Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9068CD
1998 reissue, originally released in 1984. "The record has an interestingly stately air to it, considering Polly Eltes' breathy, quirky vocals and Michael Karoli's apparent fascination with variations on reggae rhythms (not too surprising, considering the spiritual link between Can and the output of Jamaican mixers.)" -- All Music Guide


Artist: PHANTOM BAND
Title: Nowhere
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9069CD
1998 reissue, orginally released in 1984. A combination of spacey electro-pop, dub and dark avant-rock influences, Phantom Band is one of the most authentically weird, essential and yet surprisingly overlooked organisms orbiting the Can universe. This is the third and final album from the project, masterminded by Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit, featuring Dominik von Senger (Dunkelziffer, Damo Suzuki Band/Network) on guitar, Helmut Zerlett (e.g. Dunkelziffer, Unknown Cases) on keyboards and Sheldon Ancel on vocals. Mixed and processed by Holger Czukay.

Artist: SCHMIDT, IRMIN
Title: Gormenghast
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9139CD
2000 release. Extracts from Irmin Schmidt's Fantasy Opera Gormenghast: "A phantasmagorical soundworld of electronics, symphony orchestra and pounding beats which envelopes singers who effortlessly stretch from pop to classical virtuosity." "The sheer range of 'sensurround' sound is bewildering, loud, sensuous, always intriguing, especially the rustles of exotic percussion emerging from around the auditorium. If Richard Strauss had written rock music, this is what it would have sounded like -- gloriously, unashamedly lush." -- The Times


Artist: SCHMIDT AND KUMO, IRMIN
Title: Masters Of Confusion
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9161CD
2001 release. "Aptly titled Masters of Confusion is the first recorded fruit of the collaboration between Irmin Schmidt, founder member of the legendary German avant garde rock group Can, and Kumo, the artist name of drum programmer, sound engineer and producer Jono Podmore. For this album, Kumo spontaneously constructs, collapses and reshuffles towercards of rhythms sprayed with pointillist beats, over, under and between which Irmin's grand piano and keyboards dance with the poise of a Nuevo Tango player, the reflex of a gymnast and the wit of a joker on the run. Quite naturally the music carries traces of their combined experiences, which range over raging rock and incantatory trance improvisations, contemporary composition, techno and drum 'n bass." -- Wire


Artist: CAN

Catalog #: SPOON 9291CD

Artist: CAN
Title: Delay 1968
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD/SACD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9316CD
2006 remastered edition, with expanded artwork by Can. New liner notes by John Gill. Hybrid SACD, designed to play in stereo on both CD and SACD players, as well as SACD-compatible DVD players. Delay 1968 features classic early recordings with Malcolm Mooney on vocals, recorded in Nörvenich, Germany in 1968-69, not released until 1981. Ultimately, one of the best Can albums -- infused w/ the spirit of '68, even if in somewhat primitive form, and the sonic upgrades in this Spoon remaster series are consistently desirable. "A collection of cuts featuring early vocalist Malcolm Mooney, these seven songs are among the very first Can ever recorded; while nowhere near as intricate or assured as the group's later work, the visceral energy of tracks like the deranged 'Uphill' and 'Butterfly' is undeniable." -- Jason Ankeny.

Artist: CAN
Title: Ege Bamyasi
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9378CD
2007 remastered release. The group's fourth album, from 1972, originally issued by United Artists. "The follow-up to Tago Mago is only lesser in terms of being shorter; otherwise the Can collective delivers its expected musical recombination act with the usual power and ability. Liebezeit, at once minimalist and utterly funky, provides another base of key beat action for everyone to go off on -- from the buried, lengthy solos by Karoli on 'Pinch' to the rhythm box/keyboard action on 'Spoon'. Liebezeit and Czukay's groove on 'One More Night', calling to mind a particularly cool nightclub at the end of the evening, shows that Stereolab didn't just take the brain-melting crunch side of Can as inspiration."


Artist: SCHMIDT AND KUMO, IRMIN
Title: Axolotl Eyes
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD/DVD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9391CD
"Irmin Schmidt, founding member of the legendary German avant-garde rock group Can, and breakbeat pioneer, producer and Professor Of Popular Music, Kumo (aka Jono Podmore) release a brand new album, for your listening enjoyment. Schmidt & Kumo's latest album of electronic experimentalism features Kumo's shimmering grooves, subterranean bass, Theremin and violin providing the perfect foil for Schmidt's peerless and enduringly adventurous playing. Unlike their 2001 debut -- Masters Of Confusion, largely put together by extrapolating snatches of music from Schmidt's opera Gormenghast -- Axolotl Eyes is very much a studio recording. As a bonus, the studio album is accompanied by a 5.1 surround sound DVD of the sound installation Flies, Guys, and Choirs, first conceived for London's Barbican Centre in 2001. The work combines surreally creating images from nature with subtle, quietly forceful environmental music." The DVD is PAL format, with 112 mins video and audio.


Artist: CAN
Title: Soon Over Babaluma
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9424CD
"Classic Can releases available on standard CD again for the first time in years. Previously only available on SACD. Low list price of only $9.98. Originally released in 1974, Can's fifth album has Schmidt and Karoli taking over vocal duties after the departure of Kenji Suzuki. While a little less intense than previous Can albums, Babaluma displays beautiful, lighter and jazzier rhythms."


Artist: CAN
Title: Soundtracks
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9425CD
"Malcolm Mooney passes the baton to Damo Suzuki for Soundtracks, a collection of film music featuring contributions from both vocalists. The dichotomy between the two singers is readily apparent: Suzuki's odd, strangulated vocals fit far more comfortably into the group's increasingly intricate and subtle sound, allowing for greater variation than that allowed by Mooney's stream-of-consciousness discourse."


Artist: CAN
Title: Delay 1968
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9437CD
2007 remastered release. "Although recorded in the late '60s, the material included on Can's Delay 1968 did not appear commercially until 1981. A collection of cuts featuring early vocalist Malcolm Mooney, these seven songs are among the very first Can tunes ever recorded."


Artist: CAN
Title: Tago Mago
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: 2CD
Price: $18.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9519CD
"The new 40th Anniversary Edition of this genre-defying album comes packaged in the original UK artwork for the first time since 1971, and includes a bonus CD featuring (almost) fifty minutes of unreleased live material from 1972, remastered in 2011. Tago Mago, the first album with Damo Suzuki on vocals, features the Can line up of Holger Czukay on bass, Michael Karoli on guitars, Jaki Liebezeit on drums and Irmin Schmidt on keyboards, and was recorded at Schloss Norvenich in 1971, released later that year on United Artists. Can's influence is well known and far-reaching and the impact they made on music is felt today as keenly as it ever has been. They themselves have always been impossible to classify and reflecting this, the scope of artists who in recent years have cited Can as a major influence is varied. Of all the band's oeuvre, Tago Mago has been most often cited as an influence for a host of artists including John Lydon, Radiohead, the Fall, Ariel Pink, Fuck Buttons, Sonic Youth, Factory Floor and Queens Of The Stone Age."


Artist: CAN
Title: Monster Movie
Label: SPOON/MUTE (UK)
Format: CD/SACD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: SPOON 9271CD
2004 remastered edition, with expanded artwork by Can. hybrid SACD, designed to play in stereo on both CD and SACD players, as well as SACD-compatible DVD players. Reissue of the first Can album, originally issued in 1969. "Can's debut is the only full-length, proper release to feature original vocalist Malcolm Mooney, whose free-form ranting is matched by a raw, aggressive dynamic unlike anything else in the group's canon; driving, dissonant songs like the extraordinary 'Father Cannot Yell' and 'Outside My Door' even owe a rather surprising debt to psychedelia and garage rock. More indicative of things to come is the closer 'Yoo Doo Right,' a 20-minute epic built on the kinds of hypnotic motifs and minimal rhythms which quickly became Can trademarks." -- Jason Ankeny. Last copies, deleted edition.
