I’m a fan of the German band Can and can’t imagine you’d be considering this SACD if you weren’t as well. I really cannot speak much to the quality of the SACD because I’ve never heard any other release. However both the mix and separation work for me and I’m not disappointed with the sound.
This is an absolute must have for any Can aficionado. The raw and aggressive performances differ quite a bit from the early releases and present a new perspective on the band’s ideas and influences. This is not the Can to Kraftwerk to modern EDM, etc., avenue. If anything the disc I was most reminded of in listening to 1968 was the V.U.’s “White Light, White Heat”. It is that aggressive and that daring.
