Live in Stuttgart 1975

"Their studio albums solidified Can's reputation as one of the most important and groundbreaking bands of their time, but Stuttgart 1975 exemplifies how that creative spirit translated to the stage, highlighting yet another side of Can's limitless ability".

"With the supernatural telepathy between Irmin Schmidt, Holger Czukay, Michael Karoli and Jaki Liebezeit flaring at full force on five lengthy untitled improvisations, there are moments here when the jaw hangs in disbelief that such a miraculously special monster mutant could have ever stalked the planet ... Colossally vital".

"This 1975 set captures the band reconnecting with the psych-rock fury of its primordial years, drawing from a cleaned-up recording of a super-fan's tape ... Sure, 90 minutes of free-flowing instrumental workouts may seem daunting to more casual Can fans who prefer their kosmische musik spiked with more digestible doses of "Vitamin C." But devoted heads who surrender to the tide will no doubt emerge from Live in Stuttgart 1975 with another Can maxim in mind: I want more".

"The fact the keepers of the Can vault have been sitting on a recording as transcendent as this for nearly half a century seems someweher between absurd and criminal. Nevertheless, devotees will forgive that once they experience the first of the long-promised series of live albums shepherded by Irmin Schmidt and longtime engineer René Tinner ... The five instrumental pieces are a mesmerising mélange of first-division psych boogie, spacy langour and the thunderous assaults known to the players as "Godzillas". Though fans will be thrilled to catch passages of staples like "Vitamin C" and "Bel Air" amid the swirl, more startling is how funky the band could be, with the most strident moments achieving the same apotheosis of strut and skronk as electric-era Miles Davis. Indispensable, but that's no surprise".
