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.
