Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Although this is only three tracks in duration this effort by one of the founders of the experimental group Can packs a punch. Track number one "Boat-Woman-Song" features the singing of two unidentified traditional Vietnamese singers and is 17 minutes in length. The second song, title track "Canaxis" exceeds track one - clocking in at 19:30 of more electronic experimentation. Track 3 maybe only 2 minutes long but was taken directly to the recording studio from a German radio performance.

Originally produced in 1969, the issue I have is from the Spoon Records Label re-issue of 1995. Catalog number Spoon CD 15 LC7395 (Edited)

Like Kraftwerk's (Organisation) Tone Float, Can proved they were great before they became Can.

Amazing cut-up/proto world ambient stuff. That's Holger Czukay behind the alias btw.
