Birth Control-Increase (1977)

Considered the final classic of Birth Control, "Increase" (the band's seventh studio album) follows the stylistic vein of their previous works, with a krautrock style influenced by jazz rock, blues, hard rock, and progressive rock. Birth Control's music was always driven by Zeus B. Held's Hammond organ, Bruno Frenzel's sharp guitars, and the galloping rhythm of their energetic rhythm section comprised of Bern Noske, Horst Stachelhaus, and Manfred Von Bohr. Intense hard rock tracks like "Domino's Hammock", the funk-jazz "We All Thought We Knew You", the bluesy "Fight For You", and the creative semi-progressive "Seems My Bike's Riding Me" marked the end of the most glorious era of this legendary German band.
