Hypnotic Psychedelic Freak-Outs From 1970
SOUNDTRACKS
\CAN/
\ GERMAN - LIBERTY - LBS 83 437
Among piles of vintage collectible vinyl albums way out West, scored this minty copy of the great 1970 CAN Lp ...both the cover and record are clean, been in careful hands....
The undisputed highlight of the album is the great 15-minute jam "Mother Sky." Insistent and propulsive (Holger Czukay could make the simplest bass repetition sound totally irresistible), the addition of Damo Suzuki's crazy rambling vocals was the final ingredient to Can's classic sound. Whether you view the track as the perfection of the style that Can began with Monster Movie or the first example the more mature direction the band took on Tago Mago, you'd have to agree that it is quintessential Can. Nobody else in 1970 sounded anything like them.
Released in 1970, Soundtracks brings together various tracks recorded for the films Cream; Deadlock; Bottom; Deep End; and Madchen mit Gewalt. Overall this is a classic psychedelic underground album that features hints of the distinctive Can sound; a sound that would become more fully developed over successive albums and reach a peak with Future Days (1973).
The lineup at this point was transitional and featured singer Malcolm Mooney on two tracks including Soul Desert and She Brings the Rain along with vocalist Damo Suzuki on the remainder of the tracks. Damo went on to record with the band for their definitive works released during the 1971-1973 timeframe. Damo's vocal style and texture is of the "avant-garde" approach. The core band included Holger Czukay (bass guitar); Michael Karoli (electric guitar); Jaki Liebzeit (drums and percussion); and Irmin Schmidt (keyboards).
The seven tracks on the album range in length from 1:40 to the wild, psychedelic freakout jam on Mother Sky (14:30). Highlights include the spacey/trippy Deadlock pieces and the track from Cream. Deadlock, Tango Whiskeyman, Soul Desert, Mother Sky, and the fantastic Don't Turn the Light On, Leave me Alone come the closest to the hypnotic grooves that characterized their later work, although still remaining very psychedelic. Deadlock is an excellent instrumental that features excellent playing on a pipe organ and She brings the Rain (with Malcolm Mooney in one of his more restrained performances) is an extremely "cool" jazzy piece with a very catchy groove goin' on....
