  • Overall:

    The undisputed Krautrock classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 28, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Tago Mago review helpful

    From the opening chimes of "Paperhouse", it's clear that as experimental as this album gets, it never loses sight of the rhythmic, melodic, psychedelic drive which fuels its basis. What you have here is a fantastically subdued, yet at times wildly ag...gressive collection of experimental rock. Damo Suzuki's indecipherable voice is a revelation on tracks like "Oh Yeah", and "Halleluwah" shows Can's masterful grasp of extended dynamics. Hypnosis is the name of the game here, and if you love the idea of losing yourself in adventurous, yet melodic 70's ambient rock, then this album is for you. Read more Less

    if this is your initiation to Can, expect to be scurrying to amass everything they ever recorded. hearing this album is like experiencing a new drug. it opens you up on so many levels, not neglecting the physical, primordial beat that so much "psych...edelic" music usually does.the lyrics are esoteric and obscure, leaving much to the ripe imagination to associate with. never has experimentation bore such organic fruit.what elevates great albums to great art is the whole scope of the work. the title, (Tago Mago was a magician/alchemist from medieval times) the cover art, song titles, etc... all evoke a sense of wonder and mystery. the fusion of these elements form the musical equivalent of Kubrick's "2001".

    A Spiritual Experience

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 26, 1999 | 1 out of 1 found this Tago Mago review helpful

    I was introduced to Can by this very album. The grooves are real, and timeless. Can introduced room acoustics, and electronics to rock and roll. I love this album and I can't say enough about it. The vocals by Damo Suzuki are a little drowned out, b...ut they seem to blend perfectly somehow. Read more Less
