Soundtracks is a 1970 compilation album by the German krautrock group Can, containing music written for various films. The album marks the departure of the band's original vocalist Malcolm Mooney, who sings on two tracks, and his replacement by Damo Suzuki. "Don't Turn the Light On, Leave Me Alone" features Suzuki's first recorded performance with the band.[1] Stylistically, the record also documents the group's transition to the more meditative and experimental mode of the studio albums that followed.
The back cover of the album states:
"CAN SOUNDTRACKS" is the second album of THE CAN but not album no. two ... Album no. two [Tago Mago] will be released in the beginning of 1971.[2]
"She Brings the Rain", written for the 1969 film A Big Grey-Blue Bird by Thomas Schamoni, was later featured in Wim Wenders' 1994 film Lisbon Story, Oskar Roehler's 2000 film Die Unberührbare and Tran Anh Hung's 2010 film Norwegian Wood.
