Can - "Oh Yeah"

Can is a group that I don't know much about, but I've really enjoyed the stuff that I've heard. They are a German "experimental rock" band that formed in 1968. I first discovered Can when listening to a podcast from Gilles Peterson's radio program on BBC Radio 1. I consider Gilles to be a guy with great musical taste, and I highly recommend his program to anyone who finds the music that I post in this blog to be interesting. Here is a link to his BBC homepage:

The track that I have selected from Can is entitled "Oh Yeah" and can be found on their 1971 release Tago Mago. Except for the drum beat (which remains consistent throughout), the track changes direction at the 3:14 mark. Give it a listen and see what you think.
