Can were a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne in 1968 by Holger Czukay, Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Jaki Liebezeit (drums). They featured several vocalists, including the American Malcolm Mooney (1968–70) and the Japanese Damo Suzuki (1970–73). They have been hailed as pioneers of the German krautrock scene.
Holger Schüring, known professionally as Holger Czukay, was a German musician best known as a co-founder of the krautrock group Can. Described as "successfully bridg[ing] the gap between pop and the avant-garde", Czukay was also notable for having created early important examples of ambient music, for having explored "world music" well before the term was coined, and for having been a pioneer of sampling.

Agilok & Blubbo is the soundtrack album to the 1969 German film of the same name. It is notable in being one of the earliest recordings of the German experimental rock band The Inner Space, who would soon become known under the name Can. Years after the film had fallen into obscurity, its soundtrack was eventually released in Spain in 2009. Along with the band's next soundtrack Kamasutra: Vollendung der Liebe, none of the material would be featured on Soundtracks, a 1970 compilation of songs the band had recorded for various film soundtracks. As a result, the work remains a rarity. The tracks "Kamera Song" and "Agilok and Blubbo" were released together as a single.
"Blessed Easter" is a 1987 musical single by Holger Czukay, from his album Rome Remains Rome (1987). The song is notable for sampling the voice of Pope John Paul II.
