Ege Bamyasi saw Can moving from the pure experimentalism of Tago Mago towards the avant-pop nirvana which would find its most sublime expression on their next album, Future Days. As a bridge between the two, Ege Bamyasi mixes stark Euro-funk with ethereality in doses of brilliantly original music operating far beyond the confines of conventional rock. In this starless yet dazzling void, Can stand unassailable; and in a year when German music continually hit new peaks, Ege Bamyasi ensured that they were once more at the forefront.
