"You! You're losing! you're losing! you're losing! You're losing your VITAMIN C!"

West German experimental Krautrock band Can were best known for their tracks "I Want More", "Vitamin C" and "Spoon". Their albums Ege Bamyasi and Tago Mago are cited as influential by a long list of artists, including David Bowie and Talking Heads. More recently their echoes can be heard in the works of Primal Scream and Gorillaz. This is a very interesting record, who would have thought a German underground music group would have have made EGE  BAMYASI. It still sounds fresh today and if you listen carefully you will hear all the artists who have been influenced by this record. Parts of it remind me of the HAPPY MONDAYS, weird I know. Definitely an album to savior over the barbecue season.
