Can, particularly the version of the band fronted by Damo Suzuki, is one of the best rock acts of all time, but their music almost completely resists being covered.

Remix albums have something of a deserved bad name: often lazily tossed off cash cows trying to convince the consumer to pay out for the same product twice.

LIVE REPORT: Meakusma, Brussels

Given that Brussels is generally associated with rigid bureaucracy, it's a pleasingly weird and surprising city where roads snake down into wide intersections like a surrealist European answer to San Francisco's Nob Hill, bleak low-rent streets suddenly make way for gasp-inducing churches, and the smoking ban is casually flaunted, with polite good cheer, in restaurants and bars.

But also, yes, this year's Incubate Festival is in the far-flung horizon, a heaving seven-day Hercules of a festival buoying up the year, and to help you keep that in mind, here's a reminder of 2012's event, a full-length recording of Damo Suzuki's Network's first set at the festival, recorded on Friday 14 September: Suzuki started DSN ten years after he departed Can, and the group's ever-changing cast of musicians having been taking in all comers since, currently numbering around 450 members.

Graded on a Curve: Can, The Lost Tapes

Wed, December 05 2012 2:05pm - Source: The Vinyl District

The group known as Can is one of absolutely indispensible names to emerge from the well-celebrated Krautrock style, but for quite a while the specifics of their rep were solidly ensconced and pretty much unchanging.

Indeed, jamming was at the heart of pretty much everything the legendary krautrockers did.

It should be a worry when your interviewees get distracted half way through your conversation, but as tonight was 5th November and there were fireworks going off all over London I didn't mind when Arbouretum 's Corey Allender (bass) and Brian Carey (drums) were thrown by the Hackney Downs display, which was just about visible out of the pub's window.

Brast Burn – Debon

Sat, November 03 2012 2:07am - Source: Swan Fungus

"Quite an unbelievable find! This mysterious record has lain undiscovered since the mid seventies when (it is guessed) it was recorded by a group of unknown Japanese musicians and then released privately by Voice records. Rumours of the greatness of this psychedelic masterpiece have circulated for years (largely propagated by Nurse With Wounds famously obscure "list" on which Brast Burn feature) and it has finally seen re-release in a beautiful hand numbered CD issue of just 500. So, now that it's available what's it actually like? Well,… it's simply astonishing. Split into two long sequences, the music runs right up to the edge of sanity and screams wordlessly in the face of madness then jogs back to a lone hill top to lazily invent the form of psychedelic acid folk that Ghost have made an entire career from. There is utterly freaked out, acid-drenched genius at work on this record. Strains of Kraut rock run throughout, Can, and particularly Damo Suzuki's vocal style, are certainly valid comparisons, but this music really does seem to be running a race of its own, clouded in pot smoke, and headed in the wrong direction but glorious while doing it. Highly Recommended."

It's a testament to how far out Can 's music still seems, over 30 years after the band originally split, that we try to understand it not by looking for musical answers, but by clinging to fantastical suppositions.
