Page "Can (band)" Paragraph 20

At least five notable bands have named themselves in tribute to Can: The Mooney Suzuki for Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki ; the indie rock band Spoon after the hit " Spoon "; the electronic band Egebamyasi, formed by Scottish musician Mr Egg in 1984, after Can's album Ege Bamyasi ; Hunters & Collectors after a song on the Landed album ; and Moonshake, named for a track on Future Days, and formed by ex-Wolfhounds frontman David Callahan.

The Scottish writer Alan Warner has written two novels in tribute to two different Can members ( Morvern Callar to Holger Czukay and The Man Who Walks to Michael Karoli respectively ).

The Sacrilege remix album features remixes of Can tracks by artists who were influenced by Can, including Sonic Youth and U. N. K. L. E .. Their ethnomusicological tendencies pre-date the craze for world music in the 1980s.

While not nearly as influential on electronic music as Kraftwerk, they were important early pioneers of ambient music, along with Tangerine Dream and the aforementioned band.

Many groups working in the post-rock genre can look to Can as an influence as part of the larger krautrock scene, as can New Prog bands such as The Mars Volta.

Kanye West has sampled " Sing Swan Song " on his song " Drunk & Hot Girls " from his 2007 album Graduation.

The UK band Loop was deeply influenced by Can for their repetitive polyrhythmic style, covering Can's " Mother Sky " on their Fade Out album.
