YouMa Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Is anyone into Can,i have really got into there stuff at the moment its very original and seems to be a big influence on a lot of bands who have been very good,i never realised the mondays covered hallaluwah as hallalujah. There is some pretty cool and funky bass playing on the documentary im watching about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always meant to get hold of more Can. I thought the Mondays song was not quite a cover... more a 'reimagining', to use the parlance so beloved of film-makers these days. A blatant rip-off.

ahpook Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 i'm a massive fan of can. jaki liebezeit is, imho, one of the best drummers ever, and i'll not even get started on holger czukay's genius minimal bass playing. love them...in fact, when hope sandoval's album has finished, i'm putting on 'future days' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 The remixes are wicked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 One of the albums I played on got compared to Holger Czukay in a magazine review in the mid 80s. Unfortunately it was referring to the tape cut-ups and weird noises on his solo album rather than the cool bass grooves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 yeah Can and Holger Czukay, great stuff. I think Ege Bamyasi might be my overall fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Excellent thread! Soon Over Babaluma is my favourite. Excellent 'relaxation' music if you catch my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the Mondays, but they in particular Jaki Liebezeit, were a big influence on Joy Division too. Not withstanding being an innovative bassist, Holger Czukay was also way ahead as far as sampling too. The 1983 collaboration 'Snakecharmer' between Czukay, Jah Wobble, The Edge & Liebezeit still blows me away. Funky as f*** Edited June 13, 2009 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
