HEAVY 1970 PROG PSYCH KRAUTROCK DELUXE ! GRINDING DISTORTION + HAMMOND BATTLES
B I R T H C O N T R O L
USA - Prophesy Records - PRS 1002
Gotten extinct as of late, a really hard find, sought hard heavy early progressive styles ...the very first BIRTH CONTROL...original first pressing on the underground Prophesy Records label ...
The heaviest BIRTH CONTROL had to offer, though they made several albums and were a popular pioneering 'Krautrock' band, none of their albums were consitantly as hard'n'heavy as their 1970 first...loaded with mean riffing chops, grizzly dirty distortion guitar battling surging Hammond organ and gravel throaty vocals...Birth Control #1 is on fire...
Sonic inspirations from 1970...driving heavy rock with a great dose of progressive moves. The music is largely dominated by epic Hammond organ sequences and fuzzing guitar sections.
"No Drugs" climaxes the album: a venomous, aggressive, dark composition with austere melody, searing guitar lines and infectious sound. There are some excellent numbers here. "Recollection" and the long "Sundown" are the highlights. Both feature great organ play and fuzz guitar ...the latter has an excellent upbeat tempo. They are the pure sound collectors of the genre seek.
This album also features other strong tracks like "Deep Inside" & "Foolish Action". Surprisingly, the vocals are pretty decent which is not always the case with German bands.
The cover of "Light My Fire" fits perfectly well in their repertoire. The sound of the organ is of course not the Manzarek one, but, for sure, this version is quite good. Faster than the great original.
This first BIRTH CONTROL has become increasingly difficult to find, especially in collectible condition, the cover is prone to wear problems, clean vinyl original up for grabs....
1. No drugs (4:01)
2. Recollection (6:24)
3. Deep inside (4:40)
4. Foolish action (4:32)
5. Sundown (10:02)

CONDITION: The cover, again prone to wear with the dark cover is VG+ very solid all over, no seam splits, no bends, small bb delete drill, has a little light shelf wear but not too bad...otherwise tight collectible keeper...
The vinyl...smooth clear grooves, "EX" (excellent) top level playback
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
