ILM Artist Poll No. 77 · CAN · Voting Thread [Ends 07/24/16]

I heard Mushroom Head first via J&MC

Yeah, me too: at the Hammersmith Palais, we all decided we liked their new song, and decided it was called "Keep your distance"

yeah I can't believe how difficult this was, Can albums have like 5-6 songs each

The first sides of both "Landed" and "Flowmotion" are great, second sides not so good.

btw this is a wild opinion that i completely disagree with

yeah smoke > flow motion are both fantastic.

out of reach is super fun, confused about its reputation. rite time meanwhile is so dense that idk if I was enjoying as much as enduring it. super weird tho

Probably doesn't help that nobody in Can likes "Out of Reach".

rite time just hit me with beauty the last time i played it like it never before has. always loved a few songs, but the /way/ it sounds is so freakin' lovely
xpost

imo "november" and "seven days awake" are highlights of the can discography

Only album without no Holger involvement too. Couple of songs credited to Rosko Gee and not the band as a whole - I like both of them though.

'without no'? 'with no'!

LAST WEEKEND TO VOTE!
15 BALLOTS COUNTED SO FAR
LAST WEEKEND TO VOTE!

Also if you didn't get a received email back from me it means I didn't get your ballot, I doubt anyone had any trouble with that but just in case.

Anyone shared this performance of vernal equinox yet?

they sound like such a mindblowing band to see live, I haven't seen any video in youtube to make me think otherwise... I don't understand how they didn't take over the whole world back then.

Also this Dont Say No performance from 1977 with Mooney on bass?

Oh no wait hahaha that's Rosko Gee and it's actually Moonshake?

Got thrown off by the top hat.

"Don't Say No" pretty much is "Moonshake".

anybody voting for "last night sleep"

Rosko Gee is Jamaican for Ricky Fatar

Re "Mushroom" - it's funny how the menace and atmosphere of the JAMC cover is carried by Jim moaning "I gotta keep my distance", but they got the lyric wrong. Damo sings "I'm gonna keep my despair" in the original. Love the JAMC's arrangement too, despite Jaki's drum ouroboros being my favourite part of the CAN track.

Moka, what constitutes collab albums? Full Circle, Phew? I'd quite like to give Flux & Mutability or Canaxis a shout in the albums, I'm thinking.

and I've risked the wrath of Moka by asking to update my vote. I had thought I would dislike the self titled album, but then this knocked me out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Es5W-f_2E

"all gates open" kicks fucking ass

Is that on cannibalism 2cd? I feel like it is

Bliss. Secret Jaki disco;

Since we're talking about collabs now, this album is one of the best, Jaki & Holger going absolutely nuts in a way they often did live with Can but not so often in the studio:

Is "Kamera Song" eligible for this poll?

and I've risked the wrath of Moka by asking to update my vote. I had thought I would dislike the self titled album, but then this knocked me out.

It's open I guess, if ILM approves.

o no STARE OF DAMO

I'm gonna vote I promise

Same, we still have a couple days yes?

i argue that everyone should vote for "tape kebab"

I gotta put in a shout got Tango Whiskyman before it's too late to influence anyone. Tango Whiskyman!

gave up and sent in my ballot. got so excited by the stuff i had heard recently that i ended up prioritizing it, but it still felt kinda weird not to vote for "halleluwah"

today it occurred to me that rite time is the sound of can scoring a michael mann film

Ha ha – he did use Kraftwerk in Thief.

Voted!

(xp) Tangerine Dream surely?

There is some other stuff tracked into Thief - I know there's at least one cue by Craig Safan, didn't know about Can?

Sorry meant kraftwerk not can

Voted. Ballot is skewed by me not really being familiar with the post-Landed material, so is a bit 'Now That's What I Call Can' - but basically I couldn't miss this one.

Seeing as people are posting favourite ewetube live clips, may as well -

voted from memory, didn't overthink it, "All Gates Open" is pretty good but it's no "Vernal Equinox" and even that got cut.

Lost Tapes did quite well

I mean fuck I had to cut "Pinch"! that's a hard poll.

Doing my last pass through the catalog today.

Holy shit my bad, yes T. Dream. Mostly from Force Majure. My brain must've been fried by the sun.

So I am a bit confused about the rules: collaborations by members are allowed but solo records aren't? So, no songs from, say, Movies but Phantom Band is ok?

Part of why I'm asking is that I'm not totally sure why Movies wouldn't count but Canaxis would.
