Czukay,holger - Movies - Music CD

Upon examining the eventful life of Can bassist Holger Czukay, one might come to the conclusion that this intrepid musician was a loner. His turbulent career exuded an enduring eccentricity governed by a boundless free spirit. Yet Czukay, who passed away unexpectedly in 2017 at the age of 79, constantly emphasized that his creativity was always contingent upon a musical partner, whether that was a skin-and-bones counterpart or an anonymous manifestation that interacted with him through radio waves or, as happened later, the internet. Nonetheless, most of his partners were of flesh and blood. His post-Can career comprised a string of solo albums as well as collaborations on albums, singles and remixes. In 1979 he released his imaginative and technically impressive second solo effort, Movies which features contributions from Can cohorts Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli and Jaki Liebezeit plus former Can collaborator Rebop Kwaku Baah.
