	Damo Suzuki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suzuki spent the late 1960s wandering around Europe, often busking, during which time he would only have been a teenager.
		Suzuki was with Can from 1970 to 1973, recording a number of well-regarded albums such as Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi.
		Suzuki converted to the Jehovah's Witness faith when he married his German girlfriend of the faith after the release of album Future Days, and retired from music in 1974.

	Can
		Suzuki's waillings in unison with the guitar lines may be completely indiscernable, but the phrasing he uses complements the overall mood (whatever it exactly might be) to perfection.
		Suzuki is rowsing and hypnotic, Karoli just rips whenever the focus comes around to him (and he takes on several styles and moods throughout), Schmidt makes some solid contributions of his own near the end, and the rhythm section plows on and on in the tightest manner possible.
		Suzuki puts on one of his best ever performances in terms of beauty, taking on quite a few vocal melodies, and the band complements him (well, I guess it's the other way around, whatever) with quite a few different grooves throughout.

	Damo Suzuki (Interview)
		Damo: It was my misfortune to have cancer, and I had to have it operated on.
		Damo: Live performance is much more interesting for me than work in the studio because in the moment, we can play and we can record it, but in the studio, one thing that is quite important is that you don't have an audience.
		Damo: It's not just on the stage, it could be a musician who is instantly composing on the street, when I hear, there is some kind of communication.

	Catalyst Reviews
		Anti-war protesters - most sources say as many as 2,000 in number - came out to march against the city’s unwelcome guests - whose intention is to destroy the world in which they have to live.
		Damo Suzuki is on a ’Never-ending’ world tour.
		Damo Suzuki will undoubtedly be back in Liverpool in the not too distant future, and almost certainly with the superb musicians of Zukanican.

	damo suzuki
		Never really achieving the recognition due to him for helping to shape the sound of Can during the early 70's, Damo Suzuki seems to be the only ex-member of Can who prolifically reproduces the fire and creativity that sparkled through the early seventies.
		Since his return in the 80's, Damo has shunned the recording studio and chosen to pursue his art in a live format, amassing hours and hours of on stage recordings, demonstrating on the spot musical statements as the artist-audience fusion inspires Damo's stream of consciousness sonic explosions.
		Damo treats his voice in the same way Hendrix played his guitar (metaphorically that is, without the lighter fuel!) - playing straight from the heart and the head.

	Barikada - World Of Music
		Damo se koncem proslog stoljeca ponovno prihvatio mikrofona, poceo objavljivati zapazene albume i raditi turneje, da bi mu prije 2 godine na pamet pala nevjerojatna fikcija o beskrajnoj turneji, tko zna, mozda do kraja zivota...
		Jer Damo je oduvijek bio kultni underground pjevac i ikona kraut-rocka, pa mu stoga nije bilo tesko da kroz svoja mnogobrojna putovanja po svijetu pronadje adekvatne glazbenike i prave veze za ostvarenje njegovih ideja.
		Svijetla se postepeno prigusavaju nekih desetak minuta, Damo pjeva svoje univerzalne tekstove na varijanti engleskog i izmisljenog jezika, clanovi Tene Novak se hvataju svojih instrumenata i postupno prave glazbenu gradaciju na zadanu temu.

	Damo Suzuki : Vernissage - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Despite the fact that two-thirds of Damo Suzuki's lyrics are incomprehensible, the power of Suzuki's delivery makes it okay.
		Vernissage, released in 1998, features the sprawling songs that guarantee Damo Suzuki Band will never get airplay on the local station (the shortest song on this record is over 8 minutes, the longest an epochal 26:39).
		Ever since Damo Suzuki added his primal vocal power to Krautrock pioneers Can, he has been exploding conceptions of what constitutes how rock is done.

	Can (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Damo Suzuki returned to music in 1983, and since then he has been playing live improvisational shows around the world with local musicians and members of touring bands at various points, sometimes issuing live albums.
		Damo Suzuki was a very different sort of singer from Mooney: his multi-lingual (he claimed to sing in "the language of the Stone Age"), often inscrutable vocal style added the missing ingredient to a set of playful pop songs.
		After the departure of the Suzuki, the music grew in intensity without a vocal center, and the band maintained their ability to collectively improvise with or without central themes for hours at a time (their longest performance was in Berlin that lasted over six hours), resulting in a large archive of performances.

	Cul de Sac: Abhayamaudra [with Damo Suzuki]: Pitchfork Record Review
		Since returning to performing music in the mid-90s after long layoff, Damo Suzuki has become something of an avant-garde Chuck Berry, schlepping from town to town to jam with local musicians (who by appearing with him become the "Network") as part of his Never Ending Tour.
		Supposedly Suzuki rang up Cul de Sac after hearing one of their albums, and it's not surprising he heard something in the band that he could work with.
		Suzuki is really more of a riff-based singer, shrieking out short phrases of sound (don't recognize much here in terms of words) that always exist in direct relation to what the other musicians are doing.

	Can-Do
		The albums Suzuki made with Can--1971's "Tago Mago," 1972's "Ege Bamyasi," and 1973's "Future Days"--are considered art-punk classics, and they've been hugely influential to two generations of bands that followed.
		The Fall wrote a song in homage titled "I Am Damo Suzuki," and a critically hailed group from New York called Mooney Suzuki takes its name from Can's two vocalists.
		Suzuki last performed in Chicago at the House of Blues in the fall of 1998 with Can guitarist Michael Karoli.

	Damo Suzuki live in Huddersfield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		I went to Damo's website and I e-mailed him asking him if he'd like to come play Huddersfield.
		Phone numbers were swapped and they all vowed to carry on meeting up and playing together after the Damo gig.
		Damo was a really nice guy, easy to get on with and very passionate about music, both as a musician and as a listener.

	CREEM ONLINE: Damo Suzuki — Detroit Art Space
		When a smiling Suzuki strolled onto the stage, however, I had to concede that he was not a werewolf.
		Equally antique and authentic: Suzuki’s voice, a relic of the post-war years when young German musicians ran screaming from their predecessors.
		Suzuki is a sincere and warm-hearted human, and though few of us had seen such a rare and fabled creature in the wild, when he leapt from the stage and began wrapping us in sweat-soaked hugs, no one tried to escape.

	WORD » Damo Suzuki Vs. Sixtoo and friends
		The wonderful people at Nearworlds.org bring us a live recording of the show in Montreal that Damo Suzuki recently played with a number of artists, including WORD favorite Sixtoo.
		Damo, of course, was one of the lead singers of German Krautrock greats CAN, another WORD favorite…nigh, WORD Heroes.
		The other artist range in experimental to post-rock-ish stylings, but Sixtoo is where my focus is. And, to top it off, a lot of Six’s stuff is new in progress stuff for his next album…all of which is sounding spectacular.

	Cul de Sac / Damo Suzuki - "Abhayamudra"
		Instant composing is different from free improvisations where there's usually a theme for each tune, and the musicians, especially the soloists, are free in their contributions within the framework of the respective tune.
		There are moments when Cul De Sac are playing "behind" Damo in the style of a backing band for a "star" solo artist, but in most tunes Damo isn't disposed to act like a star in front of a band, in some cases he even exhibits severe intonation problems.
		So, on a meta-level, "Abhayamudra" is an important record, not only for those who've seen Damo Suzuki and Cul De Sac live on stage during the tour where the tunes were grabbed from.

	Mooney Suzuki
		The Mooney Suzuki might have done just that at the legendary garage festival, Cavestomp, in 1999 when they opened for the mythic Aguilar and Co. To be absolutely fair, the CWB did something that borders on heresy in the garage world.
		The Mooney Suzuki’s debut is a fine first album, but it doesn’t quite capture the sound and fury of the band on stage.
		James is the blueprint for a vast majority of the Mooney Suzuki's principles and motivations.

	Damo Suzuki : HollyAris : An interview with spike magazine (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		A longhaired Japanese man born in 1950, with a fl wispy moustache and wisdom resonating from his eyes, Damo Suzuki was the singer in the German avant-rock band Can from 1971 to 1973.
		I eventually reassembled the means and energy to speak to Damo Suzuki.
		The venue's Damo and his Network will be playing are intimate in size, and should capture a certain incomparable atmosphere if you've never seen his performance before.

	Brainwashed - Damo Suzuki's Network, 24 September 2005, The Spiegeltent, Dublin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		As part of his Network project, Damo Suzuki arrived at the Dublin Fringe Festival with local instrumental group The Jimmy Cake backing him.
		Suzuki never tries to dominate the proceedings, instead his voice is just another instrument weaving in and out of the mix.
		Most of the time this didn’t matter as there was so much going on it was hard to single out anything and the guitars formed a wall of sound behind the rest of the group.

	Eye Weekly - Suzuki's space-rock trip - 05.23.02
		When Suzuki finally emerged, the audience quickly rushed up to take a closer look.
		For hardcore Krautrock fans, this was a rare glimpse at the man who fronted Can during their classic, early-'70s period.
		While singing, however, his eyes were shut in concentration; he bobbed and flailed as a stream of consciousness emanated into his mic.

	Ground and Sky review - Damo Suzuki's Network - Odyssey
		Suzuki has declared a focus on live performance as his exclusive means of musical expression.
		Over this, Suzuki provides his distinctive (if somewhat raspier nowadays) vocal stylizations, an inimitable volley of mumbles, shouts, and obsessive chanting.
		Of course, for those who have not even yet heard Damo Suzuki or Can before, there are plenty of more representative albums to tackle before getting this one.

	Damo Suzuki´s Network (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Since all the other members went off to do solo music which mostly had very little to do with Can's spontaneously created Krautrock sound, fans wanting extra doses were left high and dry until Damo trained up this Euro-Japanese band to sound (more or less) like their spiritual mentors.
		There's plenty of dynamic variation, and over 13 tracks "live composed" around the USA there has to be, but one typical Can-like trick is for the whole band to start slow and to speed up synchronously until a thumping conclusion.
		While this goes on you have to approach Damo's voice as another instrument, really like a second lead guitar, and a lot of the time it simply isn't present - he gives the band plenty of atmospheric instrumental time.

	RIEN -theuglyculture-
		After a rather tragicomic incident including a pathetically posturing opening band and a local television team, we sat patiently as we waited for Damo Suzuki and his french sound carriers to set up.
		Watching him there, headbanging away, one immediately realizes what Damo Suzuki's Network is. The small man in the middle is the catalyst of the experiment, bringing together these different worlds into a free, rocking form.
		I left the venue with the thought that if Damo Suzuki's network is something to be witnessed, no matter who is playing for the occasion, then tonight might even have been a little bit more.

	The Scotsman - S2 - Damo Suzuki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		IT IS said that Damo Suzuki joined cult Krautrock pioneers Can after wandering onstage one night and singing along to their improvised electro-jazz soundtrack.
		It was a compelling start to an intuitive 90-minute set which kept most of the sardine-packed audience as lost in the music as the man they had come to see clearly was.
		Suzuki was a lovable rather than dynamic presence, but he adjusted his vocals according to the shifting flow of the set.

	Review of Damo Suzuki gig at Revolver (Melbourne) at Thermostat
		Then of course you have Damo Suzuki, a man who spent some time with Krautrock legends Can and has since travelled the world on a never-ending world tour, improvising with every musician he can find.
		Their first set went for an hour and a half with the pieces progressing slowly, increasing in dynamics as Damo moaned, wailed and muttered, throwing himself into the music, despite arriving from Germany earlier in the day.
		For the most it was five individuals playing individually with Suzuki attempting to use his vocals to provide some unity.
