If we take a summary, boys and girls just ain't the same

Thursday music corner: Can was a pioneering German experimental rock band chiefly active from 1968 to 1979, with members including the avant-garde and ambient devotee Holger Czukay (1938-2017) and Japanese lead singer Damo Suzuki (1950-2024). The band released eleven studio albums over a twenty-year period from 1969, including perhaps their most successful and experimental effort, Tago Mago in 1971.

The android funk track I Want More was a single and the opening track from Can's seventh's studio album, Flow Motion (1976). The single was a rare commercial success for Can, reaching number 26 in the UK pop charts and earning the band an appearance on Top of the Pops. As with most of the other six tracks on the album the music was by the four band members and the lyrics were by the band's sound engineer, Peter Gilmour.
