The Barbican in London recently hosted a very special event to mark CAN’s 50th anniversary year: Irmin Schmidt conducted the London Symphony Orchestra and presented the world premiere of Can Dialog, an original orchestral work composed by Schmidt and Gregor Schwellenbach. Also appearing during the premiere was a specially curated supergroup brought together by Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore featuring CAN’s first singer, Malcolm Mooney, performing a set of CAN tracks, including “She Brings The Rain,” “Yoo Doo Right” and “Mother Sky.” In spring 2018, Faber & Faber are publishing a new book devoted to CAN titled All Gates Open. The special edition will come in two volumes: one will be the first complete, authorized biography of the band written by Rob Young and the second, Can Kiosk by Irmin Schmidt, is a collage of thoughts, visuals and interviews (interviews collated by Max Dax and Robert Defcon).   Stream The Singles Buy The Singles
