  • Germany's Can are known for concocting an unlikely blend of avant-garde and the primal. Their 1972 album Ege Bamyasi struck a balance between sublimity and chaos that pushed the boundaries of what rock music and a rock band could be.
    Check out Can's new singles compilation, "The Singles", out now on Mute Records:

    Stephen Malkmus once said he listened to this album every night for a year. I know how he feels, this never gets old.

      Stephen Malkmus of Pavement has been quoted as saying "I played Can's Ege Bamyası album every night before I went to sleep for about three years."

    You should have included the fun fact that the band Spoon take their name from the song, "Spoon", on this album.
    Ege Bamyasi tied with Tago Mago as my second favorite CAN album, Future Days being their best imo. All three of these albums are easily 10/10, though, and the follow up to Future Days, Soon Over Babaluma, is only slightly behind these, easily 9.5/10. I rank Future Days as only slightly above the other two bc it's stylistically a more consistent whole, and because, like Babaluma, it explores more ambient, tranquil territory, while maintaining the psych-kraut artistry of of Ege and Tago.
    Imo Tago and Ege are companion/brother(or sister) albums if sorts, as are Future and Babaluma.
    These are the 4 CAN albums you NEED as a music fan, and while the others are great in their ways, CAN these are masterpieces of experimental, psychedelic, and krautrock styles.

      pdg887 he's not that bad but that's not the exact pronunciation of 'bamyası'. we don't stress the words that much as he does. also the last letter' ı ' isn't pronounced like 'uh' or 'wuh', nonetheless he pronounces well despite the fact that he's a foreign-speaker.

      bu albümün ad ve kapak konsepti ile ilgili söylentiler, memleket kalburüstü müzik düşkünleri arasında neredeyse bir tür şehir miti mertebesine ulaşmıştır; açıklık getirmek isterim.
      can (ken okunan) tayfası albümün kapağındaki konserve ege bamyasına bir restoranda rastlamışlardır, doğrudur. ancak mevzuubahis restoran, arkadaşların bir şekilde inandırıldığı üzere güney sahillerimizde değil, albümü kaydettikleri köln’dedir; sene 1972’dir. türk işçilerin bu dönemde artan oranda akın ettirildiği şehirler arasında üst sıralarda yer alan köln’de türk restoranları mantar gibi bitmektedir. stüdyo kayıtlarına ara verdikleri bir öğle üzeri bir şeyler atıştırmak için bu restoranlardan birine dalan can üyelerinden şimdi adını hatırlayamadığım bir tanesi sözkonusu can (can okunan) marka ege bamyası konservesini görür ve “grafiker masrafından kurtulduk arkadaşlar” diyerek konserveyi hemen oracıkta satın alır.* yani diyeceğim her kim başlattıysa etkilenme olayını memleket topraklarına çekmenin alemi yoktur. kaynak bundan altı sene önce londra rough trade shop’ta rastladığım ve yine adını hatırlayamadığım can üzerine bir kitaptır, hikaye kuvvetle muhtemel doğrudur.

      I prefer Ege Bamyasi. It's more seductive, beguiling, and unique. I enjoy its abundance of great pop songs and more condensed structure (the second half of "Soup" is like the entire 2nd LP of Tago Mago boiled down to a super potent, sticky resin). Tago Mago is certainly better recorded, but feels more in line with what other heavy psych and jam bands of the era were doing, and is therefore less special to me.
