Finally, a brilliant exploration of the German rock band Can's 1971
album Tago Mago. This hugely unique and influential album deserves
close analysis from a fan, rather than a musicologist. Novelist Alan
Warner details the concrete music we hear on the album, how it was
composed, executed and recorded--including the history of the album in
terms of its release, promotion and art work. This tale of Tago Mago
is also the tale of a young man obsessed with record collecting in the
dark and mysterious period of pop music before Google. Warner includes
a backtracking of the history of the band up to that point and also
some description of Can's unique recording approach taking into
account their home studio set up. Interviews with the two surviving
members: drummer Jaki Liebezeit, keyboardist Irmin Schmidt and bassist
Holger Czukay make this a hilariously personal and illuminating
picture of Can.
