Can

Can is an experimental rock group founded in 1968 in West Germany. One of the most influential krautrock collectives, combining elements of ethnic music and minimalism. Can's music was built on free improvisation and processing; this principle was designated by bassist Holger Czukay as "instant compositions." The group's commercial success was incidental (the singles "Spoon" and "I Want More" hit the national charts). However, albums such as "Tago Mago" (1971) and "Ege Bamyasi" (1972) had a significant influence on avant-garde, ambient, new wave, experimental, underground, and electronic music.
