Complete agreement Boxer. Very sorry to hear this. Been listening to CAN since the early 70's, first on a Chicago underground station "Triad". Those were also my first 2 purchases, though now I've got 24 LP's and a couple CD's. From what I've read, CAN could not have existed without his direction. I've only heard/found a small amount of his solo/other material and so far I've been sadly unimpressed.
Could you suggest anything else in his catalogue that you find particularly delightful? I realize due his creativity this is highly subjective but I'm sure he's got to have a few other good LP's out there. I prefer the classic LP's with top favorites of; Ege Bamyasi, Future Days, Tago Mago, Soundtracks, Monster Movie and The Lost Tapes, in that order.
Any incites would be appreciated at this sad time. Thank you, arte
