 Topic: Embryo vs. Agitation Free

Hi,
Embryo could be said to be jazz ... Agitation Free was not about jazz or rock, but about it mixing eastern influences into their music and electronics with it. I really do not see any "jazz" in AF. |
I do feel these two bands are very combarable in their approach. Both are easterninspired, adventurous krautrock bands. Agitation Free is definitely about rock to my ears (and obviously inspired by jazz). And even if Embryo is jazzier, they have much more incommon with AF than most artists associated with the jazz genre.

I like both bands, but this is not really a fair pairing. Agitation Free´s first two are brilliant, but Embryo released: Opal, Rache, Father son and holy ghost´s, Steig aus, Rocksession, We keep on and Reise. No contest for me.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Thanks, and that is the main reason why I often like to mention what I know and don't know -- for recommendations. I forgot to mention Embryo's Reise, which I do have, but don't have my collection handy which is why I forgot it (sense of deja vu, I think you recommended it to me before), and it is very good, but I'll definitely look into the other four (and revisit Embryo's Reise when I can, since I haven't heard it for a long time).

My vote goes to Embryo. Something intangible about this band that let me know the minute I first heard them that I was really going to like them. It resonates with me, and I'm not even sure why yet. I remember Secret Oyster had a similar effect on me way back when. |
Now that would have been a great double bill back in the day,Embryo and Secret Oyster.
|
I would also like to add Kraan to that bill. |
Kraan would fit in perfectly.Heck lets have a festival and add a few more bands.
