Can: Mother Sky (Soundtracks 1970 Krautrock classic) Posted by: suburbanbatherson
Video duration: 183 seconds Soundtracks bridges the Mooney & Suzuki phases of Can, and in lesser hands such an album could potentially sound uneven.... But CAN ended up producing some amazing film music with both singers getting a chance to shine. Here the thunderous, majestic Mother Sky accompanies a sci-fi junk-gem from a more simple era. Jaki's drumming here is some of the best you will ever hear in rock.
