7. agitation free – ala tul (faux pas edit)

a month or two ago one of my favourite mp3 blogs undomondo posted a few 70s prog & psych tracks, and one stood out, “ala tul” by a german band called agitation free. they were like a german prog/kraut rock band, wikipedia tells me they were active from 1967 to 1974 and that one of their number at some point jumped ship to tangerine dream. my dad had a couple of tangerine dream cds in the 80s, i remember as a kid trying to listen to them but being completely bewildered. there was no way in to tangerine dream, not for me. when it came to dad’s cd collection i was more into billy joel. i never even attempted to listen to the vangelis soundtrack dad had. though i did listen to clannad a few times. clannad is good to play d&d to.

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and it’s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
