Agitation Free is a German experimental krautrock band formed in 1967 by Michael “Fame” Günther (bass guitar), Lutz “Lüül” Ulbrich (guitar), Lutz Ludwig Kramer (guitar) and Christopher Franke (drums). They were initially called Agitation, a name chosen at random from a dictionary. The band had to change the name because another group with the same name already existed. Agitation Free was taken from a poster advertising a free concert in the early 1970s that read “Agitation Free” (meaning “free concert”). After losing guitarist Ax Genrich to Guru Guru in 1970 (Genrich had replaced Kramer earlier that same year) and drummer Christopher Franke to Tangerine Dream in 1971, the band recruited Jörg “Joshi” Schwenke (guitar), Burghard Rausch (drums) and Michael Hoenig (keyboards). They released their first album, Malesch, in 1972 on the Music Factory label. The album was inspired by their tour through Egypt, Greece and Cyprus, sponsored by the German Goethe Institute. Later that year, they performed at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
