np: "pinch" - can
Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi are two excellent albums. i've yet to delve any deeper in the Can library because i doubt either of these albums will be topped by anything else they've done. the roots of post-rock right here, if you ask me.
so i'm heading off to the heart of the city to go vinyl shopping tomorrow and i decided to make a couple mixes to accompany my journey, the results:
