CAN - Tago Mago DLP

For a long time, the Can LPs were only available as bootlegs, but now the official vinyl reissues are finally available via Spoon Records! The band's double album (gatefold), recorded in just three months, was released in 1971 and was recorded at Nörvenich Castle. It is part of the world cultural heritage of recent music history, like "Sergeant Pepper" by the Beatles, "Electric Ladyland" by Hendrix or the Banana Album debut by Velvet Underground. The seven titles collected here still determine the DNA of popular music today. "Tago Mago" occupies a special place in the work of the band Can. It is Mount Everest, the highest concentration of a sheer will to express oneself, which accepted neither stylistic pettiness nor musical genre boundaries and was that which "sounds only like itself, like no-one before or after" (Julian Cope, "Krautrocksampler"). In fact, "Tago Mago" was often referred to as a "magical record", a mysterious journey into the dark heart of a music that had never been heard before.
