Can was a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne, West Germany, in 1968 by the core quartet of Holger Czukay (bass), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Jaki Liebezeit (drums). The group cycled through several vocalists, including Malcolm Mooney (1968–70) and Damo Suzuki (1970–73), as well as various temporary members. Drawing from backgrounds in the avant-garde and jazz, Can incorporated minimalist, electronic, and world music elements into their often psychedelic and funk-inflected music. They have been widely hailed as pioneers of the German krautrock scene.

Tago Mago is the third album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released as a double LP in 1971. It was the band's second studio album and the first to feature Damo Suzuki after the 1970 departure of previous vocalist Malcolm Mooney. Recorded in a rented castle near Cologne, the album features long-form experimental tracks blending funk rhythms, avant-garde noise, jazz improvisation, and electronic tape editing techniques.
Soundtracks is a compilation album by the Krautrock group Can. It was first released in 1970 and consists of tracks written for various films. The album marks the departure of the band's original vocalist Malcolm Mooney, who sings on two tracks, to be replaced by new member Damo Suzuki. Stylistically, the record also documents the transition from the psychedelia-inspired jams of their earliest recordings to the more meditative, electronic, and experimental mode of the studio albums that followed.
Plight & Premonition is the first of two collaborations between David Sylvian and Can's bassist Holger Czukay, Flux + Mutability being their second. It was released in March 1988. The music is ambient, makes use of 'found sounds'. It consists of two instrumental tracks, both of which are over 15 minutes long. The album peaked at no.71 in the UK albums chart.
Soon Over Babaluma is the sixth studio album by the rock music group Can.

Agilok & Blubbo is the soundtrack album to the German film of the same name. It is notable in being one of the earliest recordings of the German rock band The Inner Space, who soon became Can. However it was not released until 2009. Along with the band's next soundtrack, Kamasutra: Vollendung Der Liebe, none of its material was put on the band's 1970 compilation Soundtracks, which exclusively featured material the band provided for numerous films. As a result the album remains a rarity. The tracks "Kamera Song" and "Agilok and Blubbo" were released together as a single.
