Can – Tago Mago

Karte fehlt was mir eigentlich egal ist das wars

This one seems polarizing, but I have the orange version and it sounds amazing. Dynamics are fantastic. It’s a little hot but that suits this record well.

What's the definitive version of this album? I have yet to find one (in any format) that doesn't have serious shrill distortion, especially on the first track. Is it just innate to the original recording?

I bought this for 20 euros in a shop, knowing only that it's experimental rock and that it's considered to be one of the best albums of all time. If I knew what I was going to hear...
This album is absolutely brilliant and nightmarish, I should have listened to it much sooner!
The pressing and the sound are very good.
Anyway, I think it's become one of my favourite albums of all time for me too...

The orange vinyl sounds surprisingly excellent. Nice separation, quiet, and with a full sound. My only complaint is that the mid and high end is a bit too forward for my tastes, but a little EQ helps put it in my sweet spot. The music here is essential. Sure, it has some freakout moments that may a bit too loose, but Tago Mago grooves and weaves in a wonderful stream-of-consciousness manner that's easy to get lost in. Not for casual listening, but that's sort of the point. This is an album to be experienced. Sleeve quality on this pressing is also top-notch.

Sounds good I'm general, far too hot in the high frequencies for me and bass heavy. Mid-range neglected slightly.

This sounds really good. I would not have guessed it was digitally sourced. Very dynamic sounding LP of this timeless music.

Incredible pressing of this mind melting album. Not sure if this is an analog or digital transfer but I love the way this sounds and is a great alternative to spending outrageous amounts of money on earlier copies.

Does anyone out there know what year this pressing is from??????

I purchased this in 2024. The hype sticker incorrectly labels it as orange vinyl. It is black vinyl. I know there are orange versions, but mine, sadly, is incorrectly promoted on the sticker.
