"Out of Reach" is the ninth studio album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released on LP in 1978 by Harvest Records. Despite being labeled as their ninth studio album, it is actually their tenth official studio release when excluding compilations like "Unlimited Edition."
The album "Out of Reach" represents a unique chapter in Can's discography, characterized by a departure from their earlier experimental and improvisational style towards a more conventional rock sound. This shift is partly attributed to the departure of vocalist Damo Suzuki, who had been a central figure in their previous albums. On "Out of Reach," the band explores more structured songwriting and incorporates elements of jazz, funk, and psychedelic rock.
While the album didn't achieve the critical acclaim of their earlier works, it still captures Can's musical evolution and experimental spirit. Over time, "Out of Reach" has gained some recognition among fans and critics as a testament to the band's versatility and willingness to explore new musical territories.
