Can - Future Days


Future Days is a mystery. I don't know if they knew what were they doing or simply they're out of their minds. Or both, which is more incredible. Ambient music? So they say today. But there was no such term back in 1973, was there? I was there, but barely there. Like 11 years old, waking up. I bought the LP years later in a discount bin in São Paulo. It was the 80's, disgusting times for a head music lover. Could't believe it was so good after years hearing people putting German rock down. Went back there and bought another copy. The drummer, Jaki Liebzeit, is a master that glues everything together. Here we are, Future Days are here. I don't think we can see that happening again.
