four track 180 gram vinyl. cyclopean is a collaboration from burnt friedman, jono podmore and can founding members jaki liebezeit, and irmin schmidt. after the release of 'the lost tapes', can's legacy has never felt more apparent than now, and cyclopean brings together two giants from this legendary band, jaki liebezeit and irmin schmidt alongside long time collaborators jono podmore (kumo / metamono) and musician and producer burnt friedman. as you might expect from the line-up, the four tracks are profoundly original and bursting with imagination. the title provides a metaphor for the music: cyclopean forms are beautiful, massive and intriguing structures that interlock, intersect and connect seemingly contradictory components. cyclopean is the first time that friedman, liebezeit, podmore and schmidt have worked together.
