Holger Czukay was a German musician known for his influential work as a member of the rock group Can. Born on March 24th, 1938 in Gdansk, Poland, he studied under Karlheinz Stockhausen from 1963–1966 before co-founding Can in 1968. In addition to playing bass guitar for the band, Czukay also took charge of most of their recording and engineering. He was recognized for his early ambient albums and his innovative use of radio sounds and sampling.

Czukay's musical contributions extended beyond his work with Can. He recorded several solo albums that showcased his talent and creativity. His unique style influenced artists such as Cluster, Harmonia, Moebius, Michael Rother, Popol Vuh, Amon Düül II, Ashra, Roedelius, Faust, Guru Guru, Agitation Free and many others.

Back In Stock

Re-release after 15 years of Holger Czukay's early solo work. 'On The Way To The Peak Of Normal' is the third album by Holger Czukay, originally released in 1981. After 'Movies', his first post-Can solo album, Czukay continued exploring the methods of sampling and laidback jamming on this follow-up. The side long 'Ode To Perfume' / 'Fragrance' coasts along on some heavily twangy guitar, shortwave static, treated vocals, and drunken trumpet, all in a hypnotic late night groove. Intended as environmental music for some underlit, velvet clad chillout room, the album can be seen as one long rumination on improvised understatement.LP - Limited White Vinyl.
