12. CanTago Mago
It’s my favourite Can album and it’s the first one I heard. It’s the first one Damo Suzuki sang on. It has a different feel to it. There’s a brilliant flow to it. I got into Can in about 1992. It sounded really familiar – especially the drums – because they were so influential on lots of other bands I liked, but it was like, ‘Oh fuck, these are the people who invented that.’ We spent a lot of time driving around in Nick’s car – he was the only person who drove at that point – listening to stuff. This was an album we played a lot. That was our thing. I’m sure kids still do that now. Once you get to a certain age, the car is representative of all those freedoms, where you get to listen to your own music really loud in your Ford Fiesta or whatever.
