By the time of the album's release in 1978, Can had added former Traffic members Rosko Gee and Rebop Kwaku Baah to their lineup and had begun incorporating streamlined disco rhythms and African percussion into their already eclectic sound. The polyrhythmic funk of "Pauper's Daughter and I" and the freeform percussion assault of "One More Day" are particular highlights.

Though they were one of the key bands of the 1970s Krautrock movement, Can always saw themselves as individualists. They were influenced more by composers like Stockhausen than by psychedelic rock, but this seminal German band combined their avant-garde tendencies with rock trappings and funk-inflected rhythms in an amazingly natural way, influencing subsequent generations of iconoclasts.
