CAN....S and D?

Anyone else think "Inner Space" is under-rated? I'm not sure it's up there with the canonical records, but it's close IMO.

first time I've heard the recorded version of this track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxFYCE6VIt4&feature=related

delay is ok... "the thief" is a banger

Is Cannibalism worth bothering with? The remix of Yoo Doo Right sounds like warmed-over trip hop to me...

you mean Sacriliege? the Cannabalism albums are just compilations

Cannibalism 2 has a few of my fave Can moments (the crazy/fun Mother Upduff is supposedly a true story; Turtles Have Short Legs one of damo's best vocals; Shikiku Maru Ten also excellent wierdness)
the first Cannibalism is less essential if you already have the early Can records but there's a few different mixes iirc.
and yeah, Sacrilege had a couple pieces i liked but i only recall the Sonic youth one right now....

cannibalism ii's just such a great listen - it's edited together so well, the first clutch of songs p much sync up & match jaki's drums up iirc.

I never tried Cannibalism 1 since I have all the albums, plus I hate how "Yoo Doo Right" is the only full length piece there. Cannibalism 2 seems good but if you have Radio Waves and Unlimited Edition then it's kinda superfluous. Cannibalism 3 is a collection of solo material and it's actually pretty entertaining (though disappointing if you're expecting a lot of great instrumental stuff). As for the remix collection, I really thought it was a big wasted opportunity, you'll probably wind up liking 1-2 of the remixes and find the others a waste of time

Ah yes, sorry, I do mean Sacrilege. It's the 3p mix of Yoo Doo Right that didn't sound too great to me, some of the other remixers might do a better job though.

tbh that Yoo Doo Right mix was really the only thing on there I liked, so yeah. the other remixers don't do a great job either

I liked Bruce Gilbert's mix for being barking mad, the rest, as someone said, is "not my tea"

I need to check out Cannibalism 2

the eponymous album has more than a couple of good moments

lol rev introduced me in the outloud room to the awesomeness that is "Aspectacle"

I like the edits on Cannibalism 1 when I'm in the mood for a peak-period Can mixtape. Sometimes I only need 8 minutes of Halleluwah!

yeah I'm not on board with all those who say it got "ruined" with an edit. it's not like it's "Close to the Edge" or "Supper's Ready" or anything! still, no idea why "Yoo Doo Right" survives intact

I got so used to the shorter "Mother Sky", the proper one seemed un-naturally elongated in places (i.e. bits obviously repeated)

yeh i knew Cannibalism first, the longer versions seemed weird when i finally heard them. and the longer versions are already edits of much longer jams!

that said, "halleluwah" definitely kicks it in its 18 minute version
"augmn" could be shorter though

has there been any discussion about the supposed box set anywhere?

this sounds pretty rad

from Can: The Lost Tapes

ha, it sounds like the music for "Italian Spiderman" - guessing that's a super-early cut?

super excited about this release. let's hope the next step is a decent sounding live recording!!

yeah it def has an earlier feel.
don't have to wait for a decent sounding live recording -- check this one: http://ow.ly/9XyYa

i'll have to grab that when i get home. i love the idea of live Can but that Live Box and the new Tago Mago bonus tracks just have so much tape hiss; could probably compress them to 64 kbps and not hear a difference

thanks tyler will grab that, there were some great boots on mutant sounds a year or two ago too

yeahhh, i think i got some of those - Future Days Past Nights? The 1973 show might not blow your mind in terms of sound quality (it's pretty good), but the performance is otherworldly.

thaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooooou

the one boot called Free Concert has Doko Daie Concert (excerpt) on it which is pretty great

yeah Free Concert is amazing.
here's another good one, not live, but a long tago mago outtake http://ow.ly/9XDnE

DAMN that is sweet!

Lol the first comment says "This reminds me of Radiohead"

I'm 100% fan-style flipping over this news. With the bands approach to recording and editing-for-release, I've always assumed there were reels and reels of material languishing--and had no expectation we'd ever hear any of it. So a 3CD boxed set--oh man, I may soon be literally counting down the days.

^^^ otm

this made me so happy

Thanks for all these bootleg recommendations, I'm really loving Free Concert and the Past Days

check out Great Britain 1977 too if you haven't heard it yet, the sound quality is p great

"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.

Long version of Doko E

Errr I kinda regret posting that one ... was excited at the prospect of a long unreleased tune

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

OMG this is exactly the kind of thing I hoped would be on this.
JAMMING+MALCOLM!

just picked up Paris a week ago and that definitely hit the sweet spot.

I realized I haven't listened to it so far, so I have it on now

Is this a double album? The bootleg of this gig lasts 78 minutes.

... or do we have another Cuxhaven on our hands?

I suspect that will be the case yes, only the 1st four tracks. 4th track of the boot = Dizzy Dizzy = 4th track here as well.

So probably going to miss the last 3 tracks (sunshine, I want more, kami kazi attempt)

Wish I knew what drove the decision to cut some of these down, I'm not sure I understand the arbitrary choices to shave some down.

total madness

could be something with the boots themselves - I don't think this is sourced from the same recording. the drums sound quite different to me, as though this bootlegger got a lot closer. could also be something with the vinyl release, like maybe they didn't have the capacity to do a double, though maybe not because the Brighton release probably didn't need to be a triple...its 90 minutes but they could've easily cut out some of the second half where it's just dead space between sets. curious how the next one will be handled, if indeed that is the Fizz recording they should just use the version that was played on the radio, since it was recorded really well.

it is pretty maddening though, I don't really need another version of "Dizzy Dizzy" but would love "Sunshine Day and Night", one of my favorite tracks of the Rosko/Reebop era
