> Sonically and politically, Can's outlook was uniquely European. Their hypnotic music was entirely untouched by the blues, or the pop lineage of the Beatles, Stones and Dylan, yet for years Can has been the key name to drop by anyone from John Lydon and the Fall to Brian Eno and Primal Scream. Dancer Michael Clark has used their music in his choreography, and novelist Alan Warner has dedicated an entire book to bassist Holger Czukay. From underground rock groups to cutting-edge techno artists and DJs, Can's influence has never been greater. < Rob Young |
