Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui Can ma Cologne i ka makahiki 1968, a ma Iune i hana ai ka hui i kahi hoʻopaʻa leo i ka wā e hana ai ka hui ma kahi hōʻikeʻike kiʻi. A laila, kono ʻia ka mea hoʻokani leo ʻo Manny Lee.
Ua hoʻopiha ʻia ke mele me ka improvisation, a ʻo ka disc i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma hope i kapa ʻia ʻo Prehistoric future.
I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hui pū kekahi kanaka akamai, akā paʻakikī loa ʻAmelika, ʻo Malcolm Mooney. Me ia, ua haku ʻia nā haku mele no ka disc Prepared to Meet Thy Pnoom, ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia e ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo.

ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻano ʻano ʻē a Malcolm Mooney i hoʻohui i ka quirkiness a me ka hypnotism i nā mele, i hoʻoikaika ʻia e funk, garage a me psychedelic rock.
ʻO ka mea nui i loko o nā haku o ka hui Can ʻo ia ka ʻāpana mele, ʻo ia ka bass guitar a me nā pahu, a ʻo Liebetzeit (kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani pila phenomenal) ʻo ia ke alakaʻi i kā lākou manaʻo hoʻomohala.
Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua haʻalele ʻo Muni i ʻAmelika, a ma kahi o Kenji Suzuki, i hele mai i Iapana, i kaʻahele a puni ʻEulopa ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila alanui, ua komo i ka hui.
Ua ʻike ʻia kāna hana e nā lālā o ka hui a kono ʻia i kona wahi, ʻoiai ʻaʻohe ona hoʻonaʻauao mele. I kēlā ahiahi hoʻokahi, hīmeni ʻo ia ma kahi ʻaha mele Can. ʻO ka diski mua me kāna mau leo i kapa ʻia ʻo Soundtracks (1970).
ʻO ka lā nui o ka hana a ka hui: 1971-1973
I loko o kēia manawa, ua hana ka hui i kā lākou mau mele kaulana loa, kahi i hana nui i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke ala o ke mele kraut rock.
Ua loli pū ke ʻano mele o ka hui, i kēia manawa ua loli a improvisational. ʻO kahi album pālua i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka makahiki 1971, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Tago Mago he mea hou loa a ʻaʻole maʻamau.
ʻO ke kumu o ka mele ʻo ia ka rhythmic, jazz-like percussion, improvisation ma ke kīkā, solo ma nā kī a me ka leo maʻamau o Suzuki.
I ka makahiki 1972, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi disc avant-garde ʻo Ege Bamyasi, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo wehe ʻo Inner Space. Ua ukali ʻia kēia ma 1973 e ka ambient CD Future Days, i lilo i mea lanakila loa.
A ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua mare ʻo Suzuki a hele i ka ʻaoʻao o nā Molimau a Iēhova, a haʻalele i ka hui Can. I kēia manawa ua lilo ʻo Karoli lāua ʻo Schmidt i mau leo leo, akā i kēia manawa ua emi ka helu o nā leo i nā haku mele o ka hui, a ua hoʻomau ʻia nā hoʻokolohua me ka ambient.
Ka emi o ka hui: 1974-1979
I ka makahiki 1974, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka album Soon Over Babaluma ma ke ʻano like. Ma 1975 ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hana me ka hui mele Pelekane ʻo Virgin Records a me ka German EMI/Harvest.
I ka manawa like, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo Landed, a i ka makahiki 1976 - ka Flow Motion disc, i kani mua ʻia a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. A ʻo ka mele I Want More from Flow Motion ʻo ia wale nō ka moʻolelo i lilo i mea paʻi ma waho o Kelemānia a ua loaʻa i ka 26th wahi ma nā palapala ʻōlelo Pelekane.
I ka makahiki aʻe, ua komo pū ka hui iā Traffic Roscoe G (bass) a me Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion), a ua lilo pū i poʻe leo leo ma nā album Saw Delight, Out of Reach and Can.
A laila aneane ʻaʻole i komo ʻo Shukai i ka hana a ka hui ma muli o ka hoʻopili ʻana o ka wahine a Schmidt i kā lākou hana.
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ka hui ma ka hopena o 1977. Ma hope o 1979, hiki ke wehe ʻia, ʻoiai ua hana pū nā lālā i kekahi manawa ma nā papahana solo.
Ma hope o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana o ka hui: 1980 a me nā makahiki e hiki mai ana
Ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hui, ua komo kona mau lālā i nā papahana like ʻole, he mau mea pāʻani manawa.
I ka makahiki 1986, ua hui hou ʻia a ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi leo leo ma lalo o ka inoa Rite Time, kahi ʻo Malcolm Mooney ka mea hoʻokani leo. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album ma 1989 wale nō.
A laila hoʻopuehu hou ka poʻe mele. Ua ʻākoakoa hou lākou i ka makahiki 1991 e hoʻopaʻa mele, no ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni "When the World Ends", a ma hope iho ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi helu nui o nā hōʻiliʻili o nā mele like ʻole a me nā hana ʻahamele.
I ka makahiki 1999, hoʻokani nā mea hoʻokani pila mai ka laina nui (Karoli, Schmidt, Liebetzeit, Shukai) i hoʻokahi'ahamele, akā kaʻawale, no ka mea, ua loaʻa i nā mea a pau kahi papahana solo.
I ka hāʻule o 2001, ua make ʻo Michael Caroli, ka mea i maʻi i ka maʻi kanesa no ka manawa lōʻihi. Mai ka makahiki 2004, ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻokuʻu hou ʻana o nā album i hala ma nā CD.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Holger Shukai i nā papahana hoʻokahi ma ke ʻano ambient. Ua hoʻokani ʻo Yaki Liebetzeit ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pahu hoʻopaʻa leo me nā hui he nui.
Ua hana pū ʻo Michael Karoli ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila, a ua hoʻokuʻu pū i kahi papahana solo kahi i mele ai ʻo Polly Eltes, a ma 1999 ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka hui Sofortkontakt!
Ua hana ʻo Irmin Schmidt me ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Martin Atkins a hana ʻia no nā hui like ʻole.
Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Suzuki e lawe hou i ke mele i ka makahiki 1983 a ua komo i nā hana hoʻokani ma nā ʻāina he nui me nā mea mele like ʻole, i kekahi manawa e hoʻopaʻa i nā hana ola.
Ua haʻalele ʻo Malcolm Mooney i ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1969 a lilo hou i mea pena, akā i ka makahiki 1998 he mea hoʻokani leo ʻo ia ma ka hui ʻo Tenth Planet.
Ua hoʻokani pila ʻo Rosco Gee i kahi hui ma ka hōʻike TV a Harald Schmidt mai 1995. Ua make ʻo Ribop Kwaku Baah i ka maʻi hemorrhage i ka makahiki 1983.
