Can
Monster Movie
It is, perhaps, ironic then that Can’s classic debut LP Monster Movie began their career on record desperately trying not to play the Velvet Underground’s “European Son”. But try as they did, still the album opener, “Father Cannot Yell”, would return again ané again to its roots, only to transcend similarities and shake out yet another classic song from the same form.
02
Can
Delay 1968
Can’s DELAY 1968 LP, released in 1982. These recordings were made just some just before, the MONSTER MOVIE sessions.
03
Can
Ege Bamyasi
I stood in my bedroom aged 15 ripping off the he’s pulling on the back of Ege Bamyasi. That pose and the Morrison shot on the front of Absolutely Live are still my favourite all-time images of rock’n’roll singers. tember 1970 saw the release of an interim album The Soundtracks* containing some old Malcolm Mooney but with a majority of recent Damo stuff.

Soundtracks

Can
Tago Mago
And with itude a mile high, they stormed into Schloss Norvenich now re-named Inner Space and, in three months, recordepic masterpiece Tago Mago. But even in 1970, Melody was saying, “If the Velvets play in a junkyard, the Can where more sinister still.”
06
Can
Future Days
And it really went off with Future Days, I think, it became too symphonic.”
