same year, basically the same cover, will I drop $50 on it? I dunno probably. it has Sechs and Sieben on it!!!

frogbs, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:00 (two years ago) link

Ugh I refreshed the bandcamp like 3 times hoping there was a preview track and that it just wasn’t loading for me

zacata, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:01 (two years ago) link

xp: Sechs und Sieben.

peace, man, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:02 (two years ago) link

Nevermind I now see the excerpt above. I wonder if this was recorded by the same guy as the first one…has a very similar sound quality.

zacata, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:03 (two years ago) link

I think everything in this series was recorded by the same guy

frogbs, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:07 (two years ago) link

I bet they'll do a box set once everyone has bought all the individual releases - I'm holding out :D

StanM, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:18 (two years ago) link

So is this show the one that these two songs from Live Music (1971-1977) came from?

"Dizzy Dizzy" – 8:02
19th Nov 1975, Brighton, Sussex University
"Vernal Equinox" – 12:44
19th Nov 1975, Brighton, Sussex University

O SHIT

Hope there's some Damo stuff coming down the pike, but also love that this zone of perfect rapport between the core members is getting so much richer.

I like that they're doing post-Damo stuff first, because my knowledge of post-Damo can is pretty meager.

but also fuck you (unperson), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 20:15 (two years ago) link

IIRC the main archive they're drawing on is a dude who made tapes mostly in the post-Damo years, so that's something to keep in mind.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 20:19 (two years ago) link

A lot of the live Can post damo ive heard has sounded better than the studio versions, so that makes it all the more exciting imo

Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 20:23 (two years ago) link

yeah, all this post-74 live stuff rules

unperson: Landed, Unlimited Edition, and Flow Motion are all really good!

sleeve, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 20:25 (two years ago) link

Indeed, and those albums are my cut-off point.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 20:30 (two years ago) link

They were playing Ege Bamyasi at REI in Portland today. It ruled

Live and studio Can were very much different things by then, by design I'd say. The band were great live in this period but tbh I've heard much better quality recordings - soundwise - than this.

Saw Delight and Inner Space are quite good as well. Out of Reach is the only out and out dud they've ever made, in my opinion

well I guess the reunion album too, though that one is at least pretty funny

frogbs, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 21:01 (two years ago) link

i think when we did the can poll i fell in love with every can record except out of reach? rite time sounds cursed but i kinda like that

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 21:13 (two years ago) link

the single edit of "Hoolah Hoolah" which samples "Spoon" is hilarious

what can I say, I have soft spot for it somehow. it's really a bizarre record

frogbs, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 21:15 (two years ago) link

Inner Space is one I don't have, I need to check it out.

That's "Can"? The last album? 'Tis good!

Starmer: "Let the children boogie, let all the children boogie." (Tom D.), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 22:01 (two years ago) link

I love Saw Delight and Inner Space (and all the ones before too)

Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 22:02 (two years ago) link

hard to think of another band that changed their sound so many times within a single decade. maybe Yellow Magic Orchestra

frogbs, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 22:12 (two years ago) link

All Gates Open one of my fave Can songs.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 22:50 (two years ago) link

amazing tune, sounds like a cosmic beer hall

Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 23:23 (two years ago) link

one month passes...

I assume, by now, we've all seen the clip of Can playing "I Want More" on Top of the Pops - the one where Michael Karoli has been replaced by some guy who looks like Lou Reed, which is unfortunate as Karoli was the only member of Can who could conceivably pass for a pop star. Well, here's a clip of them playing it, with Karoli, with added bonus of some hilarious German comedy.

!!!!! thank you

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Sunday, 28 November 2021 14:41 (two years ago) link

All Gates Open one of my fave Can songs.

Agreed – the guitar/keyboard refrain on the chorus is delightful.

A friend of mine owned the S/T record when we were teenagers and I was surprised by how great this was (and the record has more moments than its reputation suggests). The drop-off from most of the other post-Damo records, ie Landed/Flow Motion/Saw Delight, is negligible IMO. They’re much more of a piece in retrospect.

Naive Teen Idol, Sunday, 28 November 2021 15:58 (two years ago) link

"Soon Over Babaluma" is post-Damo, definitely no drop-off there.

When Smeato Met Moaty (Tom D.), Sunday, 28 November 2021 17:01 (two years ago) link

Gee “I Want More” sounds like an influence on Talking Heads’ “I Zimbra” to me.

assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 28 November 2021 17:38 (two years ago) link

"Soon Over Babaluma" is post-Damo, definitely no drop-off there.

I left SoB off as it feels much more of the Future Days era than post-Damo – hence why I said “most.” But agreed.

Good call on “I Want More.”

Naive Teen Idol, Sunday, 28 November 2021 18:08 (two years ago) link

Great to see the Can/Inner Space album get recognized, for me it’s the best post-Babaluma record

There was a package with this and Out of Reach together which I think maybe convinced some people they were both crap

frogbs, Sunday, 28 November 2021 18:09 (two years ago) link

I don't think many people were interested in Can by 1979 tbh.

When Smeato Met Moaty (Tom D.), Sunday, 28 November 2021 18:15 (two years ago) link

Or by a new album by Can in 1979 rather.

When Smeato Met Moaty (Tom D.), Sunday, 28 November 2021 18:16 (two years ago) link

one time I listened to Soon Over Babaluma while totally zonked and had an epiphany that it was about making pasta

Dizzy Dizzy is gathering the ingredients, Come Sta is impatiently waiting for the water to heat up, Splash is when the bubbles start forming, Chain Reaction is when the water starts boiling like crazy, Quantum Mechanics is the moment you drop the spaghetti in

idk it made a lot of sense at the time

frogbs, Sunday, 28 November 2021 19:39 (two years ago) link

I like this interpretation

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:05 (two years ago) link

was listening to The Individualism of Gil Evans earlier and thinking how much it reminded me of Can, only no matter good how amazingly great a drummer Jaki was - he was no Elvin Jones!

calzino, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:24 (two years ago) link

I don’t think I’d heard “All Gates Open” before - thank you for that!

Listened from Eins to Vier this morning - it's another stellar release

willem, Friday, 3 December 2021 06:54 (two years ago) link
