The start of the live series: "Can Live in Stuttgart 1975"

"Live in Stuttgart 1975" is the first part of the new live album series from Can.

"Live in Stuttgart 1975" and the upcoming publications of the CAN Live series were compiled from the best available bootlege recordings and with the technology of the 21st Century mixed and mastered. CAN founding member Irmin Schmidt and the band's long-time producer and sound engineer, Rene Tinner, led the project.

The new album in five parts, "Can Live in Stuttgart 1975", documents an important and impressive part of CAN history. Since the planned live recordings sabotaged again and again in the 70s, they were missing in the spoon catalog. Now the best bootlege recordings were taken and under the direction of founding member Irmin Schmidt and can producer/sound engineer René Tinner were carried out by the mills of the technology of the 21st Century sent to present these important historical documents in the best possible quality.

Founded in 1967 and dissolved a little over a decade later, Can's unprecedented and bold connection of hypnotic grooves and avant -garde instrumental textures made you one of the most important and innovative bands of all time. The new Live series reveals a completely new perspective on the band. You can hear familiar topics, riffs and motifs that appear and surf through the Jams, but often only fleeting faces in a swirling crowd. But you can also discover a lot of music that it never made to the official album canon.

The recordings go to more extreme areas than Can's studio work: from gentle, ambience drift rock to the famous notorious »Godzilla« moments. And even if the band members adapt to minute and chase after the rhythm, you can hear the extraordinary musical telepathy that they all shared.

Reviews

"... the album is much more than just a witness: a fascinating documentation of an extraordinary band in top form." (Stereo, August 2021)

"The precision with which Holger Czukay on the bass and drummer Jaki Liebezeit built the rhythm foundation has a hypnotizing effect despite audiophile weaknesses." (Audio, August 2021)

“Improven how four furies Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Holger Czukay and Jaki love period through their free rock set. (...) If the term ›Free Music‹ was ever applicable, then in this from the first to the last moment as hypnotic and hyperactive eccentric live recording. «(Stereoplay, August 2021)
