An expanded reissue of the Seventies krautrockers Can’s Tago Mago album stuffed the stocking of many a former head this Christmas, but front man Damo Suzuki has never become a nostalgia act. The former busker continues his endless global tour, spieling spontaneous vocalese over sympathetic sound-beds from ad-hoc assemblies of like-minded locals wherever he lands.
Here he is in Italy last year, growling groovy gibberish over locked rhythms, synth noise, and the interlocutions of a sensitive flautist, who engages in provocative conversational probing.
Three steps ahead of the moment, Suzuki somehow works towards perfectly pitched musical climaxes.
