Jaki Liebezeit was the most underrated drummer this planet has ever seen... One of the greatests...

[@tomteanders1357]

To me he was the greatest, that I knew. This song is the proof. 😊💚

[@olafkunert6368]

Saw him live in the 90s several times playing sessions with different musicians weekly for very little money.
After that I can't imagine a drummer who is actually better.

[@chadkelham5034]

Jaki was a drumming machine with plenty of groove

[@Schwertfisch13]

He is definately the most underrated. Even the rubbish " most underrated drummers" lists don't even mention this Behemoth of drumming. He is among the GOAT for me.

[@The_Hagseed]

The breakbeat he came up with for Vitamin C was ahead of it's time. With all the sampling in 80's hip hop, it's really surprising that it didn't get used until 3rd Base split up and Pete Nice used on his first solo album in the 90's.

[@EyMeng]

slowly the earth is recognizing this album as one of the best in rock

[@alexblock2248]

EyMeng It is very influential on punk, electronical music this album has definitely has had it audience for sure

[@dennisbenzle7493]

[@humzahj.]

It's weird I don't know why so many Can fans love this song and this album so much. I think this song is ok, and the album is definitely one of the better Can albums, but best? I prefer both soundtracks and Ege Bamyasi, maybe that's just me though

[@Syfoll]

@@humzahj. I think it's because it's a very specific album. All the songs go well with each other. They all fit the same aesthetic. And the album's flow from one track to another is also amazing.

You can hear Can's influence on Post-Punk, Hip-Hop, Post-Rock, Electronic music, everything that came after...Massive Attack, the Minutemen, Talk Talk, and any more. You can hear a little Can in them all.

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

100%. You can debate which Can album is the greatest all you want, Tago Mago is the most unhinged of them all by a wide wide margin. Like musicians somehow going into a pre-consciousness state of mind and just unloading every idea they had, cohesively, onto a spiralling, unfolding genius album.

Exactly. I’m a big Monday’s fan and just heard CAN this past year thanks to The immensely talented Joy Dwyer of The Osees giving credit where credits due.

Tago Mago is the second studio album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released as a double LP in August 1971 on the United Artists label. It was the band's first album to feature Damo Suzuki after the 1970 departure of previous vocalist Malcolm Mooney.[5] Recorded in a rented castle near Cologne, the album features long-form experimental tracks blending funk rhythms, avant-garde noise, jazz improvisation, and electronic tape editing techniques.
Tago Mago has been described as Can's best and most extreme record in sound and structure.[6] The album has received much critical acclaim since its release and has been cited as an influence by various artists. Drowned in Sound called it "arguably the most influential rock album ever recorded."[7] -- from Wikipedia

18 and a half minutes long and it's not long enough, if you ask me. This is the most faithful musical reproduction of losing your mind then regaining your bearings I've heard.
