That last part about Damo not liking the direction of the band kinda makes me wish I hadn't brought up this album and Tago Mago to him when briefly had a smoke with him in Glasgow. He called it "ancient history" - direct quote haha. Chill and insightful guy though! What a legend

the drumming on this is absolutely fantastic

CAN is such a fantastic band. This, Tago Mago, and Future Days has got to be one of my favorite album "trilogies"

I became a fan of can after hearing Vitamin C in the movie Inherent Vice. Great video mate.

I'm now on episode 3 of the essential series, haha. No - your channel, especially this series, changed my life.
For me the most 'dedicated' channel for youtube

Hey, I agree that the Damo Suzuki period was absolutely great, but we should not forget the two and a half Malcom Mooney albums. Monster Movie (their debut) is a very good record, especially "You Doo Right" and "Mary, Mary So Contrary". Then their actual debut album which they didn't release until 1981 which is called Delay. "The Thief" and "Butterfly" are my hightlights on that one. And Malcom was on two songs of their Soundtracks album. "Mother Sky" (with Damo) is one of CAN's best songs of all time.

Can't wait to listen to this for the first time soon. Ege Bamyasi. Will be my first Can album. then maybe Tago Mago/Future Days. love how the drumming sounds, so skillful. As a drummer myself. Funky rocking out.

Brilliant album. Jaki was a superb drummer.

I know you asked not to have too many comments about pronunciation, but there's only one I see here so far, so I thought I'd just clarify it. ;)

Turkish is actually quite easy for pronunciation, since letters are always pronounced 100% the same way (no different sounds for the same letter in different contexts), as such the "e"s are pronounced like the "e"s in 'eh', and the "a"s are pronounced like the "u" in "bum" or "up". As for the dotless "i", it's not really a sound you find much in English, but you got it pretty close in your pronunciation anyway.

Anyways, sorry about that; love Can, love Ege Bamyasi and still looking to get further into Krautrock since it's one of the genres I'm still pretty fresh too. Really glad for vids like this, as well as your channel in general. Been really helpful!

Err, sorry to be pedantic etc but Holger stopped playing bass after 'Landed' but remained in the band doing electronics/radiowaves until '77 then also had a hand in the last official album, 'Can' in 79. 'Ege Bamyasi' was the first album of theirs I bought in I think nov. '72? elsewhere in the comments for 'Vitamin c' on u-tube a helpful turkish person tells us that ege bamyasi is turkish for 'aegean okra' which I never knew in all these 46 years...the story goes that Damo found the artefact itself in a turkish restaurant during the last days as the band neared the dreaded deadline that you mentioned, solving the problem at least of entitling it. Thanks for your enthusiasm for something that is so special, both to me and seemingly to a still increasing number of devotees.
