About the album

Cologne's Can were pioneers of krautrock, building hypnotic, improvised grooves around Jaki Liebezeit's endlessly inventive drumming. Future Days took their sound somewhere new: lighter, more spacious and more richly produced than anything they'd done before, with Damo Suzuki's voice floating in the mix.

The title track drifts like a warm summer afternoon, "Spray" is loose and exploratory, "Moonshake" is a short, funky pop gem, and side two's "Bel Air" is a 20-minute journey. One biographer called it the band's "most weightless achievement."
