That's because it wasn't "Gommorah" that sounded like "Dizzy Dizzy" — upon revisiting my CD collection last night, I realized it was the last track on Unlimited Edition I was thinking about, "Ibis". If you take the keyboard sound off of it and add Michael Karoli's vocals and violin, it's virtually the exact same track — same beat, same staccato guitar licks, everything. Though it dates from Sept. '74, which seems a little late, it sounds as if it might be them finding their way into "Dizzy Dizzy"...

The dynamics sound similar.
If anything it sounds less processed than before - it's certainly less harsh and trebley than before.
My only gripe is there seems to be some kind of noise-reduction gate (or other noise reduection technique) which occasionaly gives a senation of "pumping".

Also, the vinyl remasters of the first four will be released with this batch of CDs... i mean, that's why i heard.

(though I wonder if they'll get to the oddities like "Turtle Have Short Legs" or any of the collections like Can Delay 1968)

Tim has them on cassette. Ooh. Quite the rebel! The audacity of owning Can on cassette! Or not...etc etc etc ad infinitum.
I hear a voice saying "just own them on all possible formats, then you CAN maybe get some sleep at night"

Well, Diggle was probably a krauthead too!

Well, for starters, Can are not a band anymore.
Won't argue against your "six month" hyperbole... except to say that I'm still going to be a sucker and get all the reissues on both formats. I'm to be pitied.
― donut debonair (donut), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link
Well, Diggle was probably a krauthead too!In fact it makes sense that it was one of his, since the more prolific Shelley might have scrupled at the cop. Maybe.
Anyone ever commented on the fact that "can" is the Turkish word for "soul" and maybe Holger has been holding out on the secret meaning of the name all this time?

It was commented on by Irmin Schmidt (I think) and, anyway, I thought it was Malcolm Mooney who named the band, and named them as The Can to boot.

I went to half.com and their top recommendation to me was a used copy of Tago Mago for $128.09. At first I thought the Can catalog had gone out of print again, but it just looks like they gave up on SACD hybrids. Are the new versions the same, minus the SACD layer?
― drench, Sunday, 17 February 2008 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
(OK, ignore my other can thread revive.)
budget-priced cd rereleases are coming out soon. still cheaper on amazonmp3. Dunno what differences there are.

― abanana, Sunday, 17 February 2008 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link
There doesn't seem to be any difference whatsoever--seems like they just decided to drop the price on Tago Mago & Ege Bamyasi, maybe as a limited-time promotion...
― Craig D., Monday, 18 February 2008 02:01 (sixteen years ago) link
(Mute dropped the price, that is, not any particular retailer)
It looks like the new ones aren't hybrid SACD's.
