** condition: NM/EX ** "There is no other album like “Future Days”. Subtle, atmospheric music that still retains true musical energy. "Spray" starts off as an experiment of percussion, but the second half demonstrates the more mellow nature of the album, with Irmin Schmidt's organ and Damo Suzuki's often unintelligible singing. “Bel Air” is simply one of the best clumps of sound to ever find its way onto record: at turns both soothing and menacing, it captures musical ‘electricity’ like nothing else. Jaki Liebezeit is more a force of nature than a mere drummer -- his relentless pounding and crashing is like some sort of mystical morse code. The rest of the band, meanwhile, forms a kind of shimmering fog that ebbs and flows around his rhythms. Guitars, keyboards, bass... these distinctions don't really apply in the usual sense here, because all elements have telepathically coalesced into a single organism that can speak freely. Whereas the English bands give us structure and solos, Can gives us organic musical energy flowing freely from the source."
"Can most accomplished LP. There are no ups and downs; listening adventure is mostly linear but that doesn't mean it is monotonous. On the contrary - it is a wonderful music of atmosphere. Production is superb for the time being and most of the engineering and editing credits go to Holger Czukay and Irmin Schmidt who successfully experiment with various keyboards, synths, sound effects and "soundscapes", sometimes reminiscent of Brian Eno's later works. Jaki Liebezeit's drumming is amazing as always, with few more percussions added. Karoli's guitar is moved backwards a bit, and he is more engaged in making sound textures rather than usual solos and chords. A masterpiece of music art."
