Can's Ege Bamyasi in 5 Minutes

[@WhiskeyPieSometimes]

Stephen Malkmus once said he listened to this album every night for a year. I know how he feels, this never gets old.

[@DemonSlide]

Stephen Malkmus of Pavement has been quoted as saying "I played Can's Ege Bamyası album every night before I went to sleep for about three years."

[@kid-ava]

he's literally so awesome

[@captainmoondog1947]

RIP Damo Suzuki 🙏

[@Neel-ff4mn]

The fact that Pitchfork of all things covered such an overlooked album is awesome!

[@gustavomontes14]

Amazing band, discovered them because of Radiohead.

[@Panthercholo]

One of the most underrated bands.

[@ImpossibleFailer]

They are one of the most acclaimed krautrock bands out there wot

[@stevencloer2941]

+Anal Staircase outside of kraut rock and experimental rock bands they are not at all popular so in many ways he's correct.

[@morissmor]

What good experimental band isn't underrated?

[@stevencloer2941]

+Reptile estrin Radiohead could be but in some ways even they're still underrated

[@morissmor]

Loneliest Monk well in my opinion, they're highty overrated.

[@JohnPatt]

Please do "Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space" next.

[@CurtMudgeon]

[@sonik9233]

Favourite band ever

[@hermexhermex]

"Jaki Liebezeit, who, after a strange encounter with a fan began to play more monotonous beats" can someone please explain this? I cannot rest until I understand.

[@RockmanYoshi]

After a jazz gig a stranger approached him and told him: “You must play monotonously!”

[@olivomau2178]

[@baco82]

The motorik beat

[@nikolademitri731]

You should have included the fun fact that the band Spoon take their name from the song, "Spoon", on this album. Ege Bamyasi tied with Tago Mago as my second favorite CAN album, Future Days being their best imo. All three of these albums are easily 10/10, though, and the follow up to Future Days, Soon Over Babaluma, is only slightly behind these, easily 9.5/10. I rank Future Days as only slightly above the other two bc it's stylistically a more consistent whole, and because, like Babaluma, it explores more ambient, tranquil territory, while maintaining the psych-kraut artistry of of Ege and Tago. Imo Tago and Ege are companion/brother(or sister) albums if sorts, as are Future and Babaluma. These are the 4 CAN albums you NEED as a music fan, and while the others are great in their ways, CAN these are masterpieces of experimental, psychedelic, and krautrock styles.

[@Valleyplant]

Why do people always dismiss Saws Delight? Yes it’s later but I feel it fits Ege Bamyasi very very well. Quite comperable

[@paperhouse_3919]

I think Monster Movie and Soundtracks are more important than Babaluma

[@prog_post_rock]

Future Days is my favorite too.

Mispronouncing names: Ege Bamyasa Jackie Liebezeit Deimo Suzuki

[@deadbeatdynamo]

It's Pitchfork. Expect a few pretensions and assumptions, not to mention the obligatory name-dropping. Get that Cred, PF!

[@nikokaapa]

I love Cologne. It's such a beautiful city.

[@YOUTHLIBERATIONFRONT]

Great video for an amazing band, good job pitchfork.... just need more liner notes from more generally lesser known bands.

[@MikeGervasi]

Thanks for finally settling HOW you say the title.

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

Do now a video of the mastahpieze Corey Feldman Angelic 2 the Core

[@saturatedneowax]

so fucking good

[@pictureofsky5332]

i wanna see one on Mellon Collie.

[@3goals4bonzai]

my connection is your connection

[@amphitheatre]

live reactions to this video: hmm pitchfork actually knows what this is? "EGO BAMYASO" ... "DAYMO SUSUKI" yea nvm

[@pdg887]

Actually that's how you're supposed to pronounce bamyasi www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html Not sure about Damo

[@goeko2000]

pdg887 he's not that bad but that's not the exact pronunciation of 'bamyası'. we don't stress the words that much as he does. also the last letter' ı ' isn't pronounced like 'uh' or 'wuh', nonetheless he pronounces well despite the fact that he's a foreign-speaker.

[@Mitch-Cumstein]

no. thats not how you say ege bamyasi at all. Sources: Im turkish.

[@literaticrux8292]

Best album ever. Oh yeah and the band Spoon

[@blingblingstarmie-5294]

how about some jazz for the next liner notes? Maybe kind of blue or Otis Redding sings soul...

[@felixucoff]

Trust me, you don't want pitchfork getting anywhere near jazz...

[@ManSteaming]

Thanks for that book report!

[@fuzzydunlop4513]

What was the strange encounter with the fan? So ominous

[@Rummelb0xer]

Best album ever!

[@milesbaigent4534]

Well after Tago Mago yes, you may well be correct!

[@gumdood9532]

aww fuck yeah.

[@EgeYakut]

Ege Bamyası? Lmao this made me laugh

[@spacealienjesus709]

I. " Can " And I will..

[@7sterling]

What's Jaki's "strange encounter with a fan?" What's the story there?

[@SuperCartiel]

It wasn't a fan. It was another drummer. Another jazz drummer told Jaki to 'play the same thing' (apparently). Jaki took that advice.

[@humzahj.]

@@SuperCartiel There's an interview on youtube of Jaki himself saying it was just some guy. probably a fan after a show, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ6bfp2CeceEaNE go to around 3:30 something

[@hattorihanzo9000]

[@vackrakristaller]

[@hattorihanzo9000]

[@ulvisafar]

Görəsən niyə Ege Bamyası qoyublar?)

[@Berkay-xl4hu]

Valla bende bilmiyorum

[@kida9351]

bu albümün ad ve kapak konsepti ile ilgili söylentiler, memleket kalburüstü müzik düşkünleri arasında neredeyse bir tür şehir miti mertebesine ulaşmıştır; açıklık getirmek isterim. can (ken okunan) tayfası albümün kapağındaki konserve ege bamyasına bir restoranda rastlamışlardır, doğrudur. ancak mevzuubahis restoran, arkadaşların bir şekilde inandırıldığı üzere güney sahillerimizde değil, albümü kaydettikleri köln’dedir; sene 1972’dir. türk işçilerin bu dönemde artan oranda akın ettirildiği şehirler arasında üst sıralarda yer alan köln’de türk restoranları mantar gibi bitmektedir. stüdyo kayıtlarına ara verdikleri bir öğle üzeri bir şeyler atıştırmak için bu restoranlardan birine dalan can üyelerinden şimdi adını hatırlayamadığım bir tanesi sözkonusu can (can okunan) marka ege bamyası konservesini görür ve “grafiker masrafından kurtulduk arkadaşlar” diyerek konserveyi hemen oracıkta satın alır.* yani diyeceğim her kim başlattıysa etkilenme olayını memleket topraklarına çekmenin alemi yoktur. kaynak bundan altı sene önce londra rough trade shop’ta rastladığım ve yine adını hatırlayamadığım can üzerine bir kitaptır, hikaye kuvvetle muhtemel doğrudur. 26.12.2005 04:29 ~ 21.02.2020 13:33 cosmo vitelli

[@sonjoestar3613]

hey i'm from turkey and you're pronouncing it wrong, so damn funny:D ege bamyası it is lol

[@pch2230]

Get off your high horse, Abdul. I've been to Turkey and heard the locals trying to speak English. That wasn't so great either.

[@mandalina31]

​@@pch2230 Abdul? You could've at least tried something like Mehmet.

[@greentangerine8613]

Should have done tago mago

[@alperkamu4842]

ege bamyası oğlum ege bamyası düzgün okusana la şunun ismini

[@roflol65]

Tago Mago is better

[@joshuakrum181]

hmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm interesting

[@DigitalBuddah13]

relax, guy

[@solderofchr1st]

Future Days is best.

[@zweePOP]

hell yeah. Bel Air = best song of the 70s

[@CanAlternateLostTape]

I prefer Ege Bamyasi. It's more seductive, beguiling, and unique. I enjoy its abundance of great pop songs and more condensed structure (the second half of "Soup" is like the entire 2nd LP of Tago Mago boiled down to a super potent, sticky resin). Tago Mago is certainly better recorded, but feels more in line with what other heavy psych and jam bands of the era were doing, and is therefore less special to me.

[@sudevsen]

Future Days >Ege Bamyasi > Tago Mango

[@yesitismejesuschristyourar657]

Sudev Sen Ass backwards

[@SEGAClownboss]

This is correct

[@Martel4]

Sometimes I prefer Tago Mago* a lil more than Ege, but yes Future Days>all.

[@TheEpicImpaler]

>Mango kek
