Limited Edition Clear Purple Vinyl LP!
Mute is excited to announce the reissue of Can's Soundtracks on limited edition clear purple vinyl.
Soundtracks, a compilation of songs Can had composed for different movies, was released in 1970 before the band started work on their second album. This record said goodbye to the band's original vocalist, Malcolm Mooney, who features on "Soul Desert" and "She Brings The Rain," to be replaced by Japanese singer Damo Suzuki. Bridging the gap between the improvisatory rock jams of their earlier recordings, Monster Movie and Delay 1968, Soundtracks also laid the foundations for their more electronic and experimental work, such as Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi.
Can's powerful influence has never diminished, and their indelible mark is apparent in the bands who freely acknowledge their importance - from Portishead, James Murphy, Sonic Youth, New Order, Factory Floor, Public Image Ltd, Mogwai, Madlib and Radiohead - as well as across other disciplines such as visual art and literature.
...[O]ften overlooked... [A] good sampling of their more straightforward experiments.
