Can - Flow Motion

"Flow Motion", el segundo de los tres álbumes de Can en Virgin, es un registro de división en el canon del grupo. Fué su álbum de mayor éxito comercial (la primera canción, "I Want More", fue lanzada como single en el Reino Unido y se parece a un período tardío de Roxy Music golpe), pero muchos fans lo desestiman como un giro del grupo hacia el éxito de ventas.Hay una refundación en la interacción del grupo, que Holger Czukay atribuye a un interés por la música reggae, sin embargo, la influencia del Caribe es muy sutil, sólo en "Cascade Waltz" y, en particular, "Laugh Till You Cry Live Till You Die" con una cadencia reggae notable. Las dos pistas que destacan "Smoke", una entrada salvaje, de estilo marroquí en su cada vez mayor Ethnological Forgery Series, y la ágil canción que titula el disco, un instrumental de diez y medio minutos que recuerda los mejores momentos de los álbumes anteriores como "Soon Over Babaluma".

The second of Can's three Virgin albums, 1976's Flow Motion, is a divisive record in the group's canon. It was their most commercially successful album (the opening track, "I Want More," was released as a single in the U.K. and actually charted, thanks to its smoothly percolating near-disco groove, which makes it resemble a late-period Roxy Music hit), but many fans dismiss it as the group's feint toward commercial success. That fluke hit aside, the charge doesn't really hold water. There's a newfound smoothness to the group's interplay, which Holger Czukay attributes to an interest in reggae music, yet the Caribbean influence is quite subtle; only on "Cascade Waltz" and, particularly, "Laugh Till You Cry Live Till You Die" is there a noticeable reggae lilt. The two highlight tracks are "Smoke," a wild, Moroccan-styled entry in their ever-growing Ethnological Forgery Series, and the limber title track, a ten-and-a-half minute instrumental groove that recalls the best moments of earlier albums like Soon Over Babaluma. By no means one of Can's very best albums, Flow Motion deserves better than its poor reputation in some circles.
