Can were an experimental rock band formed in West Germany in 1968. One of the most important krautrock groups, Can' incorporated strong minimalist and world music influences.
Can constructed their music largely through free improvisation and editing, which bassist Holger Czukay has referred to as "instant compositions". They had only occasional commercial success, with singles such as "Spoon" and "I Want More" reaching national singles charts. However, through albums such as Tago Mago (1971) and Ege Bamyasi (1972), Can exerted a considerable influence on avant-garde, experimental, underground, ambient, New Wave and electronic music.
