At the 2018 Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands, a gathering of all things obscure, heavy, and experimental, two generations of Japanese Krautrock talent joined the stage for a captivating live collaboration. Tokyo's Minami Deutsch and the legendary ex-Can frontman Damo Suzuki came together for a performance that was both mesmerizing and inevitable. The Live At Roadburn LP features Minami Deutsch's intense metronomic jams as the backdrop, allowing Suzuki to freely deliver his unique improvised vocals. This album is challenging, raw, and at times, truly otherworldly. Divided into three parts, it's driven by a relentless motorik rhythm that never lets up. With a flick of a switch, the intricate guitars shift from a hypnotic, meditative state to skewed psychedelic freak - outs full of fuzz. While Minami Deutsch plays with precision, Suzuki's stream - of - consciousness rambles guide the music in unexpected directions. The result is a disorienting, sporadic, and all - consuming experience, with the distorted and seemingly endless 4/4 beat keeping you grounded. Repetition, minimalism, improvisation, and transcendence were the hallmarks of Krautrock pioneers Can, whose work with Damo Suzuki from 1970 - 1973 changed music forever. Some 45 years after Can's final record with Suzuki, the Future Days, the spirit of that era endures. Since then, Suzuki has been on an endless solo tour, performing with numerous bands around the world. Now, you can relive his performance with Minami Deutsch from Roadburn on vinyl.
