Through most of the 1980’s, Can was either dormant or in a state of flux – Irmin Schmidt released recordings regularly throughout the 1980’s – uneven, to be sure, but usually pretty good stuff. The best things here are the volumes of “Film Musik”, particularly Volumes 3 & 4. “You Make Me Nervous”, “Mary In A Coma” etc. I couldn’t find “Musk At Dusk” on CD at the time, hence my having a Mute Records re-issue CD (but I did find the original WEA Germany LP). I was in Europe for the ’91 release of “Impossible Holidays”, but, sadly, I wasn’t buying LP’s much at the time. I recently recommended the 3CD “Anthology” (of Film Musik) to a friend of mine, upon seeing an inexpensive used copy.
Still working on “Gormenghast”, “Masters Of Confusion” and “Axolotl Eyes” – but I tore right into his 2009 “Film Musik Anthology Vol. 4 & 5”! Still great stuff!

…what a brilliant vocal on “You Make Me Nervous”.
Yeah, a great album!
