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 heights. These songs, especially the cut-up electronics of "Animal Waves," benefit greatly from the heightened fluidity and rhythmic tension of the new, more powerful rhythm section. It's hard to say what's truly the greatest Can record, but SAW DELIGHT--bad title pun and all--is clearly a strong contender.
Recorded at Inner Space Studio, Weilerswist, Germany in 1977.
Can: Michael Karoli (vocals, guitar, electric violin); Irmin Scmidt (vocals, keyboards); Holger Czukay (vocals, synthesizer); Rosko Gee (vocals, bass); Jaki Liebezeit (vocals, drums); Reebop Kwaku Baah (vocals, percussion).

Purchase Saw Delight CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Can Unlimited Edition CD (1976) Remastered
Saw Delight
$13.49 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 1968 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 ...
| | Can Landed CD (1975) Remastered
Saw Delight
$14.55 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. But there's excellent material here. The closing "Unfinished" explores an impressive composite ...
| | Can Delay CD (1969) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Saw Delight
$14.55 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 dissonant, seesawing electronics. If possible, "Little Star of Bethlehem," a spoken/sung saunter ...
| | Can Flow Motion CD (1976) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Saw Delight
$13.49 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 and other Carribean musics. Czukay's bass combines with Michael Karoli's headspinning polyrhythms ...
| | Can Rite Time CD (1989) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Saw Delight
$14.49 RITE TIME finds Can's original lineup--including first vocalist Malcolm Mooney-- reconvening nearly 20 years after its stunning 1968 debut, MONSTER MOVIE. With the decade-long legacy of Can's unparalleled accomplishments (and another decade of oft-worthy solo activities) under their collective belts, the musicians have little to prove here. Unlike many cash-in reunion efforts, RITE TIME is a thoroughly entertaining coda for an extraordinary musical career.
Recorded in sun-drenched Nice during December of 1986, the one-off RITE TIME captures an ageless band at play. Without so much as a blink, the regrouped Can leaps right back into the loose-limbed polymorphic groove-working magic of such monumental albums as SOON OVER BABALUMA. While time may have taken the edge off the restless intensity that informed the earlier TAGO MAGO and EGE BAMYASI, Can still sounds vital. Jaki Liebezeit remains an incomparable drummer; multi-instrumentalists Holger Czukay and Irmin Schmidt have honed their instrumental and electronic signatures ...
| | Can CD (1979) SACD Hybrid; Remastered
Saw Delight
$14.55 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 CAN, an album which largely picks up where the final quartet album, 1977's SAW DELIGHT, left off.
The trio knew during the sessions that this would be the final Can album, barring compilations and occasional temporary reunions, some of which involved original singers Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki, and there's a hint of valedictory sadness in tracks like "All Gates Open" and ...
| | Moe Bandy Greatest Hits CD (1990)
Saw Delight
$7.45 This collection of Moe Bandy hits gives listeners a good survey of the life work of this beloved country singer. While this compilation leaves off in 1990, it includes some of Bandy's most well-known tunes, including "Till I'm Too Old to Die Young," "I Just Can't Say No to You," and "You Haven't Heard the Last of Me," to name a few.
Serene and melodious, GREATEST HITS is superb easy listening, pop inflected C&W music. His singing is slick, stylized, and memorable, evincing deep meaning from each lyric. For example, on "She Has No Memory of Me" he laments the end of a marriage. "She looks in the mirror in her new room, and smiles where the tears used to be," he croons sadly. This song is particularly effective in its universal sentiment of lost love. For fans of Bandy's brand of C&W, GREATEST HITS delivers a plethora of tranquil ballads together with a good dose of Southern twang.
Recorded at Eleven-Eleven Sound, Nashville, Tennessee.
