Krautrock, as it was coined by a British Journalist, referred to the creative spark that ignited in Germany in the late 60s and early 70s: bands such as Neu!, Cluster, Harmonia, Kraftwerk, Amon Duul and Can came to be some of the most novel and exciting at the time. With Mago and Bamyasi, they cemented their legacy with Future Days, they cemented their deification. Their three-album run from 1971’s Tago Mago to 1972’s Ege Bamyasi and concluding with Future Days, remains indisputably influential- informing almost every genre and artist. Title aside, the similarities to Can’s discography are prescient. Traditionally used as a way of telling the future, its inclusion is by no means a coincidence. At the bottom of the bed of sensuous purple that backdrops the cover to Can’s 1973 album Future Days is one of the ancient Chinese ‘I Ching’ symbols.
