Background On the eve of the recording sessions for ''Saw Delight'', Can had a tumultuous creative atmosphere, marked by intensifying creative difference between Can members. They experienced escalating "tension between Can's free-form philosophy and the desire to sculpt accessible musical forms". The band members started drifting away from joined, lengthy recording sessions after the integration of sixteen-track recording in 1975.

Phonograph Record
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English) or a vinyl record (for later varieties only) is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the outside edge and ends near the center of the disc. The stored sound information is made audible by playing the record on a phonograph (or "gramophone", "turntable", or "record player"). Records have been produced in different formats with playing times ranging from a few minutes to around 30 minutes per side. For about half a century, the discs were commonly made from shellac and these records typically ran at a rotational speed of 78 rpm, giving it the nickname "78s" ("seventy-eights"). After the 1940s, "vinyl" records made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) became standard replacing the old 78s and remain so to this day; they have since been produced in various sizes and speeds, most commonly 7-inch discs pla ...

Moonshake (song)
"Moonshake" is a song by the krautrock band Can, released as a single, alongside the "Future Days" as the B-side, on their 1973 album '' Future Days''. Composition Rob Young, Can's biographer, compared "Moonshake" to the rest of "Can catalogue of perfectly formed pop songs". Similar to the song "She Brings the Rain" from '' Soundtracks'' and "Sing Swan Song" from '' Ege Bamyasi'', it introduces "elements of rock convention and erasing any sense of cliché around them". Additionally, "Moonshake" is the only track on the album that shifts into the Motorik rhythm, propagated by the band on their previous albums. Reception and legacy John Peel, reviewing the single for '' Sounds'', described it as "less than promising" but overall feeling that "it's great", although its chances to become a hit were "roughly comparable to his chances of being asked to join Ivy Benson's All-Girl Orchestra on harp". In 2017 ''Vice''s Drew Millard described "Moonshake" as "pre-punk-post-punk sugar rus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
