THE OTHER SIDES OF AGITATION FREE

Forget everything you previously have heard by Agitation Free before. This album is a total break with their previous albums. Hence, it should not be called a Agitation Free album at all. I guess this incarnation of Agitation Free, which only includes to original members, is just trading on their name to sell more albums or even to get a record deal at all.

The music here is straight fusion and even jazz without any hints of Krautrock whatsoever. The music is down the Chick Corea alley. The main instruments are bass, some straight playing electric guitars without any fuzz, some vocals, a lot of tangents and drums.

My gripes here is the lack of any identity on the songs here. This album feels and sounds like some studio musicians is running through some standard jazz tunes and then record them. Soulless and pretty pointless too. The musicians is great, but their material is only half decent. The only good song here is Atlantic Overcrossing and that is because it is a Sting rip off. Sorry, but where did Agitation Free go ? They are not here.
