    "comment": "The classic Can track was recorded in 1972 at Inner Space Studio in Weilerswist, Germany, which was actually the band’s own converted living room studio. This gave them complete freedom to experiment without the pressure of a commercial studio.\n\nHolger Czukay, the bassist, often recorded his parts with unconventional techniques, like cutting tape loops or manipulating feedback, which added a slightly disorienting, off-kilter feel to the rhythm. Meanwhile, Jaki Liebezeit plays drums with such mechanical precision that the song achieves its hypnotic, almost trance-like pulse — even though it was all recorded live.",
