5 stars Tago Mago is one of the most sweeping and fluid albums of all time. Everything this album touches on, ambience, atmosphere, electronics, fusion, solos, everything is extremely well placed while sounding raw at the same time. No one sounds like Can, and Tago Mago is a perfect example. Suzuki's emotional vocals, the intense percussion, the fast-paced breaks, the droning atmospheric drops, everything blends together in one giant spread of perfected audio liquid. Pour it on your sandwich and you have a revolution like peanut butter and jelly. You can't get more bizarre yet completely listenable, so impressive, and so real with being so fun and infinitely grabbing and intriguing. Simply essential, I don't know what more to add besudes that this album is the kind of album that any experimenter would hope to achieve the results of. Amazing.

Standouts: Mushroom, Halleluwah
