Out of Reach (album)

Out of Reach is the ninth studio album by the German krautrock band Can, released through Harvest Records in 1978. It is the second Can album, after Saw Delight, featuring bassist Rosko Gee and percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah. On Out of Reach, the band continued exploring a new musical direction, inspired by disco and latin rock.

Some critics called it "probably the least loved music Can ever made", assessing that Gee and Baah "seem to impose too strict a sense of rhythm on Can's once free-flowing music, diluted with insipid reggae riffs". Some of them, however, highlighted "Scorpion", "November", and "One More Day" as the tracks closest to anything resembling former spirit of Can. Irmin Schmidt, Can's keyboard player, called Out of Reach the climax of the band's confusion, "musically and psychologically, and in every sense it's bad".
