Album Description
Japanese Pressing. Damo Suzuki's final effort is Can's most atmospheric and beautiful record, a spartan collection of lengthy, jazz-like compositions recorded with minimal vocal contributions. 'Future Days' is an intense work, bubbling with radical ideas and concepts. This 4 track re-issue of the 1973 album has been remastered and comes packaged in a paper sleeve. Vine. 2005.

| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Shake the moon, By Tom Chase (London) - See all my reviews This review is from: Future Days (Audio CD) "Future Days", the last of Can's golden era trilogy, is possibly the most ambitious and wildly innovative of the three. It expands on the psych-funk of "Ege Bamyasi" through elegant, vast electronic soundscapes that give an ethereal and haunting atmosphere. It's electronic, but don't be thinking Jean Michel Jarre or Kraftwerk - it's still undeniably Can.The evolving sound of "Future Days" is evident from the go with the superb opening title track. Layers of texture and noise build until giving way to a sublime, delicate groove, decorated with guitar flashes and lush synth washes. "Spray" offers more experimentation with some frenetic, jazzy instrumentation that swaggers and bulges, builds up and breaks down. "Moonshake" is most reminiscent of the Can sound found on their previous works - by far the shortest and sharpest track on the album, the song is full-on funky Can at their catchy and accessible best. The centre-piece to the album though comes with the giant...

While Splash offers an undercurrent of tension and unease, Bel-Air just sings with light. For Damo Suzuki, this was already becoming too symphonic and the album marked his final recording--completing the trio of CAN's most enduring classics. Like CAN's other great material, the recordings are devoid of fashion and impossible to date. They sounds as fresh as the day this music was born (and meticulously hand-edited = spliced with razorblades and tape by Holger Czukay) and hold up to anything from any era. Get it. This may be the best ten bucks you'll ever spend in your life. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Update on Future Days 2008 Edition Manufacturing Defect, By Mike D. "Spitjames" (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Future Days (Audio CD) HiThe issue in question is only in the US. If you order from Spoon Records directly, we will send you a CD from our Europe stock which is fine. Mute Records, who preses the CDs in the US is investigating where the fault comes from and will repress hopefully asap. When that is done, you willbe able to get a new, non-faulty CD from them too. Cheers- Spoon Records **************Original Post**************** I just got my second copy of the 2008 future days from Amazon, and both will not play in any of my CD players or computer. The errors say "data disc," "no disk," etc. Windows media player does not even register or read the CD's. Other 2008 Can CD's that I recently bought will play fine. When I look at the CD surface it is uniform with no line of demarcation between where the music should be and the rest of the disc. Seems like I've tapped into a manufacturing run that has had probelms. Anyone else notice this?? Please tell me I'm... Read more |
