Reviews (page 6 of 8)
I enjoyed Future Days. Vocals kinda weak
I think it’s interesting but just interesting for the sake of it rather than providing good to listen to music.3/5
And so continues the EP/album debate. Four songs? An ep for me. Still, enjoyable experimental stuff where coherent melodies sometimes break out.
This was fine. The instrumentals are nice, but the songs are pretty long. I get that this is more experimental.
3.75
Better than the other one. Still not something I'm going to put on on purpose. Best track: Future Days
Bel Air was very very Radiohead.
Pleasant, but I don’t think I’ll come back to it
3 Instrumental music with a good beat. It’s very unique
Meh! A bit wishy washy, nothing bad as background music but I wouldn't listen to this unless I was in an elevator
I feel like it took me into the second song to even figure out what genre this was. Which is saying a lot because most songs were over 10 minutes. Apparently this is in the vein of kraftwerk. A lot more grooves though and atmosphere.
Very atmospheric. I was very engaged with the sound production that the titular track Future Days didn’t even feel like it was 9 minutes long, because it passed me by with such ease. Listening to this felt like I was going on an underwater submarine journey, with the mellow vocals and groovy tropical beats. It’s quite a novel album. I would have rated it at least a 4, but I can’t see proper replay value.
ok
Future Days is the second album recommended to me from Can. Most of the album was hovering right in the middle between 3 and 4 stars, but by the last track I felt myself getting impatient with the music and enjoying it less. The music can be interesting. Can's music had hints of the Syd Barrett / psychodelia era of Pink Floyd, or perhaps the Nice. The album feels like it should be grouped with Progressive Rock, but a more jazz influenced version of progressive rock - similar to some of the work from King Crimson.
Not as great as Tago Mago. It was more ambient, less vocals. Still enjoyed it. Love that I discovered CAN.
Neu! at #668 just prompted me to go back and find the krautrock album I missed, and I can now say that Can's "Future Days" gets me no closer to understanding the genre, other than to know that it all sounds different. Of the options presented (Faust, Kraftwerk, Can, and Neu!) I prefer Can. It is the one that feels most listenable, and also somehow most experimental. It's also all over the place. So maybe it does fit with krautrock? I'm not a big ambient fan, but the ambient parts were ok. I'm not a huge jazz fan, but the jazz rock bits were ok. Overall, "Future Days" is ok, which it turns out is high praise for a krautrock album.
This album hits a lot of notes for a Prog Rock effort. Long, sweeping melodies with minimal lyrics that almost approach a Jam Band level of improvisation. Where this album deviates though is that it embraces some of the newer electronic elements that weren't quite as common at the time, making Psychedelia a major piece of this.
Cool album but most of the time it fades to background noise.
Can't
Super fusion fun.
I could see myself having this on in the background.
I like CAN.
I didn't even realize this album had ended. Weird, groovy music that works well as mood music.
I like the simplicity of the band name Can. It’s so basic, it’s somewhat startling. Is it a declaration of optimism, or is it a container of beans? Who can say? Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Moonshake My thoughts on this tended to yo-yo as I listened. I quite liked Future Day, but then Spray felt like a drag. Then I enjoyed Moonshake, but Bel Air had me checking several times how much longer until it was done. And then that’s it. Another four song album, which takes up 41 minutes. I guess with the standard 15 song album of 3 minute songs, if there is something you don’t like then there may be plenty more that you do. With albums like this, if you don’t like two songs, then that’s half of the album gone. Overall, I’d lean slightly more towards liking the album than disliking it, but I don’t expect I’ll be revisiting it any time soon.
Enjoyable and quirky, but backgroundy however
A lot more musically subtle than Can's previous releases and a lost less reliant on vocals. Overall an excellent piece of music, filled with countless moments of beauty, as is the rest of their catalog, and though this maybe a controversial opinion, but I'd put Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi above this album.
Atmospheric etc
Less "experimental" than I thought. Also less Kraftwerk-adjacent than I expected. Honestly it's almost a lo-fi album with some surfer music influences. The only thing that keys this into being an experimental German rock album is that one of the tracks is over 20 minutes long. But it ain't bad! I've heard worse.
Neat, chill, interesting. Def want to check out more by these guys.
Vocals were hard to make out even at higher volume. Boppin tunes though
Neat. Didn't find any of this particularly compelling but it was pleasant background music. I thought the drums were especially good.
When I saw 4 tracks at 40 mins total time I knew it was going to be something unusual! Didn’t mind it though, they were def on some shit when they wrote this
Eh, bit mellow.
Nice listen. I can't say I'm blown away, but I definitely enjoyed it. Great ambient album. High 3 stars
Decent, but probably wouldn't listen again.
revoir l’assaisonnement ça manque d’un truc
interesting, for some reason i got a lot of Santana out of it, despite being German
Too much insanity. Even for Can.
Not bad. I'm not a hip-hop person, but there is a bit of everything here.
Kinda cool, kinda weird. Overall not bad. Probably won't listen again but wasn't a waste of my time.
It was better than I expected and I have to admit, I enjoyed it. Sounded more like background music, but that's okay. Hard to believe this was released in 1973, even today it has a "futuristic" sound to it, at least what we think the future should sound like... I guess the future is a lot closer than we think, right?
Can est un bon album de prog/rock/ ? J'Aime le style et ca s'écoute bien. Très éclaté dans le bon sens. 3.80
Would have never guessed this came out in 1973. Seems like it was way ahead of its time. Not really my thing though.
Very easy listening.
I did NOT expect to enjoy this album, but damn, I kind of did! It was off to a slow start and my initial reaction was… not positive. But the music was actually interesting and far more contemporary to my ear than expected for 1973.
Some interesting parts, some boring parts. It was fine.
Not hard to listen to, but really a pointless inclusion on the list.
What a unorthodox album! Long invididual tracks that consist of hardly more than trippy & psychodelic ambiance music and about the same amount of vocals as the "Next Stop"-announcement on Public transport
Rating: 5/10
Really enjoyed the title track. Things got a bit shaky for me in Spray... This is not a kind of sound experiment I can easily cope with, I find it super stressful. Really enjoy the International influences and find it really exciting to listen out for certain snippets of interesting bits. Found Future Days really lovely pretty interesting and cool but also really relaxing. It's mad the contrast between how these different songs affected me. I also found Moonshake quite charming! I have mixed feelings.
Some pretty mad bits but altogether quite a cool album
Intéressant son expérimental, mais un manque un peu de drive. À réessayer.
Ce n'est pas une écoute facile. Faut être dans le mood d'écouter un album de longues pièces majoritairement instrumentales qui prennent le temps d'installer une ambiance. Une fois qu'on sait ça, c'est bien construit. On embarque dans l'aventure et on suit jusqu'au bout. Pièce préférée: Moonshake
While this album wasn't bad, it also wasn't awful. A bit mundane and repetitive, but not in an annoying sort of way. The song "Moonshake" is quite good, but unfortunately it is a 3 minute song on an album of 41 minutes with only 4 songs! This would get a 2, but with Moonshake, I'll give it a 3.
Interesting. Not great. Can (and krautrock generally) is always on my "need to check out" category but then I do and I'm underwhelmed. I think I just need to accept that I like 3 minute pop songs and there's nothing wrong with that.
They really said "Looney Tunes sound effects" during the third song. Brave, I respect that. Okay, this is definitely music to scare the hoes. Play this at a party and they'll take you to a mental institute after two minutes. But this is exactly why I'm here doing this challenge. Never in a million years would I know that this album exists without the existence of this book and this site. I'm glad I listened to this, because this is a damn ritual. That final song takes you to Jupiter. Did I like it? Hard to say. Did I enjoy the experience? Yeah.
Don't think I've ever wanted a joint so badly whilst listening to an album
No está MAL por sí mismo, de hecho, si fuera un disco de los 90 sería de lo más meh; pero al ser de 1973 siento que lo distingue de lo que otros estaban haciendo y quizá se pueda pensar que son pioneros. De cualquier manera, salvo momentitos que son sonoramente agradables, no me atrajo la atención ni me hizo mayor gracia.
Was pretty cool. Nice background music. Wasn't particularly moved or inspired by it, but I did enjoy it and would happily listen again. Relaxed, easy-going rock music centred around guitars and keys, with pleasant grooves and nice ambient soundscapes to accompany. Feels like something I would probably enjoy more and more on repeated listens.
Unusual but worth listening to.
Solid background music for working
Experimental, but worth a listen
Interesting experimental album. It didn't feel like there were any standout moments, but it had a good feel overall. Good background music, not sure I would want to listen to it with full attention.
Sounds like the official soundtrack to "The Elder", a movie that doesn't exist yet compelled Kiss to make a concept album about. This is meant to be a compliment. Or a way to suggest I'm glad this is on the list, I enjoyed listening to it, and then thought about the time Paul Stanley wore a purple headband.
Starts well with train sounds Drums Pleasant and nice Something good is happening It's all a bit good
Mai sentiti prima! Mi piace molto sia l'atmosfera dell'album, sia come suonano. Purtroppo, come spesso accade in album simili, a discapito della qualità di un progetto musicale, giocano altri fattori che possono influenzare l'esperienza dell'ascoltatore. Nel mio caso, io li ho capiti abbastanza subito e purtroppo a un certo punto hanno smesso di stupirmi, poi verso la fine mi sono anche un po' annoiato. Comunque bravi
Non avevo mai ascoltato i Can prima e non li avevo mai sentiti nominare nonostante siano abbastanza famosi nel panorama "Krautrock". Questo disco non è di facile ascolto ma sembra comunque la colonna sonora di un trip rilassato di LSD. Mi imagino tipo Bel Air nella classica scena del trip allucinogeno in un film, dove la vocetta del cantante giappo tedesco viene da qualche lumaca o pietra parlante. In ogni caso è stato godibile, nonostante i 19 minuti di traccia. I musicisti sono tutti molto bravi. Il problema principale che ho è la vena un po' troppo jazz orientata all'improvvisazione che crea questi pezzi con delle strutture circolari, dove i tempi compositivi sono super dilatati senza motivo. Alla fine, come dicevo, non mi ha annoiato, che è sicuramente un pregio e un rischio di questo tipo di musica, però allo stesso tempo questa dilatazione se ti cattura lo fa più per proprietà ipnotiche che per trasporto emotivo. In ogni caso direi un 3 abbastanza giusto.
Esto está muy chabocho. Aunque me quedé esperando más de los X-Men
Está chido el disco, la película no tanto.
COOL STUFF! maybe for 70s
Nice ambient background music.
Uninteresting but unoffensive.
Better than what I was expecting. Song 2 is a little too jazzy for me.
// Favs: — Score: Decent to Strong 3
There's not a lot to say about this album aside from the fact that it's pleasing to the ears. Easy listening with chill instrumentals and soft vocals.
I know that this is a seminal, influential, experimental rock/jazz/psychedelic ensemble, but I just didn’t find any of the songs worth listening to a second time.
Listened a little bit in the car with Pablo but he said they have better albums and then we just put on LCD Soundsystem.
I dug it! Waaaay ahead of their time. Obviously each song ran long and I get it, but could have tightened it up and progressed through them faster
Enjoyable enough, even though it's only four long jam tracks it meanders around in an interesting way that doesn't become too monotonous or droning.
Interessant, ich muss mich mehr darauf einlassen.
Props to being really fucking weird
Zeer experimentele muziek. Leuk om af te spelen op de achtergrond, veel ambient sounds
Kraut/prog/rock/jazz. BT: Future Days, Moonshake
Levyn kahdesta ekasta biisistä en juuri välittänyt, mutta sitten levyn lopun Mooshake ja Bel Air oli hyvinkin mielenkiintoisia. Hyvällä tavalla mielenkiintoisia. Ekassa kahdessa biisissä erikoiset kikkailut ei niin iskeneet. Levyn bonusyllärinä tuli se, että bändi on saksalainen. Jos asettaa kontrastiin, että levy on tehty '73, niin annan pioneerikolmosen vähän kokeellisemmasta levystä.
Strange album, each track with a different feel. It was alright. ***
Interesting album, mixture of sounds and styles. Tracks not likely to stick in the mind but enjoyable and entertaining to listen to in background.
Highlight: Moonshake Improv beatnik avant garde jazz-band serpentine musical diaries aren't really my thing, but Future Days is an all-together pleasant journey. It would be right at home at a coffee shop while writing a screenplay on a heavily-stickered Macbook, masking the clatters of coffee cups stacked high, the hissing of the steamer, the buzz-rumble of the grinder. CAN's free-flowing movements aren't impolite or particularly memorable, they're just /there/ and aren't in any way meant to intrude or divert your attention. This is good study music.
I enjoyed how little songs were on this album but they were also very long songs. My fav was Spray but this felt more like a Jazz album than rock.
I didn’t hate as much as Tessica. Didn’t love. But it had a vIbE
good one, I was fearing it a lot lol but it was nice.
Fine for background music but wasn't interested much beyond that
Feels like the soundtrack to a 60s movie montage
This one was interesting. I’m finding that I don’t hate electronica. I mean, I don’t *love* it, but it’s alright sometimes.
Kinda strange. Felt like I was in a syrian opium lounge or something.
Varsin mielenkiintoinen uusi tuttavuus! Alussa oli vähän WTF-fiilikset mutta tämähän toimii. Hieman kuin Talking Heads mutta ilman ärsyttäviä elementtejä. Kikkailu pysyy ihan hyvin hanskassa ja meno on muutenkin tyylikästä. Ihan huippuarvosanaan ei näillä meriiteillä vielä pääse, mutta erittäin vahvalla kolmosella mennään.
Very interesting. I had no idea what to expect and enjoyed the surprise. Very psychedelic, and ambient.
Meeeget lange ambience numre. 2 af dem er ok... 20 minutter for et nummer er simpelthen for langt
Quite trancey, nice sound. 4 longer tracks
this took a bit to get going but its psychedelic AF after a bit and pretty trippy to listen to with headphones on. everything is panned in weird ways, lots of instruments coming and going, volume swells etc. pretty spacey, there was definitely a bit of drug use going on. 3/5
Lite väl konstigt instrumentaliskt 2/5
this was boring to say the least, the only song that was under 9 minutes was the only one I enjoyed. I had no idea music in the early 70s was so boring until this streak of albums.
4/10
É um álbum que aparece preocupado em mostrar que é virtuoso tecnicamente e muito inventivo. As música soam ok. QoA Cloudscape.
Would have loved to give one star per song but unfortunately it was only enough for half a star per song
Interesting mix, album seems to get a lot of praise. It felt a little like early electronic, very much experimental, a little too much for me. Some bright spots in the drumming and some unusual melodies, but also very repetitive and essentially not much vocals to speak of.
honestly just really boring to me, not terrible
Another 1970s German group! I only wish this could have been a fraction of the enjoyment of Kollaps or Kraftwerk. This really just sailed past me but I was very aware of how long the final track was
This is a little bit of a meh album, with some songs being pretty chill when left playing in the background and others just being a bit confusing to listen to. Overall, it's not too bad but it's not something that I would play, although also definitely not super annoying to play in the background.
This album sounds like the interludes and segues on The Mars Volta's albums but instead of it being snipers it's an entire album.
As far as experimental 70’s krautrock goes, this isn’t terrible. Probably won’t listen again.
1.75 - I was nervous when I saw there were only four songs and Apple Music listed Faust as a similar artist. It was listenable at least.
Que acabo de escuchar lol lmao
40 minutes of what is essentially background music is not essential listening before I die. The White noise I put on while I sleep is more entertaining than this album. The fact that Moonshake is a half decent track saves this from being my first 1* album. But the other 3 tracks somehow frustratingly long, while also being boring. For a 4 track album, how is one track 3 mins, while another is 20? What are we doing here? The fact that this started playing again from the beginning and I didn't even realise probably says everything there is to say about this album. 1.5* rounded up to 2*
This put me to sleep a bit. I didn't find it the that interesting, and the lack of vocals kinda just gave it a feel of unrelated sounds being combined. I hate to keep using the term, but it felt like a jazz version of a jam band.
What Cyclospora listens to when it needs to unwind.
This is the music you would hear attending a jazz concert held inside an aquarium.
This bored me to tears Best Song: Moonshake Rating: 4/10 Stars: 3
Oh good, another experimental ambient record. Seriously two or three of these would be enough. Brian Eno is a genius, sure, but there’s only so much of this stuff a guy can take. I know this isn’t Eno, but he’s the poster child for ambient electronic music. I would prefer more eclectic music to be included rather than several “important “ albums all of the same genre and style. Just checked and, yup, there’s yet another Can album that I will be tortured with in the months to come. 2 stars
Ok, but for me not more sorry!
Overly long songs that didn’t hold my interest
eh
Sigh. There is a reason why this is not what most music is like.
Kind of a neat, mostly instrumental album. It's a background music kind of album.
Not my taste
Felt like I was overhearing someone watching a PlayStation game in another room. 2 stars, but if I was out my nut it could be either terrifying or beautiful or both.
O.o
entao, future days vai cair nessa mesma categoria de albums que eu curti a vibe, uma experiencia legal, mas não vou revisitar pq não é o tipo de musica q eu escuto. vou dar uma nota de 3,8 pq gostei um pouco mais do que autobahn, menos caotico e mais tranquilo e linear.
Being able to make a song long and yet has little to no interesting characteristics is an impressive feat.
painfully blaugh album. super duper forgettable. doesn't help there's a 20 min track in the 40min song.
Boring
This is so lame. There are probably a thousand better prog rock, experimental releases. This is repetitive, but not repetitive enough to be droning. This features otherworldly terrible singing. This has a lousy album cover. This is on here because it's four mostly instrumental tracks. If i did that and filled the time with hippopotamus fight audio, can I grab a spot on here. Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Once I get some field recording equipment and access to particularly ornery hippos in their natural habitat, I'm about to make the great album ever recorded. Future Days are bad days. Thanks for the omen. Now CAN you get out of my sight? 1.5-2 HIGHLIGHTS: French dancing
That was weird. Not entirely unpleasant, but weird. I think I prefer Träd, Gräs & Stenar if we’re going to do late 60s or early 70s weird.
This is a weird, kinda funky album. Kinda just beats without much vocals. Maybe something soft.
Nope.
Some guys just came to jam and someone recorded it
It was kind of whatever. I appreciated it as background music, but it wasn't interesting or emotional impactful enough for me to return.
Bof bof... Assez expérimental mais au final un peu long et lent
You can be ambient if you must but you have to have actual songs. There were nice moments in some of these soundscapes or whatever they were but they didn’t last long and I couldn’t hold onto any of them long enough while listening to the album to differentiate one kaleidoscopic musical phantasmagoria from the next. I did not enjoy this.
Les sonorités sont intéressantes mais l'album ne m'a pas transcendé.
It is transcendental, it is unworldly. Also nothing special for me, it doesnt speak for any emotion that i have. I love the experimental stuff what its pretty much indifferent to me
Experimental, ambitious, extravagant
Only one song could have been played on the radio… or maybe it was one of those records that were played when the DJs needed a smoke break (which is probably why I hadn’t heard of them). But I liked it…
That was very...experimental
I don't have any acid lying around
Only managed about half of this before it got too weird and boring
I wanted to like this one, but it just did nothing for me.
There isn’t anything groundbreaking or influential in this album. It’s jammy sort of so assign it to the hippies
Interesting and experimental but if I'm honest, pretty wanky and not that fun to listen to. I was tempted to switch off long before the final 20 minute track finished
Not as bad as Tango Mago, but for 4 songs it was Miles too long.
Pretty shit but it could have been shitter
Can't
Hmm njae.
Pretty uninteresting
Not a good record, not a despicable one either, but I would have made these songs at most 5 minutes long. These are just way too long and nothing interesting really happens. I like the way these guys play their instruments but I don't like the songs at all.
a little annoying
This didn't move me at all. It very much faded into the background. Decent music for having on while doing something that requires focus, but for me there's a limit to how highly I can rate that sort of thing. The best music elicits an emotional response, and ambient music basically never does that to me
Хуй пойми о чем, 40 минут, 4 песни. Скучные. 3/10
Not my style but had some good moments
Kind of just noise to me. But it wasn't terrible noise.
70s drugs rock.
It's not my bag, baby.
no lo pude terminar de escuchar, no me gusto nada
Weird and cool, glad I listened to this once in my life! But not going to rank particularly high, as I value my desire to relisten more than the novelty.
It was interesting
I like songs to have at least some melody, or at least something to distinguish them from just 'sound'. This, for me, was the latter, and while it would have been an excellent soundtrack to something stimulating, like a nature video for example, it offers very little to keep me engaged on its own. As with anything conceptual, experimental or "important", it also has to be good and listenable. This wasn't that. I was also not a fan of the weak vocal when it came
Background music
This was overall way longer than it needed to be, I thought, however it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be i found myself able to listen to it while doing homework. I liked moonshake
Nope not into it
Not really my thing. Kinda jammy?
Not really my thing, not offensive, as some have been, but nothing I would ever buy.
This did not work for me. Alternate between boring and a little bit irritating.
Lots of noise. Some of it was tolerable, though.
Um yup, it’s ok. Odd.
Can can, can you do the can can? No, I can't.
Very whatever background music; shouldn't be on here.
I like the tribal rhythms.
i feel like i am in an acid trip and i am fully sober, what?
psychedelic rock - it’s fine but there’s much better of what it’s trying to do
Interesting album, can’t quite put ,my finger on whether I liked it or not, I see from the write up on the band, it has inspired quite a few - 1968 seems like they were well ahead of their time.
De tyske krautrockerne i Can, her med et ambient-prosjekt. Fire sanger, hvorav brorparten er over 8 minutter lange (med en avslutning på 20 minutter). Musikken er atmosfærisk og varm, og jeg følte tidvis at jeg var omringet av ulike dyrearter i en tett jungel eller på den afrikanske savanne. Det er altså rimelig rolig og behagelig. Dessverre har jeg ingen interesse av å lytte noe videre til dette, da det oppleves som en forholdsvis kjedelig affære. Foruten tre minutter lange Moonshake, som er det nærmeste vi kommer en pop-perle, er sangene langtekkelige og krever en tålmodighet jeg ikke besitter. Top 3: Moonshake, Future Days, Bel Air
Not really my vibe
Not bad, easy to listen to.
What a snoozefest. For such a short album, I really checked the clock a lot.
Not bad for all instrumental but nothing great or jaw dropping.
German (pejorative). I can almost see where it's going sometimes but it never actually gets there.
ну такое. чисто из за норм барабанов ставлю не 1
Future Days - 3/5 - Spray - 2/5 Moonshake - 2.5/5 Bel Air - 3/5
2 Stars (5/15)
Dreamy, hypnotic, and somehow feels like music designed for staring at a wall while waiting for something interesting to happen. Very pretty wallpaper.
Kaum zugehört. Irgendwie wild. Gibt mir KrautRock-Vibes
I thought it might get into it, but it was the reverse. Seemed to start okay, then I got bored after a while. There's a certain chill element to it, but I'd rather listen to something else.
Not my thing at all. Super long tracks (20 minutes?!?) and it is weird
Its prog rock. It's mostly instrumental. The tracks get progressively longer. It's fine. Did I mention it's prog rock?
Oh 4 tracks, that will be quick... 40 minutes later...
Future Days is almost always interesting, but almost never enthralling. The best part of the album is the percussion, which is layered and unpredictable. I like how some tracks have multiple kinds of drums. But the percussion is also a bit subtle, meaning to fully appreciate it you have to really focus on it. The guitar is similar - it's a bit funky and makes interesting sounds, but nothing gripping or hypnotic. I'm sure there are people who can listen to this and really latch on to the subtleties and get lost in it, but my brain isn't wired that way. It's not that I think this needs to be louder or rock harder, it's more that everything is so loose while somehow also feeling restrained. And with how jammy it is, there's very little to distinguish the songs. Not a satisfying album, but not a boring one at least.
A bit to ‘cyber Jazz’ for me. Sounded like the experimental middle sections of the early Floyd songs!
Chill
One time not two
Eh more boring prog rock i'm not really into. 4/10
Naja
If nothing else, this sensation will be something completely different for your ears, but this is an experimental album even for an experimental album. Facebook Track: "Moonshake".
Best Track - "Future Days"
4/10
Much better than I expected a Krautrock album to be! Some really nice moments in this. They're unfortunately a bit buried in overlong songs that can feel quite frustrating to listen to. Challenging for me personally, but a lot of merit to this one.
I guess it’s alright - I don’t really care for psychedelic music anymore
Too odd for my tastes, but not in an offensive way unlike many experimental albums.
I like some of Can’s music but this album wasn’t my favorite.
Rating this only 1 star more than We're Only In It For the Money feels criminal, but I can't justify a bump to 3 stars. Just a mediocre boring album. 4 Laminated Denims out of 10 Lizard Wizards
I was unfamiliar with this and listened through twice. It didn't leave much of an impression unfortunately.
I didn't listen to this whole thing, just kinda browsed here and there.
This just didn't really do much for me. I generally enjoy more ambient and experimental music, but this one just didn't click. I'll have to give it another shot at some point.
Very light listening with the exception of the drums. Mostly an instrumental. Hard to recall the songs after listening.
Wieso gehört dieses Album in diese Sammlung ???
It’s just a bit dull over the length of an album. Fine to soundtrack my walk to work but nothing that I’d actively listen to.
This was odd. At times it sounded extremely 1970s and at other times very modern. The vocals, set back so much in the mix, frequently reminded me of Gorilliaz, but then Spray reminded me of Yes. John Peel, quote about Moonshake is fantastic - it was "great", but its chances of becoming a hit were "roughly comparable to his chances of being asked to join Ivy Benson's All-Girl Orchestra on harp". Everything except Moonshake could have benefited from a good trim to get to a sensible song length, especially Bel Air. I'm starting to develop a new aversion to records where one entire side of the vinyl was dedicated to a single song. Their sound weirdly started to grow on me a bit over the course of the record, so I think this would have been a 2.5 had I been allowed half stars. I'm rounding down though because no song needs to be 20 minutes long. 2/5
It's alright. It's not something I'd put on on my own. Ugh I can't with these 20 minute songs. I'm not going to get through this.
Not my kind of music
Yawn
I really hate to write this album off as just "boring", but that's the only word I could find for it after its conclusion. I did not inherently hate it, but I was not inspired or entertained by it either.
40 mins, 4 songs, longest experience to get through. Didn’t grab my attention, still a good flow just boring.
Vähän pitkästyttävä levy. Pitkiä kappaleita joissa ei oikein tapahdu mitään. Lähes kokonaan instrumentaalista rokkia. Parhaat: Moonshake
Only 4 tracks? Interesting rhythms, doesn't sound like it's from the 70s. Could have done without the vocals, 2*
3/10. Not bad at all I just didn't love it.
Interesting but not something on heavy rotation
A bit too psychedelic for me.
No way this came out 73 years ago I find it really funny how they thought future music was going to sound something like that, but the band that *actually* predicted the future of the music was the stooges. And something makes me think they didn't mean do to that Sometimes I fw things like this, sometimes don't. This time don't
I found myself wanting to rate this higher. It didn't really grab me or click in any special way. Maybe it was my day. I'm as surprised as you are
Interesting to start an album with a trap to see if a listener would like to stick with it or not. Or maybe it's a way for the listener to set their expectations lower for the first bit of the track. It's fine. I'm going a little crazy from the odd song structures that have been coming up a lot as of late. Sounds good in that 1970s way. I don't think you need to listen to this before you die.
The best thing I can say is, interesting.
Stort krautrock album. Lange grooves og elektroniske elementer. Også eksperimentelt, men det her er åbenbart deres mest cohesive albums. Det er også proto ambient (altså musik som er præget af ikke at fortælle en lineær historie men skabe en stemning fremfor alt.) Jeg kan ærligt næsten ikke huske det efter at jeg skriver den her kommentart nogle dage efter jeg lyttede til det. i guess det er fordi det hele flød lidt sammen, hvilket jeg stærkt antager er meningen. Men jeg kan knap nok huske lyden, så det kræver nok at jeg tilbagevender.
1,6/5
Jazzy and groovy, kind of sounds like a bop it
I just couldn't really get into this album. There's some flashes of interesting stuff in here, but for the most part, the songs really didn't hold my interest.
Instrumental. Don't remember much
I guess this would have been good background music for studying back in college. But nothing I'll ever listen to again these days.
Melodic. Like as background music but would never sit down to listen to. 5/10
Like Yes's stoned cousin without the singing
Pleasant enough but too mundane and too much of it. Monotony Inc.
Nothing interesting about this. 1.5 but will generously round up to 2.
I have no idea how to rate something like this
This album was a trip. First song was horrible, the rest were mid. Did not get the vocal mix as I could barely hear the singer.
я обычно ставлю 1 таким релизам но тут с утра пока горели сроки, эта музыка оказалась подходящей для работы за это плюсик
Good but not memorable
Les impros jazzesques avec des effets sonores pendant 20 minutes, c'est un non négatif.
Really not for me. Probably wouldn't listen again. No real structure or pay off very jam band
More noodling
I found this extremely agitating and repetitive.
First two tracks were fun and I enjoyed the jam band sesh, but the final track Bel Air was kind of a slog. Didn't really enjoy that one and its 20 minutes which is like half of the album.
Krautrock is everything and Krautrock is nothing. Nothing is truly Krautrock. Can is Can. Do I like Can? Actually, no. Is Can experimental, I think so. Is it ambient? Not really. Is there a lot of drumming on the album? Way too much for my taste. OK, the only thing I really like about "Future Days" is the cover, and that's really cool.
I thought that this was an okay album. For experimental music, it’s not off putting at all. That said, this is not music that you’ll find yourself humming afterwards. I came away wondering if there’s a happy medium between a 3 minute song and a twenty minute one. I don’t think 4 songs averaging 10 minutes each is the answer.
Sounded like whatever Aaron Rodgers was listening to when he did ayahuasca on his darkness retreat
It’s not awful.
I’ve always been resistant to Can’s charms. Some of Vitamin C and Tago Mago do the trick, but largely reminds me of being in jam sessions that never quite hit for me. Apparently folks love this one though and while Moonshake is my thing, as a whole...sigh.
3/10
1. Future Days - 7 Solid song. Really slow build but you get this lovely drum sound into some great guitar riffs. Since this is progressive rock, you get vocals but they're never enough to overpower what's building instrumentally and that's just about the perfect touch to add another element without taking away what you're listening to transpire. 2. Spray - 4 Feel like I'm underwater the entire length of the song. Guitar sounds nice as does the light amount of drums but the song just doesn't go anywhere. First the first track is a nice progressive build into some good sounds, this track is a flat plateau of barren music. It gets considerably better at the end of the track, but you have to spend 6 & 1/2-7 minutes to get there only for it to start fading out a minute later. 3. Moonshake - 6 Good sound but a bit of a pass over track due to it's repetitive nature. Really good jamming style sound given that. 4. Bel Air - 2 Jekyll and Hyde song. Opening 2 minutes are good and then the song kinda putters along for another 2 minutes before a random tone/gear change in the track. Those aren't even the only gear changes in the song, which for much of the middle part mellows out into small noises until it finally begins to build into something 12 minutes in. By then, I feel like most people are ready to check out if they have not done so already, myself included. You're then massively disappointed with the ending that the song has eventually built towards, feeling like it's ended prematurely before going on for another minute and a half and attempt to build again ahead of a sudden fade out. Average Rating: 4.75 Adjusted to a 5-Point Scale: 2.4 Rounded Down: 2 stars
Atmospheric rock(?), few vocals
41 mins and 4 tracks, 1 of those tracks is 3 mins long and by far the most enjoyable. I get it that this was ground breaking and still sounds like the future but I don't enjoy what the future sounds like
Lidt meh. Har sikkert glemt det om 2 minutter... Yep. Husker intet..
Jeg hørte det mens jeg lavede kontorarbejde. Har glemt alt om det nu
A collection of songs that go nowhere for way too long
This album is like a Led Zeppelin outro extended to fill a full album. Bloated and unfocused. There’s an occasional glimmer. of an interesting idea, but they inevitably meander into more pointless noodling.
Some cool drumming
mmh no
First song starts with 1 minute weirdness. Four tracks. Not really a fan. Maybe need to listen more.
Each song felt like a 20 second piece of a Radiohead song stretched out to 10 minutes. (Not really a compliment)
I don't know, CAN you? In fairness, at 18 I would have given this five stars.
1 Star was very much in consideration, but there at least seems to be some talent going on here.
This was just background music and super boring unfortunately 2 ⭐️
Didn’t mind it as background music but that’s about it.
Future is pretty bleak in this realm
Favorite songs: Moonshake, Future Days Least favorite songs: Bel Air 2/5
Want to like this album more but I have to go with my feeling
point7.
For a krautrock type album this is definitely one of the better ones - still not exactly music I want to listen to.
Kind of like if Pink Floyd didn't make very interesting music. Not terrible but just too much samey jamming for the sober mind.
Track one - spacey airy melodies. Some chanting. I’m drunk on my own at home or riding a train somewhere with the sun shining over the scenery. I like it. 8 mins fly by.
Instrumental ambient music
Another one! Maybe a little bit better than Tago Mago, but eh.
Very prog, much instrument
Not my style
Endless music over and over. Sorry just don't get it
Hardly anything exciting, though it’s decent enough in spots.
Im starting to think i dont like prog
I am not a big fan of this album. I do not like it because it is really repetitive, it is also just not my favorite genre of music. I would not recommend this album.
Have you ever wanted to listen to German experimental rock music? then this is perfect for you. in my opinion this album is really bad. I don't like it because I don't like how the instruments sound. Another reason why I personally don't like it is because I don't like the pattern beat that there is. I would not recommend this album to a friend because I don't like it and feel like it's really bad so I don't think anyone else would actually like it either. I give this a solid 2 stars out of 5 stars.
the first song is alr not that good cs it don have no lyrics but wait I js heard some lyrics but ion like it its not good fo me. the second one started off uhm wha da thas wha I have to say abt the start its not good. idk bru
`Why does it sound so strange? "Future Days" started out really weird. I thought the lyrics were okay but I didn't really get the meaning. "Moon shake" was definitely better. The music was more fun and upbeat. The lyrics seem to be about slowing things down, probably in a relationship. "Bel Air" wasn't to great, the instrumentation was interesting but the singing was hard to understand. I wouldn't recommend this album.
ganz ok zum nebenher dudeln lassen
There’s been a few of these mostly instrumental, atmospheric type albums so far and I just don’t get them. This one had a few interesting points but I’d never recommend this sort of thing to anyone. It’s easy to just zone it out as background music. And while I can appreciate the odd instrumental track on an album, and I’m all for experimental and artsy stuff, but at the end of the day a whole album of vibes just doesn’t cut it. Previous albums of similar type I gave a 1 but this was more on the artsy side than those and did grab my attention a few times with some really cool melodies and sounds
I’ll give this 2 stars, which is generous because it was pretty bad. Track 3 is reasonably catchy though.
Did not care for this one at first, though by the back half it started to grow on me.
It was ok-ish
Weird.
Hippie psychedelic type music. Not the worst but wouldn't listen to it or recommend it. ANDDDDD 10 minute songs... excuse me that should be illegal... was putting me to sleep.
Arrrgggggggg..... felt like my brain was having its own audio epileptic spasms at times then it would do a 180 and was somewhat enjoyable. Don't get me wrong the whole album sucked and I would never listen to it again - but I can see this playing in a cult commune waiting room or in the ear buds of those picking sunflower seeds under a multi-coloured neon sky.
Very short album, it was ok. Nothing stood out. I do wonder how this made the list. Favourite song: moonshine was a good song Least favourite: track 1 Album artwork: Cool cover
Absoluut geen werk muziek, hier werd ik gek van
Not for me. Not absolute garbage, but not impressive enough to bump up to 3 stars.
Didn’t know what to say about this one.
Kinda weird. Not enjoyable.
