 | | Description: | In 1970 the debut album from BIRTH CONTROL was released. The year of their 10th anniversary saw numerous activities which emphasized BC's top position in the German rock scene. The band recorded a new LP in November 1979 called "Count on Dracula", which was released as their first production with ARIOLA on 28.01.1980. Bernd Noske, singer and songwriter, who together with Bruno Frenzel formed the musical brain of the band comments, "The LP "Count on Dracula" ties in with "Hoodoo Man", but at the same time we consider it a completely new beginning". After ten years of late experimenting, the masterminds of Birth Control, Bernd 'Nossi' Noske and Bruno Frenzel, returned to the strongly rhythmic components of their early phase (Operation", Hoodoo Man") and to their stylish rousing rock in order to combine it with the musical experiences and influences which they had gained in the first ten years of their existence. After releases like "Plastic People" and "Backdoor Possibilities", music for minorities and intellectually minded listeners, with crazy melodies and rhythms, the band realized, after a lack of record sales, that the decisions to change the musical direction had been a huge error. The albums "Count on Dracula" and "Deal Done at Night", both released in 1980, document their return to classic rock as they had originally begun with the albums "Operation" and "Hoodoo Man".Birth Control - Collectors Premium: Count On Dracula / Deal Done At Night

Standard 2CD jewel case with clear tray including booklet.This CD edition combines two classic albums by the German progressive hard rock band Birth Control: "Count On Dracula" and "Deal Done At Night". Both albums capture the band's distinctive mix of driving guitar riffs, powerful organ sounds and melodic songwriting that made them an influential name in the European rock scene of the 1970s and early 1980s. On "Count On Dracula", Birth Control deliver compact, catchy songs with a darkly humorous edge and a strong hard-rock foundation, while "Deal Done At Night" expands their sound with more atmospheric passages, extended instrumental sections and a slightly more polished, contemporary production. Together, these two works trace an important creative phase of the band, showing how they bridged classic hard rock, progressive tendencies and hook-laden songwriting in a way that still sounds energetic and alive today. The CD format offers convenient listening with solid sound quality, making it easy for both long-time fans and curious newcomers to (re)discover these albums as a coherent musical journey, from tight rock anthems to more expansive, groove-oriented tracks.
Birth Control, formed in Germany at the end of the 1960s, gained a loyal following with their intense live shows and their blend of hard rock, progressive rock and a characteristic, often ironic lyrical approach. Over the years they became a fixture of the German rock landscape, especially known for their powerful organ-guitar interplay and their ability to balance complexity and accessibility. Among their best-known songs is the long-standing underground hit "Gamma Ray", which helped to establish their reputation beyond the borders of Germany. While they never aimed at mainstream pop charts, the band built a lasting cult status and influenced later generations of European rock and metal musicians with their uncompromising, distinctive sound.
The label Mig / Indigo is known for carefully curated releases, often focusing on classic rock, prog and catalog titles that deserve renewed attention. With a clear emphasis on quality reissues and well-selected archival material, Mig / Indigo works to keep important chapters of music history available in solid sound quality and thoughtfully compiled editions. Their catalog is particularly interesting for listeners who want to (re)discover established artists away from the usual mainstream, and who value releases that are produced with respect for the original albums and their long-time fans. | | | Producer: |
