Can - ".....'And More' (Westbam Mix)" From the album Sacrilege (1997)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Not sure how this entered my music collection, but it's definitely the first Can record I ever had, which is weird, considering how it's not really a Can record. It's a drum and bass record or a progressive or ambient house record, if not quite a Fancy-Restaurant-Music record.

In the liner notes, Brian Eno (somewhat clumsily) says that "any attempt to do anything rhythmic against Jaki [Liebezeit, Can drummer] is an insult to his beautiful, spare playing, and just fills up the gaps he so gracefully left. Turning things into loops destroys the delicate balance [Can] always kept between the mechanical and the human."

Not sure that Mr. Eno nails it, but he's in the neighborhood. The thing is that remixers (endlessly, and as Eno recognizes, loopingly) rely on the drum breaks from '60's and '70's soul and funk music, while Jaki Liebezeit sounds nothing at all like that. He's toms, not snares, and he's beat-behind, not beat-forward. So this record recorded from pieces and bits sounds nothing like the band that inspired it. You might think that machines like samplers and TR-808s would be an excellent way to mimic the beats of a drummer who so publicly expressed his admiration for the music of the machine, but no: they don't get it done.

It's nice to upon occasion to listen (especially while mobile) to stuff that drops the bass in the same fashion as so much of the annoying and graceless music you hear on the streets. And the artifacts of the Can songs left in the remixes remind me as I listen that whoa, it's so much better. But I'd really just rather listen to Ege Bamyasi

Westbam - Celebration Generation (Official Video HQ)

[fundgruber]

Jetzt muß man aber dazu sagen: Ich habe schon immer auch diesen Hang zur Pop-Culture gehabt. Die Flucht aus dem Kulturdings in dieses Banal hinein. Aber daß man sozusagen das geile Banale und das Geile der Pop-Culture und dieses prolligen Abfahrens: daß man davon weg will, und eigentlich in so ein Guggenheim Museum oder sonst etwas hinein will: das ist genau die Bewegung, die die meisten Leute eher haben. Und da bewegen sich die Sachen in verschiedene Richtungen. Wobei ich ja trotzdem - ich habe dann doch immer - oder vielleicht ist das auch eine Lebenslüge - aber immer schon die Tendenz, das - wenn ich es weiterdenke - immer wieder als wahre Kultur und die wahre Kunst auch zu sehen. [...] Aber dadurch, daß es banal sein will, daß es nicht ins Museum will, sondern hinein in die Charts letztenendlich.
