Generous, valeric, Jehovah’s Witness
Stands in Cologne Marktplatz
Drums come in
When the drums come in fast
Drums to shock, into brass evil
What have you got in that paper bag?
Is it a dose of Vitamin C?
Ain’t got no time for Western medicine
I am Damo Suzuki
The fuck-up like red acid rain
Give it to me Daki every day
Who is Mr. Karlheinz Stockhausen?
Introduce me
I’m Damo Suzuki
Soundtracks, Soundtracks
Melched together, the lights
The lights above you
Listener was in cahoots with Fritz Lieber
And read him every day
Recipe for fear gas, amount of salt ash
I put by [cup of] meine fire, okay
I have no time for Western medicine
I am Damo Suzuki
May we go back to days pre-Virgin
Cannot get on clear vinyl
The handle that was brass, is now brass evil
The rock that was an egg, is in wrong cradle
The hand that cradles the rock, makes egg gooey
I am Damo Suzuki
Is this west latent pattern?
Run it, says Damo’s spirit
Is this lesser European?
Speak it, says Damo’s spirit
I am Damo Suzuki

About three, four years ago I both saw Damo Suzuki and CAN solo projects: a concert with the current four bands of the original CAN members. Verdict: Damo still kicks ass, while CAN solo was pretty crap (except Jaki Liebezeits project which was bearable). So yeah, by any means go and see Damo. It’s pretty close to the original CAN stuff. He’s a very likable guy (kinda the Anti-MES ?!). He got down from stage and hugged the whole audience. That’s right: I got hugged by Damo Suzuki!!!
As for recommendations: a good fraction of the songs have this hypnotic rhythm (Jaki’s drums and Holger Czukay’s bass). Pure genius. Then Michel Karoli adds a pretty weak (compared to the rhythm) guitar. Then there are the experimental tracks (most famous is probably Aumgn). Here the tastes differ: some think it’s pure genius, some might say that it’s prog wanking. Personally I have to be in the right mood.
I would recommend Cannibalism 1, which is a nice compilation from the first couple of CAN records. There are also Cannibalsim 2 (later stuff) and 3 (solo stuff) which are not as good.
