Tago Mago

Tago Mago is the second studio album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released as a double LP in August 1971 on the United Artists label.

Recorded in a rented castle near Cologne, the album features long-form experimental tracks blending rock improvisation, funk rhythms, and musique concrète techniques.
