Der pure Vinylrausch #72 – Tocotronic, The Fall, Can

In the organizer's words:

Pure Vinylrausch #72 on February 20 at 7:30 pm at Sputnik Kino am Südstern covers a wide range of music: from the Krautrock of CAN to the English post-punk of THE FALL and the post-rock of TOCOTRONIC!

Twenty years ago, the Hamburg school band Tocotronic released Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen (2005), a wonderfully circular album. The album of the month is characterized by the driving and persistently intertwining riffs of the two electric guitars. It sounds direct and powerful and captivates with ambiguous lyrics that oscillate between irony and pathos.

The rough sound and rhythmic loops of The Fall are a direct link to Tocotronic. With persistent pads, surprisingly catchy melodies and the sonorous voice of Mark E. Smith, This Nations Saving Grace (1985) is one of the band's most accessible albums.

The Fall song 'I Am Damo Suzuki' leads the way to an astonishing beginning, as the long improvisations, stoic rhythms and electronic soundscapes of Can resonate with both The Fall and Tocotronic. Ege Bamyasi (1972) is the last album to feature the idiosyncratic vocals of Damo Suzuki.

At Vinylrausch we listen to vinyl albums as works of art: from an excellent system, loud and concentrated in a dark cinema room, with an introduction and song lyrics and band photos in parallel on the screen.
