Krautrock Can briefly disbanded in 1977 but three of the core members reformed the next year to produce the mildly disappointing 'Out of Reach' The same three Irmin Schmidt Michael Karoli and Jaki Liebezeit continued the following year with the muchimproved 'Can' an album which largely picks up where the final quartet album 1977's 'Saw Delight' left off The trio knew during the sessions that this would be the final Can album barring compilations and occasional temporary reunions some of which involved original singers Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki and there's a hint of valedictory sadness in tracks like 'All Gates Open' and 'Can Be' However the mood is far from somber 'A Spectacle' which features tape loops and electronics by former member Holger Czukay is as exciting as anything the band ever did and the amusing 'Can Can' is an injoke finish to a spectacular careerLP 180 Gram Heavyweight Vinyl
