Can's prolific sophomore release Tago Mago. After the original singer's nervous breakdown, Can found their new lead vocalist busking on the street of Germany. I'm not sure where music would be without this album, they obviously inspired Radiohead's Kid A period, the Happy Mondays baggy sound, and the list goes on and on ... Record one features four numbers, songs with structure and weight, while the second record is a sound-scaped cut up of Musique Concrete, which is cute in theory, but is totally unlistenable and is a complete write-off. All in all this album is a corner stone of music history, a lot of the sounds and beats we love today wouldn't exist if Can didn't do it first!
