Can - Vitamin C
This was the first track I ever heard by the German band Can, and it only took one listen to get me hooked. When I found out that this song from the record Ege Bamyasi actually came out in 1972, I was quite surprised. If I would have been made to guess, I would have shot for the 90's. Alas, being dubbed an "experimental" band, the mentioned record can be challenging to listen to at times if one's not accustomed to experimental or krautrock. However, their occasional clean, vacant sound, which can be heard on this track really showcases their influence on the post-punk and no-wave, and even disco-punk movements.
With a discography that spans 1968 to approximately the 90's, there's quite a bit of Can records left for me to sift through. This is definitely just the beginning.
