Landed is the sixth studio album by the German krautrock band Can.
Landed was recorded in 1975 at Inner Space Studios in Weilerswist, near Cologne. Holger Czukay engineered the recording and mixed side B at Inner Space. He teamed with Toby Robinson to mix side A at Studio Dierks in Stommeln. René Tinner assisted with the mix for both sides. The album was produced by the band themselves and included the single "Hunters and Collectors" (backed by "Vernal Equinox"), which was issued in Germany on the Harvest label that same year.[1]
The track "Red Hot Indians" features Olaf Kübler from Amon Düül guesting on dual sax solos.
Dominique Leone reviewed the album for Pitchfork in 2005 and said:
1975's Landed was the first Can record to get what Czukay describes as a "professional mix", as the band upgraded to 16 tracks and had the opportunity to bring out many more layers of sound. However, what might have sounded like a godsend to fans craving as much Can magic as they could get didn't quite turn out as we expected. Gone were the epic, funky ambient songs or minimalist rock experiments in favor of some pretty straightforward jam-band tunes.[2]
Musician Barry Adamson included the album in a list of his 13 favorite albums.[3]
Australian rock band Hunters & Collectors took their name from the song of the same title.[4]
