Hey Oliver pls do a video on Coil.

Ah my favourite The Fall song :)

[@hendrik-c4q]

Can you do a video where you talk about the influence of Karlheinz Stockhausen?

[@footwinner1]

My brother's ex-wife's half-brother recommended this album to me during a very awkward rehearsal dinner. I was only 15 at the time and mostly listened to emo and metalcore. He told me "listen to it. You may not like it and that's fine. Put it away for a couple years and check it out again later." Sure enough, I tried it at 15 and didn't care enough to keep listening. Tried it again around 19, and still didn't care much. Then at 22 I listened again and couldn't believe what I had passed up.

amazing that you kept with it. they're a great band. and you did it right, stayed persistent. i can't say that at age 15 i would have known what the hell to do with a band like can. of course, now, they're one of my favorite all-time bands. it's not a stretch to say they're one of the most influential bands of all time. that's because the music is incredible.

[@Jokkkkke]

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

[@finroe6089]

The Revolution haha that’s awesome!

[@aidanmca4177]

I live in glasgow! I find that so cool, do you remember anything else you talked about

[@davidjennystudentshortfilm3010]

Did you break up the band??!!! lol.

[@vb2388]

Jaki is one of the greatest drummers of all time

[@Bramhallthefifth]

VB MUTT was :(

[@deepcuts]

Couldn't agree more

[@Questmetalband]

So Underrated!!

[@isaiahromero9861]

Maybe it's just because I'm not a drummer, but I usually don't notice distinct "styles" with the drummers in most bands(not counting hip hop and electronic producers of course), but Jaki's playing is instantly recognizable to me, he has a style that's completely his own, which seems rare for drummers

[@duncanclarke]

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

[@deepcuts]

It's damn-near flawless as a trilogy

[@BadBlueBoysBorovje]

don't forget the best album by the band - Monster Movie

[@enriquejose17]

I literally shouted “YESSSS” as I read the title in my sub box.

[@shane4059]

Oliver, you have great taste in music. Best music channel on youtube. thanks

Thanks mate, massively appreciated!

[@gryme]

the drumming on this is absolutely fantastic

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

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Ah that would have been such a treat to have that gem pop up unexpectedly!

[@PrAnG2000]

Had this album since the mid 90s when I used to collect breakbeats. Musically incredible.

[@Dismoeyy]

Disgusting how I can just listen to everything now thanks to streaming, but I'll gladly dive into your personal essential albums. Thanks for expanding my acoustic horizon!

[@pippincovington1348]

Dismoeyy being able to easily expand your musical horizons? disgusting! what has music become? acessible to everyone? eugh!

[@nihey477]

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

[@kazimierzgarshin3924]

He was still the vocalist on Future Days, my favourite Can album.

[@MrFcStPaulifan3]

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.

[@moistspuds845]

ye! Mother Sky is sooo amazing. that little up note thing of guitar during the whole track adds such an interesting feeling and everything else is also perfect

[@alaaalsherbini5146]

I love this channel You introduced me to a lot of great albums Thank you!

[@32mybelle]

This is why I love your channel. I learn so much about music that I may have not otherwise come in contact with. Thanks!

[@Lycosa]

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.

[@Ppilots7]

I'd put this in my top 10 all time albums

[@captainmoondog1947]

This video it's amazing because Can it's one of the essential influences of the 2000's rock

[@nikolademitri731]

Ah, yas, Oliver! Such an essential record! Glad you’re doing this one! I had no idea “Spoon” was released as a single *before* the albu, though, I did know it was a single, and a hit in the UK at that, which has always blown my mind. Seriously, it’s a great track, but how the hell did that become a hit! I wish American’s had such refined tastes... Favorite tracks: “I’m So Green”, “One More Night”, and “Vitamin C”, but they’re all pretty good, except “Soup” which I gotta admit is just okay imo. They did this same kind of jam/instrumental way better on other albums. It does detract from the whole “more accessible album” thing, as you said, but seriously, even without “Soup” calling this album “accessible” is extremely relative to the albums that proceeded it. By any other standard, it ain’t that, even if it does have a few very catchy hooks. Really, “Egi Bamyasi”, “Tago Mago”, and “Future Days” are basically interchangeable, as far as greatness. I admittedly probably like “Future Days” the more than any other CAN album, as a whole album (it’s flow is perfect), but this album and “Tago” have my favorite CAN tracks. You should do “essential” takes on all of them, man! Cheers ✌🏼

[@radiofriendly5098]

I've been listening to Pinch on repeat because of this. Thank you sir.

[@ConnahJay]

I've always felt a instant connection with others who LOVE this album.

[@jnnyg7101]

[@pedrolucaslopesballiana6702]

man I LOV this channel

[@stevenbaker7696]

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.

[@Altres]

Two other classic kraut, Aqua by Froese and In Den Garten Pharos by Popol Vuh also work around fluidity and water running.

[@UppruniTegundanna]

Ah, nothing about One More Night? That is such a wonderful track - the beat is so subtly complex, and there are some gorgeous synth melodies in there, as well as great restrained guitar licks.

[@noodle71110]

checked it out today and damn, that was really good

[@KenjiStarwolf]

Oh i want to do a video on the band too! :o

[@timurinvietnam]

One of the coolest bands

[@White1Tiger2Dan]

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!

[@Syfoll]

Just a small correction: Irmin Schmidt didn't use a synthesizer in Can. He only used a Farfisa organ and a Farfisa electric piano, with the expection of Aumgn, where he used oscillators. The sound in Spoon that you mentioned is the organ.

[@moozycla6]

Have you reviewed *The Mothers of Invention* yet, Oliver? I was wondering if I missed anything.

[@tlk2ty]

Ever thought about doing a video on Les Rallizes Dénudés? Old Japanese band who's influence reached artists like Merzbow, Boris, and Boredoms.

[@Dan-if2dq]

'Pinch' sounds like a lot of The Fall songs. Amazing album, amazing band

[@cameronhill7769]

Mark E Smith was a huge fan of Can. The Fall recorded a song called 'I am Damo Suzuki', and you can hear the influence obviously on a track like 'The Classical' or in MES's lyrics.

[@Dan-if2dq]

Cameron Hill yeah, I love them as well. Oli should do a discography video on them

[@cameronhill7769]

That could be a LONG video

[@PhlegethonianStream]

Have you listened to the band Föllakzoid?

[@surroundgatari]

Tago Mago is my favourite, but ege bamyasi has a brilliantly tight tracklist. Pinch is a fucking magnificent opener, I couldn't pick between it and Paperhouse.

The fact that all fans pretty much agree that this album is amazing, and still it's considered by many (including me) to be the "weakest" of the trilogy, just shows how amazing a trilogy it is.

although a venetian snares discography review would be cool, he has a lot of interesting stuff, although those videos seem to take more effort and theres other artists that deserve a discography review more, like john coltrane

[@erdingtonsfinest937]

Detrimentalist and the Hungarian album are absolutely savage

[@MrKelleyzinho]

I don't think Vitamin C sounds anything like West Coast psychedelia, but the flowing nature of the entire album is definitely California influenced. BTW, Inherent Vice is an LA noir. Nothing to do with the Bay Area.

The album people avoid talking about, because they don't know how to pronounce the title and don't want to look like a dick. Oliver went there! One of the greatest bands ever. Several of their albums would be worthy of Deep Cuts Essentials. Tago Mago blew my 15-year-old mind when I first heard it. Nowadays I think Future Days is my favourite.

Hey Oliver, have you heard of the Argentinian prog rock band Bubu? They released their only album (Anabelas) in the 70s, but came back with an EP in 2016 and later this year they should be releasing a new full-length album, as their fb page claims: facebook.com/BubuResplandor/ I got recommended to listen to Anabelas because Frances the Mute is one of my favorite albums. Seeing as you liked that record too, you should definitely give Bubu's short discography a listen if you haven't, and maybe consider talking about the new project (if it actually comes true) in the monthly roundup section!

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

Huge fan of Can, I love Tago Mago, Future Days and Soon Over Babaluma. However I don't think this is a classic, it's a high near perfection album and it's still one of my favourites.

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

For me personally a classic album has everything perfect with no flaws and I consider is to be one of the best albums of all time. Near perfect ones for me are albums with 90% things perfect but with some flaws but still one of my big favourites however not considering it to be a classic.

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

That's just what I think. I agree with the things you said. There are albums that I consider classics for what they are in my mind musically and lyrically. There are some I don't consider classics but hugely respect and understand the impact and influence on them like Nevermind as you mentioned also others like The Velvet Underground and Nico, Ziggy Stardust and many more. I respect your honesty about it.

Everyone knows about this. It's 2019. Try some Foals or something current.

[@floris1912]

Which Foals/current albums do you think are deserving to be on this list?

[@floris1912]

In my mind, Foals is one of those mediocre "indie, but actually mainstream" artists that only got popular, because they were featured in a Fifa soundtrack. Or is this thought totally wrong? I have only listened to their album What Went Down several times in the past, so I probably can't really judge them.
