Can: Recycled Cans

Among the great German bands of the '60s and '70s – kosmiche avatars Amon Düül and Ash Ra Tempel, motorik pioneer Neu!, synth wunderkind Tangerine Dream – none stand taller than Can. The group's groundbreaking sound, a throbbing cauldron of psychedelia, dub, funk, improv and warped worldbeat, influenced artists as diverse as the Fall, Gang of Four, PiL, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Sonic Youth and Stereolab.
