Saw Delight

"Saw Delight," released on March 1, 1977, by the pioneering German band CAN, is a captivating blend of krautrock, space rock, and progressive influences, marking a significant evolution in their sound. This album, their eighth studio effort, saw a notable shift with Holger Czukay moving from bass to incorporating radio broadcasts using a wave receiver, adding a unique experimental touch to the record.

The five-track album, spanning just 37 minutes, offers a diverse musical journey. It begins with the hypnotic "Don't Say No," a track that sets the tone for the album's exploratory nature. "Sunshine Day and Night" continues the groove, while "Animal Waves" showcases the band's ability to merge psychedelic rock with art rock elements. "Call Me" and "Fly by Night" round out the album, each contributing to the album's eclectic and innovative spirit.

Originally released on Spoon Records, "Saw Delight" has been remastered and made available on vinyl, CD, and digital platforms, allowing new generations to experience CAN's groundbreaking work. Despite a mixed reception upon its release, the album has since been recognized for its experimental bravado and influence on various rock subgenres. For fans of CAN and enthusiasts of experimental rock, "Saw Delight" remains a compelling exploration of sound and innovation.
