CAN – Inner Space (180gr.)

As Sampled by Q-Tip.
Heavy vinyl pressing with the CD thrown in as a bonus! 1979’s, Can (aka Inner Space), the band’s last proper album, was less experimental than its previous releases, with Michael Karoli doing more straightforward vocals and guitar. Having spent the previous decade taking elements of the classical avant-garde (i.e. Karlheinz Stockhausen) and underground rock (i.e Velvet Underground) to create a kind of genreless “new music”-and influencing countless bands in the process-Can had reached the natural end of its journey. Although founding members Irmin Schmidt (keyboards) and Jaki Liebezeit (drums) can still be heard, Rebop Kwaku Baah and Rosko Gee of Traffic fame have been added to the mix, with former bassist Holger Czukay doing the editing.
