Out of Reach is one of the forgotten Cans. Maligned as misbegotten, it's actually better than advertised, albeit requiring some effort to penetrate the densely layered rhythmic structure. Out of Reach sometimes sounds complicated rather than complex. It took me many listens to appreciate the quality of this album.
This was the second album (after Saw Delight) since the replacement of original bassist Holger Czukay with the ex-traffic rhythm section of Rosko Gee (bass) and Reebop Kwaku Baah (percussion). While Gee and Baah were immensely talented musicians, their integration into the group was far from painless. It wasn't until the following album (the eponymous Can) that the group fully remeshed.
Out of Reach contains 7 tracks, and like many Can albums they are of very uneven quality, ranging from brilliant (November) to uninspired (Give me no "Roses") to enigmatic (Like Inobe God).
November is outstanding, even by Can standards. It's a 7:36 instrumental, superbly balanced, with beautiful Karoli guitar work and smoking acid-jazz-rock beats from Jaki. "Roses" is a lightweight Gee composition, while Inobe defies characterization. Some have objected to the slightly off-key vocals, but they are just part of the musical joke. Not everyone gets it.
The opening track, Serpentine, distills the promise and problem of Out of Reach. It's a 4:03 instrumental, featuring a brilliant combination of intertwining musical threads which veer from the sublime to the bombastic. Sometimes they seem to be trying too hard. Can at their best was free flowing genius, natural and spontaneous, playing with the boundaries of order and chaos, sound and silence. Serpentine is busy.
1978 was a low point for music in general. In the disco desert of the time, a few lonely islands of quality gamely played on: Peter Tosh was at his peak, and the brilliant new wave led by Talking Heads and Television swam against the tide. This period was rough on Can as well, but you can't keep a good dog down. They would back with a vengeance the next year, with their penultimate Can by Can.
Out of Reach is one of the lesser Can albums (along with Monster Movie, Delay 1968, and Saw Delight) but thirty years on it still rewards the listener with new revelations.By gerold firl, amazon
