Repertoire reissue of the German prog act's 1975 album that is unavailable domestically. 6 tracks including 'Plastic People' & 'Trial Trip'. 2001 release.
I have recently just started to explore Birth Control's recordings. If you are fan of progressive German rock, then you will most-likely enjoy this record. There are some really decent compositions here, backed by solid musician-ship, and passionate performances. Bernd Noske is both the lead vocalist and the drummer, and he is excellent at both. I have been a fan of "krautrock" for a long time, and I would say that frequently the vocal abilities of many German rock vocalists prove to be a weak spot. Not so with Birth Control, as Bernd has a great set of pipes. I will be enjoying this one for years to come, and look forward to exploring more Birth Control albums.
Après avoir excellé dans un heavy rock ronflant à la Deep Purple/Uriah Heep, Birth Control, sous la houlette de son nouveau claviériste "Zeus" B Held se lance dans le rock progressif, et ce avec réussite. La métamophose est totale car BC évolue avec "Plastic people" dans un registre aventureux proche de Gentle Giant. Cette évolution sera confirmée avec l'album suivant "Backdoor's possibilities". Foncez!
