blows my mind that this was released in 79'
Then you listen to Can's record Tago Mago and you realize all of this shit was done even before that!
Also Silver Apples are worth a listen if you really wanna venture down that road.
oh yea I'm a huge can fan. Ege bamyasi is one of my all time favorite albums. Silver apples is pretty sweet, didn't really get into em as much as I thought I would but definitely respect for that sound so early on.
That particular This Heat track sounds like a proto 90s dnb neurofunk track to me for some reason lol
started the day off with some midnight
Of course Holger would die a day later
He was my absolute favorite member of Can as I always got the feeling he was a bit of the "kook" (I mean this in the most endearing way possible) of the group. Just a brilliant creative type, who always struck me as being quite out to left field and endlessly upbeat.
It always annoyed me whenever I'd read some of the Krautrock book's or the Can book, and they'd interview Irmin or Jaki and any issue the band experienced later in their existence was generally blamed on Holger.
Anyways, I always found it interesting and perfect sense that Holger was personal friends with Lee Perry, and of course Brian Eno. Just sound geniuses that will never be replicated. Holger was also remarkable in the fact that he is often cited as the "godfather" of the practice of sampling which in his own right earns him credit in genres spanning beyond his own practice.
