It´s not really fair, I´ve had Tago Mago for 6 or 7 years and I absolutely love it. Ahvak came last week.... All set aside, I find it very unlikely that it will ever be as good- going on my 20th spin right now.

I'm with James on this one, Ahvak is much more interesting to me. Admitedly, I havnt heard either album in its entirety but Can's style just doesnt appeal to me at all.

Ahvak is excellent, but Tago Mago is one of my all-time favourites. I generally agree with Logan's sentiments - it had much more impact on me.

Wow, very nice james. Tago Mago is one of those albums that a lot of members here love, it is nice to see that there are people who think different.

I am with you on this.

I actually don't like Tago Mago all that much. I haven't heard the other album in your poll, but I much prefer Ege Bamyasi.

Both suck. Can made Future Days, so they're redeemed at least.

I feel like that will be how I vote once I'm more familiar with Ahvak, because unlike some people I don't think Tago Mago has any weak moments.   I'm only 12 minutes into my second ever listen of Ahvak, though, so my opinion could change once I'm a bit more familiar with it.  As I said in the Shred, I'll vote once I've given the album a year or so to settle in.


Tago Mago was more challenging for me than Ahvak to really like (I really liked Ahvak on first listen), but Tago Mago really grew on me, and was for me, definitely the more ear-opening album. I don't think it's at all weak either.  As good as Ahvak is (and I've certainly shared my love for this album in the fora before), it hasn't had the same impact.  Nor has it had the same impact on me as albums by modern bands in PA such as Volapuk.
