The later part of Daft Punk’s time was more or less completely based around these guys and this song.

That’s on Future Days, which is my favourite Can album. One for the unpopular opinions thread I suppose but it was the first Can album I bought and for a long time was the only Can album I had. So that might explain my attraction to it.

I have the album myself and was one of the first ones I bought from them too.

I wouldn’t be a huge fan of Bel Air on it however.

Monster Movie is my favourite Can album - surprise surprise its the debut.

Moonshake is just perfect - subsequent British post punk bands influenced by it is apparent.

Just heard this for the first time there on Newstalk. Great tune.

Fuck I used to think it went ‘I’m on the run’ :joy::see_no_evil:

Great tune, but the dusty version is my fave and the Phil Collins one is an abomination
