Canaxis

Holger Czukay

A few months after the foundation of Can, Holger Czukay recorded his first solo album, Canaxis, in 1969. Canaxis is an experimental foray which fuses ambient, world music and an early form of sampling, a good 10 years before anybody else in the rock music field even started to get to grips with any of those ideas. Working with producer/engineer Rolf Dammers, Canaxis was assembled from thousands of snippets recorded from short wave radio, a long standing obsession of Czukay's which he also incorporated into some of Can's later albums.

For many years Canaxis was a real rarity, as only 1000 copies were printed and only released in Germany. This definitive Revisited reissue contains the original recording digitally remastered from the original tapes, including two bonus tracks, new liner notes by Holger and is housed in deluxe digipak format with the original artwork.
