I think Can was a pretty groovy German band...kinda an organic pre-techno jam band

Yeah, Can were very psychedlic, groovy, experimental and amongst the best of the Krautrock bands. Check out their history at Wikipedia.

My favourite album of the year (so far) ist J Dilla's "Donuts" by the late Jay Dee (RIP!). One of the finest instrumental hip hop albums you'll ever find.
