AGITATION
FREE with its openness to constant experimentation was one of the most
important groups of the so called "Berlin School" and also a career
catalyst for many musicians. Christopher Franke helped Tangerine Dream
to become globally respected. Michael Hoenig worked with Klaus Schulze
and Tangerine Dream and recorded a solo album before establishing himself
as a soundtrack composer in Hollywood. Axel Genrich joined Guru Guru,
Burghard Rausch cofounded Bel Ami. Gustl Lütjens toured with Shirley
Bassey and laer attracted a huge following with his New Age act Living
Mirrors in the US. Lutz "Lüül" Ulbrich joined Ashra, worked
with former Velvet Underground-singer Nico, produced soloalbums as well
as music for theatre productions and is nowadays successfull with his
group 17 Hippies.
In
1998, almost 25 years after their split, the former AGITATION FREE members
met at the birthday bash of founding member Lutz "Lüül" Ulbrich
and spontaneously decided to revive AGITATION FREE. In early summer
of 1999 the new AGITATION FREE album "River Of Return", produced by
former Spliff-guitarist Potsch Potschka, was released by BSC Music.
The new music connects smoothly with the experimental earlier sound
of the group, often flowing in meditative moods just to explode surprisingly
in powerful rock. Thus the story of one of Germany's most interesting
rockbands is continued in a contemporary manner.
