When I first heard 'Monster Movie' (nearly 40 years ago...Lol), I found it to be a wonderful mix of very 'Velvet Underground' influenced trance psych/rock, ala 'Sister Ray', or 'The Gift', with touches of Karlheinz Stockhausen here and there, topped off with a couple more straight ahead psych rockers....here's an excerpt from 'Father Cannot Yell', a song featured on the 'Monster Movie' album...and one of my favorites. Malcolm's babbling/narrative style of singing reminds me of Lou Reed or John Cale (with German accents) in many ways... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZiMT4TaYvM&feature=PlayList&p=3CA984C773C67B83&index=17 Here's a couple more great tracks from the 'Monster Movie' album... Outside My Door: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTDogzwD5rY&feature=related Mary, Mary So Contrary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDpBKqukFU&feature=related But you're right...the album is amazing, and to this day I still hold it in high regard. Their follow up album 'Soundtracks' is equally entertaining, and if you haven't heard it yet...it's highly recommended. Their style seemed to do a complete turn after Malcolm left the band...but I still enjoyed everything that 'Can' did with Damon as well. Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, and Future Days being my favorite albums with him...fantastic band!<br><b>References : </b><br> I loved the early ‘Can’ albums with Malcolm Mooney.
