A collection of previously unreleased recordings from the seminal krautrock band Can will be released via Mute on June 19 in the U.S. and June 18 in Europe. The Lost Tapes is a 3xCD box set of studio and live recordings as well as soundtrack works for films that never saw release. Check out the opening cut, "Millionenspiel".
The box set was compiled from over 30 hours of music found at Can's studio in Weilerswist, Germany, as the space was disassembled and moved to the German Rock N Pop Museum in Gronau, Germany. The tracks range from 1968-1977 and feature Holger Czukay (bass), Michael Karoli (guitar), Jaki Liebezeit (drums), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), and vocals by both Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki.
The release was curated by Schmidt and Mute's Daniel Miller, and compiled by Schmidt and collaborator Jono Podmore, who also edited the collection.
An event celebrating Can's Lost Tapes will take place on April 17 at the New York venue Le Poisson Rouge, at which Schmidt and Podmore will perform and discuss material from the release.
