MOJO, issue 218 - January 2012, has a great six page CAN feature with new interviews and illustrated with some brilliant photographs that even we haven't seen for 40 years!
CAN were the root source of a ’70s ritual groove that still resonates today. On the eve of new box set of unearthed tracks, Ian Harrison speaks to the magicians themselves about their mysterious, hypnotic sound.
It's a great accompaniment to the 40th Anniversary re-issue of Tago Mago and the forthcoming Lost Tapes.
There is a great collection of CAN Video, Audio and Documentary clips on the CanFanPage YouTube Channel.
