Tago Mago is named after an island in the Balearics which is pronounced tah-go mah-go

That's one of the stories they give, the other is that it's the name of a magician. I always thought it was just a rip-off of "Ummagumma" (see also "Hallogallo" by Neu!)

Doesn't Tago Mago the place have some connection with Aleister Crowley? Hence the magician reference.

Ah! Could be!

there's one boring track on every Can album (except "Monster Movie")

And Future Days. I've listened to it about 50 times--haven't been bored for a second.

I dug up my LP of "Tago Mago" yesterday. The one with the live shot and the 'envelope' opening at the back.

sigh.
