 CAN Etcetera
This month X-Ray Moon has put together a special programme dedicated to Damo Suzuki , the former lead singer of CAN who recently passed away ... X-Ray Moon looks into the influence that Damo Suzuki, CAN and some of their contemporaries have had on music and musicians from the late 1960s up to the present day.
We are swirled through a maelstrom of experimental, avant-garde, surrealistic and subversive sounds and attitudes. From Damo Suzuki, CAN, Harmonia , Neu! , Faust , Amon Duul II, and Kraftwerk … to post-Punk groups such as P.I.L., Joy Division and Teardrop Explodes… to groups that covered CAN tracks, such as Loop, Jesus and Marychain, and Blixa Bargeld ... to the phenomenal, in their own right, The Velvet Underground .
This is a programme both for those who are Krautrock-curious and for those who have been followers of aka ‘Kosmische Musik’ for quite some time. For, X-Ray Moon plays both tracks that many will have heard before, but he also seems to have trawled either the depths of his own record collection or the inner-most sanctum of the music-net ... or quite possibly both ... and come up with tracks that even the most hardcore lover of all musical Germanic things from the late 60s early 70s is unlikely to have come across before.

Blixa Bargeld - Soul desert
| Image from Discogs  Blixa Bargeld, born Christian Emmerich on January 12, 1959 in West Berlin, Germany, is a composer, author, actor, singer, musician, performer and lecturer in almost any field of interpretative art. He is best known for his studio work and tours with the groups Einstürzende Neubauten and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. In 1980 he founded the music group Einstürzende Neubauten which released numerous albums and singles, performed all over the world, and still exists to this day. From 1984 to 2003, Blixa Bargeld was a long-time guitarist and backing vocalist in Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Cave's popular "The Weeping Song" was recorded as a duet between Cave[ and Bargeld. Since the middle of the 90s Bargeld has appeared live with his solo Rede/Speech Performances. During these performances, usually supported by Neubauten's sound engineer Boris Wilsdorf, he works with microphones, sound effects, overdubbing with the help of sampler loops, and speaks English or German. The performed pieces include such curiosities as a vocal creation of the DNA of an angel and a parody of a techno song. Read more on Last.fm.
