CAN - Tago Mago (1971)

 


CAN has gone through a few style changes throughout its existence. From krautrock, to avant-garde, and ending somewhere near ambient; these dudes made some pretty heady and great tunes. I enjoy their latter works, but nothing hits like the records they did with Suzuki. His voice was the jittery, sometimes mumbling glue that held the albums together, in my opinion. I circle back around to this record every other year or so, and wear it out over the course of like a month. Mushroom is my jam.  The history behind the recording is pretty dope. The band stayed in a castle, rent-free for roughly 3 months. It's also named after an island that has something to do with Crowley? Creepy.  Grab this and freak out.
