Ege Bamyası (which means"Aegean okra"in Turkish) 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 on the German singles chart after its inclusion 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 completed the rest of the album. It was recorded and produced under a strict June 1972 deadline, finishing "Soup" a day before the end date.
Ege Bamyası was met with 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". Retrospective reviews highlighted that the album stands out among Can discography for being one of the band's most focused and tense records. Can helped popularize the German rock, krautrock, inspiring a number of later musicians, particularly the electronic and post-punk scenes. The list includes Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, the Orb, Bruce Gilbert of Wire, and System 7, some of whom participated in the Can tribute remix album Sacrilege (1997). In later decades, publications such as Rolling Stone and NME ranked Ege Bamyasi as one of Can's best albums and among the best albums of all time.
In 2004, Ege Bamyasi was ranked 19th on Pitchfork magazine's list of the 100 Albums of the 1970s, while in the similar list, compiled by Fact in 2014, it was put at 97th position, and Paste magazine placed the album at 63th position in 2020 list of the 70 Best Albums of the 1970s.
