So when I started doing the dive into the 70's music I told you that I would be looking at bands I had heard of and bands I had not heard of. Can is one of those bands that falls into the latter part, I had never heard of these guys.
The first listen through of the album I could only say to myself "is this really from the 70's?". I am amazed at how this music could stand up with any of today's sounds and it would fit right in.
When I listen I could hear how many bands had to be influenced by this band and the music they were producing. You can hear how bands like "The Flaming Lips", "Radiohead", "The Mars Volta" and even "The Beastie Boys" had to be influenced by this band.
When you listen to the song called "Sing Swan Song" you would swear it was either a "Massive Attack" song or "Radiohead" with the way it is sung, and the sounds that are added give it a new sound. This song by the way is amazing it is probably the strongest on the album next to "Vitamin C" which is a spectacular listen. The rest of the album files a strong suit with only 7 songs and 2 of those going over 9 minutes long it is well worth the listen.
Some of the songs have a very "Beastie Boys - In Sound from the Way out" feel to them but that shows they have a strong the Jazz influence, with the ability to improvise.
Anyway as I ramble on we are wasting time..... go listen to this album. You will thank me for it..... No seriously you will thank me for it... I gotta go to the Can.
