Not the other guy, but I can definitely say this for Tago Mago. The jams are obviously psychedelic jams from the previous decade. The motorik is stuff Klaus Dinger and TVU's drummer were already doing. The weird stuff on the second half is so obviously what Manfred Schoof was doing (Jaki was with Schoof before Can after all) in terms of the crazy percussive sounds, while the electronic stuff was already done by Faust to a greater extent a year before.

Imo Can didn't really come into their own style until Future Days, and while Tago Mago may seem far more unique today because an ENORMOUS amount of musicians are influenced by Future Days' sounds/atmosphere, Future Days is by far the more original and revolutionary and ground breaking album.

>>65533217
If you think can is 100% real experimental you're wrong. I love Tago Mago, and Future Days is probably within my top 10 albums, but real experimental that breaks new ground is rarely as digestible as something like Tago Mago.

Albums like Tago Mago are culminations of other experimental ideas put into a record that is easier to listen to, real experimental ranges from absolute trash to weird shit that you wouldn't normally listen to.

definitely aotysf, but considering foodman's earlier output, i wouldn't say it's totally revolutionizing. does anyone know of other artists that might have inspired foodman or makes music in a similar style, with similar ideas? maybe other japanese footwork (i did google this, so don't just send me some generic jap juke)

>Smile became the progenitor for indie rock. and its saga became a touchstone for the more art-inclined branches of post-punk

>The Elephant 6 Recording Company, a collective of independent artists which include Apples in Stereo, the Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, Beulah, Elf Power, and Of Montreal, was founded through a mutual admiration of 1960s pop music, with Smile being "their Holy Grail".

>Elvis Costello described a Smile piano demo of "Surf's Up" as akin to an original recording of Mozart in performance

>Questlove of neo soul band the Roots said "[Brian Wilson]'s a modern-day Stravinsky … The way he constructs his music, he's a madman. … He was doing stuff [40 years ago] that modern people do now

>Black Flag vocalist Henry Rollins has written enormous praise to Smile, calling the album "one of the best things you are likely to hear in all of your life. There are moments on Smile that are so astonishingly good you might find yourself just staring at your speakers in unguarded wonder, as I have."

>Don Was of Was (Not Was) has said, "In the fall of 1989, I was working with a band who turned me on to the bootlegged recordings of Brian Wilson's legendary, aborted Smile sessions. Like a musical burning bush, these tapes awakened me to a higher consciousness in record making. I was amazed that one, single human could dream up this unprecedented and radically advanced approach to rock 'n roll."

>Speaking about Smile, Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins has said, "I really hear America. I really feel that he was trying to sum up America. He was literally trying to bring Mark Twain into rock and roll, and he almost got there."

Nice try.

If you want to talk quotes, Brian Wilson said The Beatles beat him to the punch with the Sgt Pepper sessions. Hence THAT was the real groundbreaking material, not Smile.

Why? Your rubric is "Someone who knows more about music than you" (Brian Wilson) said so (They beat me to the punch).

It's literally your own logic.

So you just go ahead and assume that he meant musically, despite the two albums being polar opposites and SMiLE consciously moving away from psych cliches that Pepper embraces? Ok then...

You are making assumptions as well. Are you intentionally being retard now?
>consciously moving away from psych cliches that Pepper embraces? Ok then...
Like what?

SMiLE is full of psyche cliches you dummy
>>
>>65545652
Pepper contains: strong Indian influence, Sitar and Tabla, Acid guitars, all stuff that SMiLE actively avoids, and that had saturated rock music heavily up to this point.

This difference is, my assumption is logical, yours isn't.

The only cliches are in the sense of the subject matter, musically it's completely left-field for psych rock, but go ahead and name some, burden of proof and all that
>>
>>65533453
music I don't like
>>
>>65545745
SMiLE contains: surreal lyrics, overabundance of reverb, tape delay, fuzzed out guitars, non-traditional instruments in a rock context, use of the recording studio as an instrument.

Nice try though
>and that had saturated rock music heavily up to this point.
Incorrect. Many of SMiLE's qualities were used in psychedelic music for the last 40 years. See

I loved Unicorn Porn, but you're retarded. It is not in the slightest bit experimental, a couple odd time signatures and ambient outros don't make an album experimental.

For everyone else, it's still a solid prog metal release I recommend everyone check out.
>>
We can adjust the definition of experimental and groundbreaking to the point where there is simultaneously no experimental/groundbreaking "band", since everything that's happened in music has been a consequence of whatever happened before, or every single band that does something that another band hasn't done before, even if that something is as inane as playing an electric guitar plugged into a bass amplifier, is groundbreaking and is experimental.

So what is the point of this thread? Is it a thinly veiled "look at my 'weird' music" thread?
