"GODPARENTS OF THE 'INDIE' AVANT-GARDE" - www.perfectsoundforever.com
"ALWAYS AT LEAST THREE STEPS AHEAD OF CONTEMPORARY POPULAR MUSIC, CAN WERE THE LEADING AVANT-GARDE ROCK GROUP OF THE '70S. FROM THEIR VERY BEGINNING, THEIR MUSIC DIDN'T CONFORM TO ANY COMMONLY HELD NOTIONS ABOUT ROCK ROLL — NOT EVEN THOSE OF THE COUNTERCULTURES." - www.allmusic.com
"SEMINAL"
"INFLUENTIAL"
"WE WERE NEVER A NORMAL ROCK GROUP. CAN WAS AN ANARCHIST COMMUNITY." - Irmin Schmidt
