Album artwork for Malesch by Agitation Free

agitation free's debut album is one of the absolute classic albums to come out of germany in the 1970s. agitation free approached the groundbreaking experimental tendencies of the german scene from a different perspective than most of the other groups. firstly, the delicate touch of melody was certainly not lost on the band, and they often bypass the strictly standoff-ish approach of many of the other german bands, infusing their albums with a gorgeous melodic drive. 'malesch' takes a slightly unique approach then the more jazzy follow-up, second would, though both albums are in the same basic vein. the album extensively incorporates ethnic and world music influences, due to the fact that much of the album was apparently composed on a trip to egypt around the same time. much of the album features sound samples and recordings from the trip, which are used to divide the tracks.most of the arabic and ethnic influence is percussive, as exotic rhythms underpin agitation free's melodic and powerful guitar interplay.
