I can only speak for Can because I haven't heard Magma, but your comment is spot on.

I have been getting into Can a lot lately, and find one of the amazing things about their music is that it hasn't aged. One could insert a Can track into any indie college radio station play list and no one would ever know the difference.
So much music. So little time.

ErmmC'est la vie.

Language issues (major factor) and even era (obviously a factor) aside, Can and Magma obviously just don't have the mass appeal of the other acts named.

What of it? Their fans like them, and not all music can be equally popular.

What I love about Can is the way that Damo Suzuki sings, almost impossible to hear what he sings

All right, I'll help you out.

Seriously though, Can and Magma were extremely innovative for rock music, but I heard similar stuff done by jazz musicians and done significantly better to boot, so the elements that should strike me as innovative simply don't do so.

I wonder if this is the biggest reason why I often find listening to Ege Bamyasi a near hypnotic experience; I can easily push the repeat for this record three or four times once I get in the groove, heh.

I would already have expanded my Can collection if it wasn´t for the high prizes of their records  

Still only contemplating on buying something in regards to Magma

Can and Magma are bands that ought to be second nature to fans of outsider rock music, a bit surprised that I see so many unfamiliar or dont care on a "progressve" rock forum, then again I just started here so Im just feeling my way around you peeps,

I have the same reaction to Future Days which has always been my favorite from them.

Be sure to check out Magma... they are quite something.

Thanks... and yes, but if we are going to that territory, then we can simply go satright to those tough contemporary composers, such as Berio or Stockhausen. They really really pushed the limits of music... Magma, I agree. A very curious mix between modern opera and John Coltrane. Can, on the other hand, presents a much more misterious background, and, as someone has already said, really brought something "new" to the world. Something that is feeding too many bands now...
