Can/The Singles (3LP)
Compilation Album On 3LP Set!
CAN, Mute and Spoon Records are pleased to release Can The Singles, a collection of all of the bands single releases on 3LP set.
This unique document is the first time the singles have been presented together and shows the breadth of the group's influential career, from well loved tracks like "Halleluwah", "Vitamin C" and "I Want More" to more obscure singles such as "Silent Night" and "Turtles Have Short Legs".
Can, founded in 1967, released their debut album Monster Movie (1969) which set them apart from the mainstream, carving out a sound that transcended the boundaries of experimental electronic, jazz and modern classical music. Cans influence extends from post-punk musicians such as Joy Division and Primal Scream, through avant-garde composers including Bernhard Lang, to Radiohead. Schmidt himself began his musical career as a pupil of Stockhausen and Ligeti, and conducted numerous high-profile orchestras in his native Germany and abroad. Hearing the sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa in the '60s led to the formation of Can but Schmidt never lost touch with his avant-garde classical upbringing, and it is to Schmidt that Can owed much of its musical eclecticism.
