LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Digipack, remastered CD"

Originally Released 1969 A few months after the foundation of Can Holger recorded his first solo album 'Canaxis'. The music has its origins in different parts of the world. It was arranged with the intuition of exploring and preserving the genuine character and beauty in a new context. This album is an experimental foray which fuses ambient, world music and an early form of sampling, a good 10 years before anybody else in the rock music field even started to get to grips with any of those ideas. Working with producer/engineer Rolf Dammers, this album was assembled from thousands of snippets recorded from short wave radio, a long standing obsession of Czukay´s which he also incorporated into some of Can´s later albums. For many years it was a real rarity, as only 1000 copies were printed and it was only released in Germany"
