{"product_id":"agitation-free-m-lysh-malesch","title":"Agitation Free – Malesch (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Malesch',\u003c\/strong\u003ethe 1972 debut album by German prog band, \u003cstrong\u003eAgitation Free,\u003c\/strong\u003e followed a somewhat different path than your average \u003cstrong\u003eKrautrock\u003c\/strong\u003e band, veering unexpectedly toward the Middle East, specifically Egypt, in search of atmosphere and material. Underneath the dueling guitars and spacy synth work, desert rhythms and taped sounds of dusky cities percolate, adding depth and spice to the otherwise smooth Teutonic grooves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTapes of street songs emerge surprisingly and effectively toward the end of the otherwise stately march \"\u003cstrong\u003eKhan El Khalili,\u003c\/strong\u003e\" providing a bridge to the \u003cstrong\u003eTerry Riley-ish\u003c\/strong\u003e organ trills that begin the title track -  \"\u003cstrong\u003eMalesch,\u003c\/strong\u003e\" which, like many of the tracks, spins off into a leisurely stroll, sounding unexpectedly close to some \u003cstrong\u003eGrateful Dead\u003c\/strong\u003e jams. Even when it picks up pace, there's an unhurried quality that fits in nicely with the Saharan undertones of the album. '\u003cstrong\u003eMalesch'\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solid, even inspired recording that stands somewhat apart from the usual clichés of the genre. Fans of German progressive rock from this period will almost certainly want to hear and enjoy this vinyl repress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 You Play For Us Today \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Sahara City \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Ala Tul \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 Pulse \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 Khan El Khalili \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 Malesch \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB4 Rücksturz \u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iai7_F5nZyQ\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agitation Free","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":43221058420980,"sku":"MIG 00731 LP","price":52.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/products\/af.jpg?v=1661211679","url":"https:\/\/www.flyingnun.co.nz\/products\/agitation-free-m-lysh-malesch","provider":"Flying Nun ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
