AGITATION FREE - Malesch (معليش) +1 - GER MIG Digipack Edition - LISTEN

Released by the German branch of Vertigo in 1972, Agitation Free's debut is without doubt one of the most interesting records of the krautrock scene, inspired by the band's journey to the Middle East. The oriental influences are not just an addition but one of the key elements of the sound, although it is not a literal imitation of the music of the East, rather an interpretation of it within krautrock. Guitars, electronics and subtle sound effects play a large role here. There are no distinct choruses or traditional structure – the music rather flows, changing mood and tempo. At times it is more rhythmic, at others strongly subdued. 2019 German edition, in a digipak, with an additional track from a concert. A MUST!
