And now, these \"sound polaroids\" are remastered and rereleased for us to enjoy once again, in the expanded form of \u003cem\u003eUnlimited Edition\u003c\/em\u003e! Yay! While other, maybe not-so-legit, Can out-take albums that have been released have sometimes bordered on the unlistenable in terms of recording\/production quality, \u003cem\u003eUnlimited Edition\u003c\/em\u003e maintains the pristinely clear sound of their most notable releases like \u003cem\u003eEge Bamyasi\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFuture Days\u003c\/em\u003e. How engineers Holger Czukay (also Can's bassist) and Rene Tinner got their sound to be this good in the Can studio remains a longstanding mystery; but man, it is eternally impressive! If you follow them as a band, \u003cem\u003eUnlimited Edition\u003c\/em\u003e seems much different than other albums. It does not lack direction in any way, though the songs seem to be an assemblage of either exercises in different styles of music making (i.e \"Ethnic Forgery Series No. 36\" - a loose New Orleans-style jazz number or \"Cutaway\" - a tape-spliced collage piece) or intuitively crafted with more cerebral\/artful emphasis in rhythm, synth layers, improv and space. There's much more of a stoney experimental intensity in many of these tracks, leaving those on our other favorite Can albums to sound like crazy, catchy funk jams in comparison. The tracks compiled here are from '68 to '75. Throughout, \u003cem\u003eUnlimited Edition\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates Can's intuition and entropic ingenuity balanced by both an incredible sense of form in sound and impressive self-engineering. This is highly highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mute\/Spoon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48426847469766,"sku":"xpg1793063530775","price":16.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7338\/7974\/files\/can---unlimited-edition-2xlp_1.jpg?v=1793063539","url":"https:\/\/multitoolgear.shop\/products\/can-unlimited-edition-2xlp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
