Album Notes
Recorded live between 1973 and 1975.
This collection of songs Can recorded for John Peel's radio show find the band in its peak period (1973-75), pumping on all cylinders. A real treat for Can collectors, most of the tracks here were improvised, and none exist on studio recordings, so this is something of a "lost" Can album. Much of the album is taken up two extended pieces, "Tony Wanna Go" and "Up the Bakerloo Line With Anne," both of which feature swaths of fuzz guitar and jazzy drumming over intense, minimalist structures. The other tracks opt for a bit of a lower-key groove and make more use of varied atmospheric textures, but all stand to prove why Can is regarded as one of the seminal outfits of German experimental rock.

Editorial Reviews
7 (out of 10) - ...improvising, for over an hour, is what this collection is about....strokes of percussive genius and mood music that have transported these sexagenarian Germans to the top of crypto-Beasties hip lists in a way that will never be said of Gentle Giant...
NME (10/21/1995)

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...surely the greatest and scariest improvisers in rock history....they illustrate explicitly what these never-to-be-equalled, dangerously gifted madmen were capable of: white- knuckled genius...
Q (12/01/1995)

...essential stuff; if only for the 19-minute `Up The Bakerloo Line With Annie,' an epic piece of future-shock trip-hop...
Rolling Stone (06/13/1996)

...why not gobble down a few blotters and--whee! It's a trip and a half. Paintings leap off the walls in technicolour; you look in the mirror and you have transformed into Medusa; Frank Zappa is yer best friend....makes Captain Beefheart sound like an advertising jingle...
Melody Maker (11/04/1995)
