Introducción
Can (estilizada como CAN) fue una banda alemana de rock experimental formada en Colonia en 1968 por el cuarteto formado por Holger Czukay (bajo, edición de cintas), Irmin Schmidt (teclados), Michael Karoli (guitarra) y Jaki Liebezeit (batería). Fue una de las bandas de música más importantes del movimiento krautrock de Alemania que se gestó a fines de los años 1960. A sus comienzos y primer álbum con el vocalista Malcom Mooney le dedicamos un anterior artículo. (1969: Película de monstruos).
El vocalista Mooney fue reemplazado en mayo de 1970 por el más discreto Kenji "Damo" Suzuki. Con Suzuki, la banda hizo sus álbumes más exitosos crítica y comercialmente.

El primer disco de la banda con Suzuki fue Soundtracks publicado en 1970 en Alemania con Liberty (LBS 83 437 I). Un anterior artículo lo dedicamos a ese álbum: 1970: El álbum de bandas sonoras de CAN
El tercer álbum de la banda titulado Tago Mago fue publicado originalmente en Alemania como un doble LP en agosto de 1971 por United Artists Records. El lanzamiento británico, con diferente portada, se produjo en febrero de 1972. Es más meditativo, electrónico y experimental que los anteriores. A él dedicamos un anterior artículo: 1971: CAN en la isla de Tagomago

Ege Bamyasi, representa la transición hacia el sonido más atmosférico que la banda desarrollaría en su siguiente álbum Future Days que suele ser considerado de los mejores álbumes de la banda. A este álbum dedicamos el anterior artículo:1973: Días futuros para CAN

Historia
La marcha de Suzuki
Suzuki se fue poco después de la grabación del álbum Future Days para casarse con su novia alemana y convertirse en testigo de Jehová.
Tras la marcha de Suzuki, se inicia una nueva etapa en CAN, por lo que deciden desempolvar todo el material anterior que no habían publicado y lanzar un álbum con dicho material.

Producción del álbum
El álbum recopila material desde sus inicios en 1968 hasta el momento y es una oportunidad para volver a escuchar a los cantantes Damo Suzuki y Malcolm Mooney.
Lanzamiento y portada del álbum Limited Edition
El álbum Limited Edition fue publicado en 1974 en el Reino Unido con United Artist Records con edición limitada a 15.000 copias y un precio de 97 peniques. Eso hizo que se vendiera rápido (por aquel entonces un álbum normal costaba dos libras) y provocó que aparecieran copias falsificadas.
Según consta en la funda, el álbum contiene 13 cortes no publicados anteriormente grabados en los estudios Inner Space de Colonia.

CARA 1
A1 Gomorrha
Instrumental
A2 Doko E
[Traducido del japonés]
Those filthy bloody factories in Tokyo
It's just a polluted city
Where can we go?
Discover Japan!
The pollution is making it more and more shitty
For God's sake, let's get away
But where can we escape to?
This cold, filty, polluted city!
It's become so foul that
Even the trees have withered away
What's happened to them?
Clean people, clean rice
Clean homes, clean earth, no chance
Let's try eat fresh vegetables, but stop eating the fish
Why?
A3 LH 702 (Nairobi - München)
Instrumental
A4 I’m Too Leise
Just hands off this time
Now pick off your heart, babe
Now pick off your heart, babe
That's not the right chords
No birth chords, just in my head
The night is ready, giving to bay
The night is ready, giving to ray
The night comes to slap my head
The night comes to straw my hair
The night goes round smooth my hair
It goes round smooth my hair
Go away
Go and take the words out
Go and give the peace and give it to me
And I am crazy give it to me
And I am crazy giving to me
Just bad enough to be crazy giving away
Just plain crazy, crazy as before
And no one will be here
And no one will be mine
'Cause waiting I'll be
To trap, to make it
To trap, to make it
To trap, to make it
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
No I never felt like this
Just to make it better
And stop this
And stop it and stop it
And stop it, stop it
A5 Musette
Instrumental
A6 Blue Bag (Inside Paper)
Blue, blue bag, blank beat
Blue, blue bag, nothing you get today
Blue, blue bag, cry forever
Blue, blue bag, inside apaper
Inside a paper, nothing to do
What you got, nothing to do
What you got, blue, blue bag
Inside a paper, blue, blue bag
I don't ask it, blue, blue bag
Inside paper, blue, blue bag
What you care?
Blue bag, blue bag
Blue bag, bag, blue
CARA 2
B1. E.F.S. No. 27
[Voces ininteligibles]
B2. TV Spot
I'm in a bus drunk did little fishing
I'm in a bus drunk did little fishing
I'm in the bus drunk, do it together
I'm in the bus drunk, rigorous fear
Beggars don't cry as you must see
What is this song?
Nobody can, nobody
Nobody laughed, somebody laughed
Say that again, somebody laughed
Nobody laughed, somebody, there somebody, mistake, mistake, mistake
Nobody came
But nobody came, somebody came
Nobody came, somebody came
Nobody asked you, somebody asked you
Nobody told you, somebody told you
Nobody loved you, somebody loved you
Somebody loved you, somebody loved you, somebody loved you
As I hear
Is all I hear
Just like, I tell you, how I wish
Sounds I'm tied
And nobody asked you, someone asked you
Nobody talked to you, I've been talking to you
Nobody cared, what, I come to you, nobody laughed
We said "Loves you", nobody loves you
Tell me "Loves you", nobody love, nobody love, nobody love
Nobody love, nobody love, no we love you

B4. The Empress and the Ukraine King
The empress and the Ukraine king
The from the house to float on in
She breaked in banana corches in
From the seasons after spring
The empress had a killer on his chest
Faced the east for the morning sunset
Silent certain time, skin and goat
Lots of golden hair, took a fruit
But then he smiled, banana king
Sitting on a golden ring
Every's fur, lightning touch
Stuck on the pettery, feed meets stubs
Record players, speeding king
Set the news for his chilling
Good moments pass for his domain
Put the stickers for the Ukraine
Silver dog eyes blast
Records twisting, tree smoke clashed
Overfloating window sill
Passing goes off the will
omebody's name for some grave's day
The purest's purest, now cuts first aid
I said the king to call his jester
Friend called above the curvy tester
Sit down to see yesterday
Passing to the secret grey
We decerish tasting trees
The chocolate is Spanish treats
From the neckish peabush grip
From the velvet ivory slipped
When we carry in the bed
The speakers all outside her head
Can't put away the cruelest card
When though the congressmen could snart
The Ukraine king is conquered vice
Turning off his mowing light
Trap the killer with his make-ons
Suiting up before his light
Ray our equal liberty poised
Ask the Indian to turn out the noise
Bring me a coded traffic cream
Give me some to stop the screen
I woke from many circling king
I just saw this conquering
From many days they have time
The ukraine king is, can't describe
I wrote every passing lie
The Ukraine king had every spy

B6. Mother Upduff
Spoken:
Düsseldorf, 1969
Mister and Misses Upduff and grandmother Upduff
Decided they were going on a vacation
Mother Upduff hanging out in Düsseldorf for 80 years
They pack the car, they take in equipment and started driving off
To Italy
Mother Upduff was thinking about the mafia on their way to Italy
And off they went, driving in their automobile
Finally they got to Italy, beautiful old Italy, fantastic sights
Pompeii they went to
They went to Pompeii, they went to Venice, they went to Sicily
They went to Florence, their final stop was Rome
Off to Rome
Rome, there they were in Rome
Old paintings, old buildings, fantastic sights to see
Grandmother Upduff decided she was going out for a walk
Out she went for a walk
Mister and Misses Upduff decided they'd follow
Off they went behind Grandmother Upduff, yelling behind her
Mother Upduff is walking on the street, looking at all the shop windows
Finally, or is it the beginning, Mother Upduff was standing there, watching
In the fish market, a gigantic octopus leaped out off the pool and snatched Grandmother Upduff up
Little do they know what to do, Mother and Father Upduff looked
Not having any money at all
They decided that they would have to wrap her up in a tent
And carry her back to Düsseldorf
Wrapping her up in a tent, putting her on top of the car
And fiercely driving off to Düsseldorf
Off they went back to Düsseldorf
On their way to Düsseldorf, they were still in Italy
They drove into a café to have a cup of coffee
Sipping that cup of coffee up, coming back outside
Their car has been stolen with their luggage

C1. Cutaway
[Recording Engineer]
Holger, can you...
Can you see if you can use
Your modulation frequency in tune with, ah, Holger and Michael?
[Irmin Schmidt]
What, what, what, what, what, what?
[Recording Engineer]
The modulation frequency out of the..., of the generator
[Irmin Schmidt]
Ich hab keinen Rhythmus...
Es geht nicht...
You mean, this one? What should I do with that?
[Recording Engineer]
That, that one
Just try and pick out a pitch that is in tune with the guitars
[Irmin Schmidt]
Yeah, of course, you know, it's possible
[Recording Engineer]
You know, it's common sense
C2. Connection
My connection is your connection
The sun is shining, I see you smile
Turning it over I see the clover
The things that I want, dear, are nothing dull
My connection is your connection
The sun is shining, I see your face
Turning it over I see the clover
The things that I love, dear, are taking the shame
My connection is your connection
The sun that I love, dear, is turning inside
Falling is under the things that I wonder
The light that I bring, dear, is bringing its sight
My connection is your connection
The things that I want, dear, are always in sight
Turning it over I see the clover
The things that I want, dear, are nothing dull
My connection is your connection
The things that I love, dear, are always the same
Turning it over I see in the clover
The things that I love, dear, don't bring the rain
D1. Fall of Another Year
The few people that are turning the world
Are moving ever faster
We'll have to erase so much in your head
Taught by the master
It's hard to believe yourself, dear
But the latest of the hour
Loving while turning in your seat
Fun can't esquire
Painting body they did to us
Painting 'bout any places that you live
Painting 'bout any places bend your eyes
Painting 'bout any places bent to lives
I can't find the place about the day
Can you tell if you could be stay?
Because the fall of another year
Because the fall of another
I fight so hard to ever understand
Will politics ever end?
The mushroom teach his head
Can you say you understand?
Of another year
The fall of another
The fall of another year
Because the fall of another
Because the fall of another year
The fall of another
Of another year
Of another

Mi opinión personal sobre el álbum:
Es más por el importancia histórica que por su contenido. Es música experimental solo para fans de la banda y sobre todo de su primera época.
