Can - Mother Sky (re-edited)

 

"I know this is sacrilege to say, but I prefer this edited version of Mother Sky on 1980 collection Cannibalism I to the original version on Soundtracks. True, I heard this version first but I’m inclined to appreciate brevity - this version lasts a mere 6:41 compared to the 14 minute original. When I finally heard the full version, I kept waiting for the good parts.  "

Sad to hear of Damo Suzuki’s death aged 74 - my old friend and colleague, Nell, shared on Facebook and she had such fond remembrances of dancing with him at a gig when he heard it was her birthday! Awesome individual (both actually!)
