The fifth album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, banjo, keyboards, synths and vocals.
The band has returned, a quarter of a century since their last album. A very unexpected return. 2023 was the year of comebacks and unexpected returns.
The good old Agitation Free sound and or soundscape has not returned, though. This century's Agitation Free has chosen a slightly different route from their original version.
We are still in and around space rock. Trippy space rock, that is. Ozric Tentacles is a good reference for what we get here.
The samples used also takes us into a jungle. A sample that really sets the scene and is effective in that respect. The many weird percussion sounds is also setting the scene.
There is some long guitar solos here and they are the highlights on this almost one hour long album. The ethnic soundscape is also good. The vocals not so good although they are voices and not proper vocals.
The result is barely a good rating but the guitar solos has won me over. This album is still not this band's finest hour.

Sounds like some one was twisting your arm when you went to rate this.
