The 'Cannibalism' comp has all of 'Monster Movie' except 'Mary', so this poll is already better.

(Same goes for the 'Anthology', which is where I started with Can. Actually, that's not true we all started with 'I want more' obvb.

'The Lost Tapes' is gonna win with regard to track counts, clearly.

Just catching up (I was out of town yesterday and today) and loving the results so far. That #1 vote yesterday for "Empress and the Ukraine King" was from me -- my introduction to the band about 20 years ago on a great mixtape from a friend.

Happy to see "Outside My Door," "Uphill" and "Come Sta, La Luna" all place.

I did anticipate "Uphill" placing higher, though - such a great groove.

"Come Sta, La Luna" is something I came to appreciate more and more by playing the Babaluma LP as I was falling asleep... It took me a while to get into the post-Damo Can, but that album feels like a companion piece to Future Days.

Don't turn the light off leave me alone, soooooo good

Shame I am missing this roll-out due to apparent complete opposite work/sleep times, but great images, love seeing it. Also, ' Come Sta, La Luna' is ace.

Motherfunker! Yesterday I was working on the banners for today and suddenly my screen went black, apparently my macbook is 2011 and they have a critical error with the graphics card that fucks everything up. Been able to save the files but no idea when I'll get it working again... even thinking about buying a new one but I'm so mad right now.

Rollout might have to be postponed until next week :/ terribly sorry to leave you hanging.

oh that sucks! Sorry you have to go through that, results can definitely wait

Oh no!!!!

Cliffhanger!

leave it up to CAN to place an uncomfortably long pause in the middle of something
your computer otm!

lol

lol I actually could save numbers 30, 29 and 28. And I have the top 10 too but I'm not posting those yet hehehe. Here they go. Last batch until new notice. sorry guys.

Kind of an unintentional Noah's Ark story between these three.

"splash" was my no. 1, incredible jazz fusion vortex

"animal waves" also the jam

Glad to see "She Brings the Rain," in which Malcolm Mooney does his best Jim Morrison

Ah yes! It does sound like a distant cousin 'the spy' by the doors.

Moka that's awful - so sorry. Did you know that Apple will replace your motherboard etc. for this very issue? It's a free repair programme and lasts to the end of this year for 2011 machines.

Yeah I already left it with them, it's a hardware error on their part. Free fix however two weeks without computer :/

I have the files I'll see if I can get someone to lend me theirs.

Damn. My grad student had the same problem and they fixed his in 24 hours. Good luck!

What? Only 24hs? Damn you first world.

This is freakin Tasmania, too - not exactly a global hub.

Minor shout-out to Kendra Smith's cover of #30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsvjG5A0EJI

Awesome free fix! Too bad this didn't exist when my 2011 macbook did the same exact thing two years ago >:|

Whoa, "Animal Waves" is awesome!

Week One of wait

To sate those in the interim, the Eno/More Dark Than Shark Twitter feed has all kinds of great Can rarities linked – sessions, live concerts, outtakes, etc. Highly recommended. Here's one:

My mother bought a macbook air like a year ago and she doesn't use it at all so I'm borrowing it until mine comes back. I might be able to post the rest this week after all, I just need to pirate photoshop since I left my original copy in mexico city. Don't tell the feds.

Seems like an appropriate time to post this. Apparently Jaki played this solo impromptu to fill time during a power blackout. It's actually from 1976.

TIE 26. Turtles have short legs. 193 points, 10 voted

And we're back.

Huzzah! Don't know why didn't vote Turtles. Holger sounds like he's playing a giant rubber band on Vernal Equinox.

always liked Turtles, think it has the same beat as Halleluwah

YES

Well spotted.

Hadn't heard Turtles before now, which is shocking to me because my favorite Can mode is avant-pop.

It's pretty great

I find "turtles" so charming, I love how atipically daft and playful the band sounds toy piano and all... I'm guessing they're making fun of the british invasion? Even Damo's japanese-english accent seems willfuly exaggerated.

Even when it's somewhat cute the bass and drums make it sound monstrously huge and they can't seem to put the proggy influence down as the track progresses. I love it, it has gradually become one of my top 10 Can's songs even if it doesn't really represent them.

And yes the b-side was Halleluhwah so I think the beat is not accidental. It seems slightly different but it's the same base.

...which is the same as Vitamin C just slowed down.

Go here (~2mins) and adjust speed to 1.25x:

Oh wow! That one is new to me!

They could have used that same beat for a full album and I wouldn't mind.

vernal equinox is basically a huge pile of guitar and i love it

that can riddim

Yay "Turtles Have Short Legs"!
