The only Can album to feature vocals by both Malcolm Mooney (who had recently left the group due to some weird nervous breakdown on stage) and Damo Suzuki, who was about to be a part of Can's most creative period. There are some seriously good rock improvisations on here which were created for german films of the time (five different flicks). Story goes that Irmin Schmidt was the only member to have actually seen the movies and he would lead the others during the jams so that they would keep with the ambience the films were meant to portray. The first track, Deadlock, is a very dramatic number which reminds me of the music Blonde Redhead would make twenty years later. Mother Sky is a monster session at fifteen minutes. Of the two Mooney tracks, Soul Desert and She Brings The Rain, the latter is the most interesting with it's jazz-tinged guitar work. |
