Stuart Maconie collates tributes to Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit and plays some of the band's best-known and best-loved tracks.

Stuart collates tributes to drummer Jaki Liebezeit, the monster metronome of Can and plays their best known and best loved tracks. Jah Wobble who made several albums with Jaki and Holgar Czukay in the 1980s speaks about Jaki's zen like calm and German reductionist approach the the drum kit. Plus Can super-fan Geoff Barrow from Portishead describes how he became engrossed with Can's 'magic music', their ability to combine European classical, avant-garde and American blues and Jaki's intense clarity in the fundamentals of rhythm.
