Can

Real Name:Michael Karoli, Damo Kenji Suzuki, Jaki Liebezeit, Irmin Schmidt, Holger Czukay
Profile:German pioneers of kraut rock and electronics. Formed in late 60s' and started to experiment with psychedelic music and free jazz, eventually were joined by singer Kenji "Damo" Suzuki and turned their sound towards a crazy mixture of improvisation, noise, mantra and funk rhythms. "Tago Mago" (1971), "Ege Bamyasi" (1972) and "Future Days" (1973) is their trilogy of masterpieces.

User Reviews:
jaxxalude, Nov 30, 2003

Before the 4/4 beat was ever named that way and done by machines, there was a man already doing it by himself. His name was (and still is) Jaki Liebzeit. He was the drummer for this highly influential German band. His drum-playing style is unbeatable and no doubt influenced a lot of the music in forthcoming years.
But credit is also due to the entire group. Percussors of what is dubbed as krautrock, Can not only envisoned most of the sonic landscapes of a lot of electronic music, they also pioneered what we call post-rock by 25 years or so.
Also in their lineup is another accomplished and influential musician: Holger Czukay. His solo work and collaborations with people like Brian Eno, Bill Laswell and others still sound cutting-edge nowadays. Just like Cans music, for instance.
