 (1 Customer Review)
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Released in 1976 as a double-album expansion of 1974's LIMITED EDITION, UNLIMITED EDITION collects previously unreleased recordings made by Can between ... Full Description1968 and 1974. Because the group owned their own rehearsal space/studio, Inner Space, they could record pretty much at whim, not only when release schedules dictated. While in some hands, this lack of structure would be an open invitation for endless, boring jams, the members of Can are far too self-disciplined for that.
While a distinct looseness permeates these songs, none of them are unstructured or repetitive enough to truly be called jams. Instead, they're explorations, like the improvisations of a talented, intuitive jazz combo. While many of the 19 tracks--including several entries in their ongoing Ethnological Forgeries series--are instrumentals, former singers Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki are both represented here.
Recorded at Can Studio, Weilerswist, Germany between September 1968 and July 1975.
Can: Damo Suzuki, Malcolm Mooney (vocals); Michael Karoli (guitar, shenai); Jaki Liebezeit (winds, drums, percussion); Irmin Schmidt (keyboards, synthesizer); Holger Czukay (bass).
Uncut (p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[E]xhibiting both Can's workings and playfulness, particularly on the Faust-like extended patchwork of 'Cutaway'."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Rough, flawed and fascinating, this is Can at their most spontaneous, running through weird skanks, cosmic abstractions, soundtrack pieces and fake folk music."

Unlimited Edition Music Review Purchase Unlimited Edition CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Can Soon Over Babaluma CD (1974) Remastered
Unlimited Edition album
 $14.95 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Whereas many fans favor the frazzled funkadelia of EGE BAMYASI and TAGO MAGO, SOON OVER BABALUMA is undeniably Can's masterpiece. With BABALUMA, guitarist/violinist Michael Karoli, founding keyboardist Irmin Schmidt, and Can's peerless rhythm section (bassist/tape manipulator Holger Czukay and human drum-machine Jaki Liebezeit) achieve an effortless fusion of rock, jazz, improvisation, world music, and psychedelia. Like no group before or since, Can assimilates the soulful sway of dub reggae, the florid, traditional dervish-dances of Eastern Europe, and the transcendental grooves of Latin and non-Western musics into an indivisible, utterly irresistible whole.
The impossibly fluid "Splash" sounds like the creation of a single, multi-armed music-making entity. Liebezeit's octopus-limbed polyrhythms cavort with Czukay's joyous low-end flourishes and playful splices; Karoli's strings whirl, alternately searing ...
| | Can Landed CD (1975) Remastered
Unlimited Edition CD music
$14.95 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
1975's LANDED is among the most controversial titles in the hefty Can catalog. Opinion varies as to whether it is the last great Can album or a dismal failure that represents the beginning of the end for the legendary German band. The fact is that LANDED is both. And, no matter how you feel, LANDED is too complex an album to submit to such a simplistic good/bad dichotomy.
LANDED can't be dismissed offhand, if only because the album directly follows Can's high-water mark, SOON OVER BABALUMA. Such tracks as "Half Past One" and "Red Hot Indians" repeat BABALUMA's electrifying recombination of pan-cultural rhythms and ethnic flavors but suffer from a lack of definition. A prog-rock mentality creeps into LANDED, manifested with such telltale symptoms as showy musicianship ("Vernal Equinox"), odd keyboard fills, and overly glossy production. ...
| | Can Delay CD (1969) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Unlimited Edition music CDs
$13.89
A ragged-but-right Can recorded the material found on DELAY before and after completing 1968's official debut, MONSTER MOVIE. Literally delayed, this important document of the band's beginnings was edited from archival tapes by bassist and co-founder Holger Czukay and didn't see release until 1981. It's a surprisingly strong collection that's redolent of the group's influences (Stooges, Hendrix, Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, perhaps the 13th Floor Elevators) and sheds light on Can's formative years.
"Butterfly" kicks off DELAY in an immediately recognizable mode. Czukay, superb drummer Jaki Liebezeit, and guitarist Michael Karoli lock into a mesmerizing, maze-like groove while expatriate American artist Malcolm Mooney extemporizes a parched mantra about how "dying butterfly began to fly," and keyboardist Irmin Schmidt fills the spaces with ...
| | Can Flow Motion CD (1976) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Unlimited Edition songs
$14.15
1976's FLOW MOTION is probably Can's most immediately accessible album, borne out by the fact that the opening track, "I Want More," was the group's sole chart hit in Britain. The album title is uncannily (sorry) descriptive; this music flows with the sinuous grace of a dancer.
The Stockhausen-influenced repetition that marked their earlier records is still evident here, but Holger Czukay's bass has a new limberness and melodic bent, showing a fresh appreciation of the supple rhythms of reggae ...
| | Can Saw Delight CD (1977) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Unlimited Edition album
$14.15
This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
Can's final album to feature Holger Czukay; the remaining members would make two more, OUT OF REACH and CAN, before splitting in 1979. 1977's SAW DELIGHT is also the album which introduces bassist Rosko Gee and percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah, two ex-members of Traffic whose backgrounds in jazz and African music fundamentally changed Can's sound.
While the group was always attuned to the nuances of rhythm, the entrance of Gee and Kwaku Baah took this interest to new and intoxicating ...

Unlimited Edition CD music

Can briefly disbanded in 1977, but three of the core members reformed the next year to produce the mildly disappointing OUT OF REACH. The same three--Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli and Jaki Liebezeit--continued the following year with the much-improved ...
