Probably their earliest available recording (with flautist David Johnson), they absolutely nailed it down from the start.Horrible but amusing, also from the Inner Space years (available via Crippled Dick.)Additionally, Tago Mago has just turned 40, the bonus disc has an absolutely scorching live version of Mushroom that I've never heard before.

The only track on Tago Mago that I would say is danceable is Hallewujah. Paper House is just a flawless tune. I think Ege Bamyasi has more songs on it that I would describe as danceable.

Monster Movie and Ege Bamyasi are nearly perfect albums. Oddly enough, Tago Mago is probably my LEAST favorite Can album (though I haven't heard any of the post-Damo stuff).Very, very not crap.

Saw Skolimowski's Deep End a few nights ago, and there's a sequence that features almost all of "Mother Sky" as background. Good stuff.

The musique concrete solo in Moonshake is far out. Never tire of hearing it.

Not that much into post-Damo albums, but the early stuff is NOT CRAP, zero waffles.
