Can

Soundtracks

Rare original 1970 edition on Liberty of Can's collection of early soundtracks.

** condition: VG (surface noise and occasional clackling) / VG+ (light cover wear) ** "Before beginning work on their second album, Can released the compilation Soundtracks, containing music they'd done for films. Soundtracks was released mainly to capitalize on the success of the band's debut in their native Germany, and is often overlooked by listeners expecting only throwaways and outtakes. In truth, most (but not all) of the songs don't extend the same artistic reach as those on either Monster Movie or the subsequent records, but they're hardly throwaways. In particular, "Mother Sky" has an intensity matching anything on the debut, and new vocalist Damo Suzuki's presence lends the tight-lipped drone a sedated, half-gone feel that only advances its tranced-out cause. "Tango Whiskeyman" and "Don't Turn the Light On, Leave Me Alone" are short, beat-dominated variations on Can's version of pop, while "She Brings the Rain" (featuring Mooney) cuts out the drums entirely in favor of jazzy torch balladry."
