Damo Suzuki's last album with Can as Vocalist. Only 4 tracks, but includes the astonishing 20-minute version of Bel Air and the 3-minute pop masterpiece Moonshake. This 1973 epic encapsulates everything great about Can then and now.
While conceptualizing Switched-On, Pachyman gravitated to Lovers Rock-era reggae and the iconic Studio One. Yet the album also pays homage to the era where musicians began manipulating synthesizers for gloriously off-kilter bleeps and bloops.
American Heartbreak is my effort at trying to explain what being a 26 year old man in America is like. There's love, loss, revelry, resentment, and forgiveness all wrapped into one piece of work.
