Q. Hello Andy,
I usually bow to the superior general knowledge abilities of my husband but is he right on this one? He is a big Can fan and he thinks he heard that your favourite singer is Kenji 'Damo' Suzuki, is
he right again or is he barking up the wrong tree?
Best wishes
Pauline.
A. Well Mrs Mitchell, give hubby a great big fat kiss from me and tell him he's partly right.
I actually love BOTH of Can's vocalists,with possibly a very slight preference going to our favourite draft dodging teacher from Harlem,Malcolm Mooney.
Malcolm for his primitive rhythmic croak{eg. SOUL DESERT or YOO DOO RIGHT} and wacky Damo for his magic Engrish psycho babble{eg.HALLELUWAH or PINCH}.
Can were a huge influence on my musical development,especially that throb of JAKI LIEBZEITS drums.I'd never heard anything quite like it.
If theres anybody out there whos not been exposed to them yet buy yourself MONSTER MOVIE and TAGO MAGO and you'll hear where 80% of modern music comes from.
Giant group.
