CATALOG NUMBER 0060.066 STEREO.  SEE PICTURES ON MONDAY/ TUESDAY. A great mix of HARD ROCK and Prog from the late 70's! The songs are powerful and complex yet not as twisted and filled with horns and stuff like on Rebirth or Plastic People. Birth Control keeps it straight without falling into the Heavy/Hard cliches-like they will later in the 80's. Again a lot of room for keyboards-hammond-and guitar solos, and the vibrant deep voice of the singer who decided to be the frontman of the band and left his drumseat to a real drummer! BIRTH CONTROL were formed at the end of sixties. In those early years they played hybrid jazz rock compositions, mainly instrumental. They recorded their first album for Metronome bringing to the fore an accent for humour and provoking thoughts (the name of the band and the album cover illustrate it as well). Their second album "Operation" shows a great improvement in sound, a kind of heavy rock based sound with subtle jazzy arrangements. This album had a great success for the Ohr label (specialised to promote the rise of the German underground rock scene). In 1972, "Believe InThe Pill" was also released for Ohr. After several replacements, the quintet recorded "Rebirth", a progressive heavy rock album. In 1976, "Blackdoor Possibilities" was a commercial failure due to a more mainstream sound and the inclusion of more jazz elements. "Increase" recorded in 1977 marked a return to the hard rock source. BIRTH CONTROL come back to light in the 90s for many reunion albums as "Jungle Life" or "Two Worlds".
