Ege Bamyası (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈeɟe ˈbamjasɯ], lit. "Aegean okra") is the third studio album by German krautrock band Can, released on 29 November 1972 by United Artists Records. The album contains the single "Spoon", which charted in the Top 10 in Germany after being used as the theme song to the German television mini-series Das Messer (1971). The success of the single allowed Can to establish their own studio, Inner Space Studio, in Weilerswist, where they recorded the rest of the album. In 2004, Spoon Records remastered Ege Bamyası and reissued it as a hybrid Super Audio CD.
Ege Bamyası has received critical acclaim, praised for skilful fusion of experimental music, electronic sounds, and avant-funk. Spectrum Sounds magazine called the album's experience as "maybe the most danceable that experimental music gets".[2] Pitchfork highlighted that the album stands out among Can discography for being one of the most focused and "tetchy" records.[5] A number of musicians, particularly rooted in electronic music and post-punk, cited Ege Bamyası as their influence. Some of those musicians (e.g. Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, The Orb, Bruce Gilbert of Wire, and System 7) participated in the Can tribute remix album Sacrilege (1997).

As wonderful as the Krautrocker's fourth album might be, there's no doubting the fact that 10-minute space-rock jams fronted by Japanese buskers...
