Can’s Holger Czukay Dead at 79


The second death for that band this year. I put CAN right up there with the best. Very creative music. Ege Bamyasi has been in heavy rotation on my system for years, as has Future Days.

All fine albums with Soon over Babaluma. Probably the wrong forum but I was more curious about any of his work outside CAN that you might be familiar with. While there are several lame CAN bootlegs out there, and their later work is obviously more commercialized than their first releases, when they were peaking around the time of  Ege Bamyasi, Tago Mago and/or Future Days, as you said they were "up there with the best". I find the Krautrock genre very enjoyable and at times quite fun to listen to. Though, saying that I must add, some of it I do not get at all.
Can't really help you there. I bought one many years ago (not even sure what it was) & it was pretty boring. Never looked for any more. 
Thanks Boxer. If interested, you might try Tago Mago if you get a chance. Disc 1 is some of CAN's very best work. Disc 2 is all over the place, but that is CAN.
Thanks for your time. Rock on,   art
Are the "Lost Tapes" recorded well? I agree with you completely on Tago Mago. 
Yes. The 5 LP's are all as well produced as any of there first LP's. From my understanding/readings these LP's were the best of like 100s of hours of stuff Holgar produced/edited/engineered while recording at Schlob Norvenich (their early "castle studio"). The Lost Tapes are just that and now that they're price has dropped significantly it is a fine addition. Obviously not their Prime Grade A studio releases of the early '70's but all recorded in the same general time frame. Very good stuff, very well recorded.
