Telepathic Surgery

Top/ Sacrilege (Spoon Records, 1997) is a double remix album by German electronic pioneers Can. Can was a musical group formed in West Germany in 1968. One of the most important "krautrock" groups, Can had a style grounded in the art rock of bands such as The Velvet Underground, with strong experimental and world music influences. Described by keyboard player Irmin Schmidt as an "anarchist community" and by guitarist Michael Karoli as "a geometry of people", Can constructed their music largely through free improvisation and editing, which bassist Holger Czukay has referred to as "instant compositions". Through albums such as Tago Mago (1971) and Ege Bamyasi (1972), Can exerted a considerable influence on avant-garde, experimental, underground, ambient, New Wave and electronic music. Bottom/ Cunning Stunts (1975) by Caravan blends psychedelic rock and jazz. Caravan rose to success from 1968 onwards into the 1970s as part of the Canterbury scene, like their contemporaries Soft Machine.
