Tago Mago, released in 1971 (originally as a double LP), was the third album by the krautrock band Can and the second to feature the vocals of Damo Suzuki. The name comes from a large rock formation off the coast of Ibiza that figures in the legend of Aleister Crowley. Tago Mago is generally considered the band's best album, and one of the best in the genre of krautrock. It is groundbreaking, influential and radically unconventional, based on intensely rhythmic jazz-inspired drumming, improvised guitar and keyboard soloing (frequently intertwining each other), tape edits, and Suzuki's idiosyncratic vocalisms. The album was recorded by Holger Czukay at Inner Space Studio, a converted movie theater near Cologne.

The re-release is an SACD hybrid that can be played on both SACD players as well as regular CD players. It also includes a booklet with commentary on the album by Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream and David Stubbs, as well as new photos of the band.
