Agitation Free

Agitation Free is a highly influential German experimental rock band formed in West Berlin in 1967. As key pioneers of the Krautrock movement and the Berlin School, they became famous for their long, ambient, and free-form instrumental improvisations. Their hypnotic music fluidly blended psychedelic rock with jazz, electronics, and early trance elements.

The band achieved widespread cult status with their 1972 debut album, Malesch, which was heavily inspired by a cultural tour through the Near East and Egypt. They stood out for their multi-media live shows featuring liquid projectors and avant-garde film, while also serving as a vital creative hub that shared members with iconic groups like Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel.
