The Greatest Music
Future Days
by Can
The 800th greatest album of all time
Future Days, released in 1973 by Can, is a Krautrock album that moves the band toward spacious, ambient and groove-based textures. The music rests on Jaki Liebezeit's precise, trance-like rhythms and Holger Czukay's restrained bass, with Irmin Schmidt's keyboards and Michael Karoli's guitar creating layered, pastoral motifs around Damo Suzuki's sparse, evocative vocals. The record emphasizes long, hypnotic pieces and studio experimentation with tape and editing to produce drifting, atmospheric soundscapes that have influenced later ambient and post-rock directions.
