Progressive rock Pioneers CAN were in a class all their own ! No one ever really sounded like them nor approached music like these guys. I am a huge fan of Germany's CAN and think that their early albums are all absolutely essential to own in your collection.
I will admit that CAN are a bit off the beat and track and definitely quirky at the best of times and not always an easy listen , but in the sheer depths you will find it's rewards and treasures........you just need to really hear them.
No question they are an acquired taste but once you really open the CAN you wont look back.
Considering this is an unreleased compilation album I dont think anything here is filler. I also cant believe this stuff wasnt released back in the day as i am sure it would have been a fan favourite as was Ege Bamyasi and their debut album!
I have picked up most of CAN's Hybrid SACD releases on Spoon Records as the sound is just so good. They did a fantastic job on these discs and you need to find these versions to really get the most form these strangely progressive gems.
