Can-Complete Peel Sessions 1973-75

Talk of Krautrock and hell, you have to talk once again about John Peel.

Krautrock, also known as kosmische musik, is a generic name for the experimental music that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s. It is based on the ethnic slur "Kraut", which refers to "a German person" (derived from the name of the pickled cabbage dish sauerkraut, often attributed to Germany), and was coined by the music press in Great Britain, where "Krautrock" found an early and enthusiastic underground following. BBC DJ John Peel in particular is largely credited with spreading the reputation of krautrock outside of the German-speaking world.”-Wikipedia

Can’s status as musical pioneers is very well documented. And I have written enough about John Peel. You mix Can and John Peel, you get stunning music. Can did four sessions for Peel between 1973 and 1975.

Tracklisting:
1.Up The Bakerloo Line With Anne
2.Return To BB City
3.Tape Kebab
4.Tony Wanna Go
5.Geheim (Half Past One)
6.Mighty Girl
Stand out track-"Up The Bakerloo Line With Anne". Damo Suzuki sings in a language only he can understand, but any damn person can enjoy.
