Can's Tago Mago
Author: Warner, Alan
ISBN: 9781628921083
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Year first published: 12 Feb 2015
Pages: 152 Format: Paperback / softback
Finally, a brilliant exploration of the German rock band Can's 1971 album Tago Mago. This hugely unique and influential album deserves close analysis from a fan, rather than a musicologist. Novelst Alan Warner details the concrete music we hear on the album, how it was composed, executed and recorded - including the history of the album in terms of its release, promotion and art work. Warner includes a backtracking of the history of the band up to that point and also some description of Can's unique recording approach taking into account their home studio set up.
Interviews with the two surviving members- drummer Jaki Liebezeit, keyboardist Irmin Schmidt and bassist Holger Czukay make this a hilarious and illumating picture of Can.
