    "First Flight" is the uncanny all improv first meeting of Chris Forsyth (guitar), Dave Harrington (guitar, electronics), Ryan Jewell (drums, percussion), and Spencer Zahn (bass), recorded live at Nublu in NYC on September 20, 2019 and released on wax a year later. A sparkling, telepathic collection of leaderless group mind deep groove momentum.

    "First Flight REDUX" is Dave Harrington's radical re-imagining of "First Flight," released one year later still (September 2021). Comprising 12 tracks (compared to "First Flight's" single flowing performance) and incorporating extensive overdubs and remixing by Harrington, this is its own very surprising thing, a whole new step into the mirror, as if Can had parachuted into the present and just picked up where they left off making music with today's studio tools.

  • First Flight test pressing, dated 8/26/20
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Single copy of test pressing for Chris Forsyth / Dave Harrington / Ryan Jewell / Spencer Zahn's "First Flight." It's incorrectly labeled "First Friends" on the label but then again, I became friends with Dave and Spencer at this gig so maybe it's not wrong.

    Includes unlimited streaming of First Flight via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
