"Delay 1968" is a captivating compilation album by the pioneering German band Can, released in 1981 but recorded three years earlier, in 1968. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the band's early sound, featuring their original lead vocalist Malcolm Mooney, before the iconic Damo Suzuki joined the lineup. The album's seven tracks showcase Can's experimental and eclectic approach to rock music, blending elements of krautrock, psychedelic rock, and proto-punk. With a runtime of just 35 minutes, "Delay 1968" is a concise yet powerful journey through the band's formative years. The album's raw and energetic sound sets it apart from Can's later, more ambient works, making it a fascinating listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Recorded before their debut album "Monster Movie," these tracks offer a rare opportunity to hear the band's early creative process and the foundation of their innovative sound.
