This week we’re discussing the remaining albums by German krautrock pioneers CAN. Be sure to check out our first episode on this band where we detail the years with Malcom Mooney and Damo Suzuki. This era chronicles the awkward and strange later years, where guitarist Michael Karoli takes over vocals, as well as where bassist and founding member Holger Czukay leaves the band. It gets weird, you’ve been warned.

This week we’re discussing every album by Can from 1968 to 1973. In addition to helping pioneer krautrock, Can is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. They’ve been sampled by countless artists and their style is both unmistakable and timeless. A wild and incredible band that never really got their due. This era of the band covers their stint with their most known vocalist, Damo Suzuki, as well as some of their most beloved albums. Everyone should know this band.
Read MoreEpisode 89: Neu!
This week we’re discussing every album by Neu! Made up of Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger, Neu! helped pioneer krautrock in the early 70s. Repetitious, hypnotizing, and jammy, this band pairs nicely with weed, as Mike won’t stop saying. Not for everyone, but worth a listen. Dig it.
Closing track: “Hero” from Neu! ‘75 (1975)
