Propaganda:

Can used to record improvising on one song for six or more hours, and then edit these day-long recordings into single 3-10 minute complete songs, using only stereo magnetic tape and razorblades. Jaki was so metronomic and consistent that even on his most complicated beats, he would be at exactly the same tempo six hours apart, making the edits seamless and undetectable.

348: Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit // Full Circle

Full Circle Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit 1982, Virgin

One-off forces-joining of founding Can guys Jaki Liebezeit (drums) and Holger Czukay (too many instruments to get into here) with ur-dub bassist Jah Wobble of Public Image Ltd, Full Circle is the rare “supergroup” album that genuinely does sound pretty much exactly like you would imagine it would based on the C.V.s of the guys involved. This is a good thing: five bass-driven jams that move like a slinky walking down a flight of stairs in slow motion, and one freaky club track that seems like it could genuinely get a room going even on the normal side of town. Full Circle is a much easier listen than basically any PiL or Can record, which I suppose means it’s less “challenging,” but sometimes that’s okay—this is just another chapter in the story of three guys who understand rhythm about as well as anyone on the planet, and it’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to listen in.

The format is mostly Liebezeit and Wobble locking into a low-key groove and seamlessly developing it over five to ten minutes, while Czukay adds a variety of peculiar noises over top using organ, guitar, French horn, and a proto-sampling technique he called “rhythm painting.” Admittedly, a lot of the songs don’t give the sense that they’re going anywhere, exactly, but I like music that has a ton going on that also seems optimized to become the ambient texture of an experience. It’s the difference between walking through a squeegeed hallway and an alley covered in graffiti—I might not be reading every tag, but moving through all these rugged human details keeps my brain ready for the possibilities of the night.
