Can - Tago Mago

Spoon CD 006/7 (recorded 1971)

Spoon SA6/7 (remastered). 2004

Same deal as below regarding original/remaster. Same deal as below regarding why this is so damn good.

I could live without the 17 minute psychedelic delay-fest that is Aumgn, and I'm borderline indifferent to the casio-keyboard style bossanova fun of Peking O, but that still leaves 44 minutes of essentialnessity.

The seamless segueing of the first three tracks, Paperhouse, Mushroom, Oh Yeah, is a joy, and surely amongt the best 20 minute sections of music ever.

Any drummers out there like to confirm that Jaki Liebezeit must be double-tracking the drums on Mushroom? Or has the guy got 5 arms?

Oh Yeah.
