Can are an amazing band. My 3rd favourite Krautrock band.

And your first two?

Neu! and Faust of course!

Harmonia are absolutely awesome. A sort of supergroup with members of Neu! and Cluster. Brian Eno played with them for a while too:

Whoa my favourite Krautrock artist and my 2nd favourite Ambient artist made an album together?
I wish I could get my hands on this ;)
Please.

I have this album Musik Von Harmonia from 1974. I got it specifically because of the members of Neu! I wanted to hear what their music will sound like paired with an even more motoric Cluster. And I wasn't disappointed, on the contrary. (James, do you want a PM?)

I sent it to him, he just didn't say thanks :(

Can (band)
 

I had not heard of them before. The sound quite tickled my fancy. You guys in the know? Cool to hear music be timeless, due to it's relevant sound today...even though it was recorded in the early 70s!

Can is one of my favorite rock bands. "Vitamin C" is definitely really cool and fresh. A zillion other people will agree that you should also check out the entirety of their first five or so records. A lot of abstract longer jam pieces but these guys are good at never droning on into wankery. Definitely gems of the krautrock movement.

I only "discovered" Can about a month ago, but man are they cool! Usually bands that center around long jam pieces bore me, but I haven't felt that way at all while listening to Can. Always interesting, always hypnotic. Have to digest all their work, but Tago Mago is pretty darn great and Monster Movie is very enjoyable.

Listen to The Damo Suzuki trilogy, and then check out their previous albums. What I like about Can is the fact that the band members interact through music. At least, that's how it feels, the music doesn't feel composed and laid out at all. When Jaki Liebezeit wants to pound out his drums for a while, the others are happy to let him do that, and when Karoli wants to noodle on his guitar, sure. Listen to Halleluhwah. That. ****ing. Song.

isn't there already a Can thread?

i've put most of my thoughts on them there

Where is your thread?

Can is like nothing else
