Rock / Krautrock / Experimental / Alternative / Prog Rock / Reggae
The record has an interestingly stately air to it, considering Polly Eltes' breathy, quirky vocals and Michael Karoli's apparent fascination with variations on reggae rhythms (not too surprising, considering the spiritual link between Can and the output of Jamaican mixers.) The complete set would be more compelling and striking, though, if there were a little more focus – Karoli and Eltes spend quite a bit of time simply drifting into thematic hooks, leaving the listener in limbo for too long on a regular basis. When it clicks, though, it is excellent.
What with latter-day Can albums being the extremely mixed bags-o-tricks they are, I'd been passing copies of this for over a decade before I actually took the plunge and bought it as a cut-out. Polly Eltes had been lovely diddling herself on the cover of Roxy Music's "Country Life" album, but could she sing?… Apparently so. I put it on and… damn! Nothing like I would've expected from Karoli, nothing Krautrock about it, but all of Karoli's off-modal flibbertigibbetery channelled into a kind of baroque bounce-ponderosa/reggae/dub/funk/skronk stew, reminiscent most of all of the so many great singles Rough Trade was putting out circa 79-81: think Essential Logic, "Kitchen Tapes" Raincoats, all the early Scritti Politti stuff up through "Sweetest Girl," the Ubu of "Modern Dance" and especially "Dub Housing", with the densely layered percussives of late Swell Maps and a spicing of "Unbehagen"-era Nina Hagen Band. A treat. Wish they'd done more. This edition apparently includes lots of outtakes from the original vinyl edition, most featuring Can drummer Jaki Leibezeit on drums.
