Who the heck wrote "Tango Whiskyman?" It had to have been written in some way - the chord progression is kind of complicated.
― timellison, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:26 (seven years ago) link
There, there by Radiohead sort of steals/is influenced from both Tango Whiskeymam and Thief btw.

I love it. I danced to an amazing set by Jeff Mills last weekend and when I drove back home played Future Days. "Spray" felt like a Jeff Mills set condensed to 8,5 minutes.

"The Thief" can make me cry, too. The apex of Karoli's melancholy guitar tone.

It was the first Can album I bought too, though it wasn't the first time I'd heard them, but, yes, this track threw me a bit! WTF is going on, a sort of upside down reggae beat with wibbly wobbly bass and gypsy violin.
― Aw naw, no' Annoni oan an' aw noo (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 22:32 (seven years ago) link
Is "Dizzy Dizzy" the only Can that swings?
― Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 22:33 (seven years ago) link
'Father cannot yell" *is* swing!
― Mark G, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 22:36 (seven years ago) link
I really love Thief and had it pretty high. Spray is probably the weakest on Future Days but still fantastic. I love the end of Tango Whiskeyman but it just missed my ballot.

also not my #1, but if I really think about it, maybe the track that impacted me most of any Can (along with Chain Reaction, which I'm assuming is still ahead). This hit me right in the head/heart, in the same way that Debussy and Messiaen did -- total, magic impressionism, except instead of oceans or clouds, its the dusty toe-prints of angels on the moon. Not sure I've heard a rock band as delicate or mystical as on Quantum Physics.

^this, pretty much. If Chain Reaction/Quantum Phys. had been counted as one track, that would have been my No. 1.

As I said on the other thread, I had Spray pretty high. Jaki swings the shit out of the opening section and Irmin is doing some cool cluster (tiny c) stuff on the organ. Then Michael or Irmin plays some great spring reverb sounds on the second part while the beat changes and that descending guitar line enters. I usually think of this as an instrumental even tho Damo is great on this.

sing swan song is my favorite of their slower / melancholy numbers.
