#JAH WOBBLE EDGE THE HOLGER CZUKAY SNAKE CHARMER RAR FREE#
Can came together circa 1968 at the hands of double bassist Czukay, classically trained pianist Irmin Schmidt (also a student of Karlheinz Stockhausen), free jazz drummer Jaki Liebezeit, and rock guitarist Michael Karoli.
( Below, watch the videos for his “Good Morning Story” and “Cool In the Pool,” both of which showcase Czukay’s delightfully whimsical sense of humor.). Although he was speaking to me from overseas, I could picture him grinning broadly as we talked, offering a mischievous little giggle from time to time as he reflected on his work over the years and his ultimate legacy, of which he was deeply proud-but there was no hint of ego or vanity, for the easy-going way we conversed suggested he was a man very much comfortable in his own skin. Just this music will do.’ And it turned out exactly this way.” Indeed. But as I said at the very beginning to all the others, ‘This, what we do here, will become one day our life insurance that we give our children, and you don’t need to make insurance contracts with insurers. Speaking to me in 1999 in an interview to promote the archival release Can Box Czukay observed how in the band’s time, “Can was never very successful, commercial-wise. The group’s groundbreaking sound, a throbbing cauldron of psychedelia, dub/funk, jazz improv and warped worldbeat, influenced artists as diverse as The Fall, Gang of Four, PiL, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Sonic Youth and Stereolab, and the group’s back catalog continues to inspire new generations who whiff Can’s rare essence. Among the great German bands of the ‘60s and ‘70s none stand taller than Can. Later he studied music under avant-garde composer Karlheinz Stockhausen from 1963 to 1966 and eventually became a fan of underground rock music-which of course would lead to co-founding Can, for whom he oversaw most of their recordings as primary engineer. While growing up he took a job at a radio repair shop and became familiar with engineering and electronics, in particular shortwave radio.
