"Soon Over Babaluma" by Can (1974)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Can "Soon Over Babaluma"  1974 (Germany)
We lost two great bassists of the seventies this month: we celebrated Walter Becker (Steely Dan) last week, so this week it is Holger Czukay time. Holger was the bassist, oldest member, edit-meister and leader of "The Can", Germnay's greatest jam band and one of the leading lights of "krautrock." Sadly, Holger is now jamming with drummer Jaki and guitarist Michael auf Himmel, with Irmin Schmidt being the last original member of the group still alive (not including their "foreign" vocalists, American Malcolm Mooney and Japanese Damo Suzuki, both of whom are also still alive). This week's classic album is a pivotal release for two reasons: it was their last album where they recorded themselves live onto a two-track recorder (as they had done since their first album), and also the first album as an all-German quartet without a foreign lead singer (Irmin and Michael took over vocal duties, but still mostly sing auf Englisch).
