of Burma circa 1994 or Gang of Four circa 2001.
Most of those 65 year old audience members would still be as blank-faced seeing the gig now, but their grandkids wouldn't.
― Yarl Kastremski (bendy), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 16:52 (twelve years ago)
Much younger than the band of course (well the three that are left). Jaki did indeed come out of free jazz, playing with Manfred Schoof, Alex von Schlippenbach (played alongside Guru Guru's Mani Neumeier on one of the Globe Unity Orchestra albums), Gerd Dudek et al. Good stuff too.

couple of CAN related questions:
will someone please give me a usable (not comedy) descriptor for music inspired by can that is not "krautrock"? this is sort of the opposite of precursors, but do you think there is a modern school of drummers who are influenced by jaki's drumming style?
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 11 December 2015 00:39 (ten years ago)
i know kosmische and motorik but that is not what i am looking foris there another word?
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 11 December 2015 00:40 (ten years ago)
julian cope uses "free rock", i think
― lute bro (brimstead), Friday, 11 December 2015 00:45 (ten years ago)
oh but that's for can and not so much stuff that was inspired by can
― lute bro (brimstead), Friday, 11 December 2015 00:46 (ten years ago)
To me the salient traits of can are
Steady and strict on the bottom
Anything goes on the top
No egos allowed on either stratum
Idk a good descriptor for them that evokes that balance
― banned on ixlor (Jon not Jon), Friday, 11 December 2015 00:52 (ten years ago)
i know, neither do i! free rock isn't bad, will consider it
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 11 December 2015 00:58 (ten years ago)
Free rock makes me think of something like first ash ra tempel album
― banned on ixlor (Jon not Jon), Friday, 11 December 2015 01:03 (ten years ago)
I would call CAN's music purposeful and introspective. Totally useless as rock descriptors though. For me Liebezeit and Czukay were the nucleus of a beautiful atom, with a fuzz of orbitals reacting around it.

I realized I had heard the "Hiding My Nightingale" song on the famous "Motorway Mix" by Trish of Broadcast, but the rest of this is just pure primo Can doing instrumental jams

too much flute around for me personally. what's that other really early david johnson era recording they did? prehistoric future?

Holy shit! Never heard of him but man, that's a veteran trippers dream l.p.! Even on my tiny kindle speaker i can feel "it". I gotta get some shrooms and play this again. On the big speakers though. Nice one as usual, Scott!

it wasn't nothing but less than half of what i would have had to pay online for just a regular old VG+ copy. such a nice thing to be the first person to play an album like that. just amazing production.
― scott seward, Monday, 22 January 2018 02:24 (eight years ago)
most copies for sale online are from germany and they want 80+. which means its not even that easy to find in germany.

Thank you Calstars!!
― VyrnaKnowlIsAHeadbanger, Monday, 22 January 2018 02:27 (eight years ago)
definitely something worth reissuing officially. there was a bootleg of it on LP and that's it.
