From 1967 to 1974, Agitation Free was one of the most innovative German Krautrock bands with an international reputation. The band combined improvised instrumental rock, classical avant-garde and elements of "world music" even before the term became a household name. In 1972, they were the first rock band to tour Egypt, Lebanon, Cyprus and Greece and were part of the cultural program for the Olympic Games in Munich.
With Momentum, the pioneers of experimental German rock music present their first studio album since 1999. They take listeners on an impressive musical journey. Otherworldly sounds, pulsating rhythms, grandiose guitar riffs, hypnotic sequencers and driving bass create an astonishing cinematic soundscape - almost like a time machine that connects the past and the future. Momentum is an exciting album from Agitation Free. It shows that they are still one of the most innovative bands on the German music scene. This is reflected not only in the impressive sound quality, which reaches a new level of excellence, but also in the skillful fusion of their characteristic 70s sound with the contemporary currents of a new era.
