Day 0220 - Tago Mago

Can "Tago Mago" (1971) - got it


I've actually been looking for a copy of this for ages (and have, since writing this, picked up a copy). When I did my Europe trip in 2012, in Glasgow I met up with a couple of friends, one of whom hosted us (him and his lovely family).  He had walls of CDs, DVDs and comic books and we had a brilliant night of eating pizza, drinking beer, and talking and listening to music. I put on a number of albums he had that I'd been wanting to listen to, including this one.

So yes, some good memories on top of excellent music.  This album just covers a whole lot of musical ground that I'm fond of, with some noise rock, crazed vocals, droning grooves, and other just really interesting sounds.   Exploratory and weird, but with a sort of internal coherence.
