Can ‎– Soundtracks
Liberty ‎– LBS 83 437 I GERMANY 1970
Can did a lot of soundtrack work, for both film and television, so “Soundtracks” cherry picks the highlights and arranges them in a very intelligent tracklist.
However, the real killing blow for “Soundtracks” is how it all ends. “Mother Sky” recorded in July 1970 for the soundtrack of Jerzy Skolimowski's film Deep End is fourteen and a half minutes of utter devastation. Probably the most scorched, searching guitar work Karoli ever released. Here sounds like he is unpicking the skies with his fingers. Underneath that, Holger and Jaki fuse into an inhuman rhythm machine playing some secret, primal, snapping, tribal stomp. When Jaki begins unleashing drum rolls, it is physically impossible not to move in some way. The whole rhythm insinuates its way into your body and takes over in a manner that would be frightening if it wasn’t so pleasurable. Damo sings softly over the top finding exactly the right words to articulate what is going on, like some gentle shaman. Irmin, sneaks in
making his keyboards sound like electric shocks. It is a musical bomb.
The picture is from the original Liberty's promotional poster for Soundtracks,and was used at the back cover of the original record too. A German original copy is rare and sought after nowadays.

This song is nearly 53 years old. And it is still such insanely good music!

This is no drum computer
It' s Jacki Liebezeit
What a timing monster.

I was friends with Manni Löhe, and went out with Holger for a drink. It was platonic, but I saw his lovely flat in Cologne. It was 1968.

Jaki Liebezeit may be the most underrated drummer in rock history.

Se fue uno de los más grandes artistas y pioneros del Krautrock. Hoy es un día de luto para todas las vertientes progresivas, psicodélicas y experimentales del rock; una gran pérdida para toda una generación filosófica del Krautrock.
R.I.P. Damo Suzuki. 😢

"The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass...and then you see it. White shores. And beyond...a far green country under a swift sunrise." RIP Damo 🙏

Сумасшедшая вещь и все это сыграно людьми на живых инструментах, но барабанщик точно не человек - 12 минут так долбать и не сбиться ни разу, человек так не способен.

An absolute world of music in one track. Most bands don't have this many ideas in their entire career...

I'm embarrassed that I never heard of this band until 13 minutes ago. And I grew up in that era. Now I'm obsessed.

Discovering CAN was like finding a winning lotto ticket. I am so much richer now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This music is like opening a doorway to another dimension. That's what makes them so damn brilliant.
