It is time we venture into the uniquely German subgenre of Krautrock with Future Days by Can. On this album, Can definitely thrive in the experimental spirit of progressive rock as they craft pieces that might be described as avant-garde, experimental, or psychedelic. With the structures of songs being very loose and with an emphasis on sustained moods, one might even say they elicit a "jam band" vibe. While much of the music doesn\'t seem like it demands active listening, it also exhibits virtuosity in a much more nuanced way than most other progressive rock bands. In addition to the elements on this record, Destin and Drew give a brief history of the Krautrock movement and Can\'s philosophy of music.
