Can
Ege Bamyasi

The third studio album by German krautrock band Can, originally released as an LP in 1972. Ege Bamyası has received considerable critical acclaim since its release. British music weekly Melody Maker wrote: "Can are without doubt the most talented and most consistent experimental rock band in Europe, England included.

Great sound, any audiophile would be pleased with it. A wonderful album and a close to Can’s masterpiece Tago Mago.

The group’s fourth album demonstrates that Holger Shukai associates decided to abandon all sorts of dubious mushrooms and switched to a healthy vegetarian diet with a high vitamin content. This album is much more restrained, neat and more musical than the previous one (this does not mean worse / better, please note). The psychedelic unbridled gives way to more calm, monotonous compositions that spread throughout your body with pleasant jazz warmth. After nightmarish images and grandiose visions of Tago Mago, this calm album seems at first less expressive, but over time it turns out to be more conducive to repeated auditions. There is also an interesting (in the context of the experiments of fellow countrymen Kraftwerk) innovation - a drum machine on the Spoon. The only thing I can’t take here yet is the 10-minute “Soup”, which turned out to be some kind of completely inedible, falling out of the general, very digestible menu. Very mature and interesting CD.
