AGEN 53 - Ich Wünsch Dir Für Die Zukunft Etwas Mehr Glück, Junge Welt EP 1987

After two tapes (listen) Agen 53 from Verden had their first vinyl debut on the essential Keine Experiemte II compilation 1984 via weird system on which they impressed me with two outstanding pieces besides other famous German bands. Formed by Todde (vocals), Amok (guitars), Goldi (bass) and Michi (drums) they made 1987 this little sunshine on their own label 53 Records with four tracks and 500 copies were pressed, followed by the 12'' Fortschritt a year later without 53. Musically rather not so hard which is due to the bright guitar and the very melodic style of the band (although the EP has a bit more steam). Textually, they describe political as well as personal topics intellectually with detailed words, I like words that make me think and anarchy & beer can wrote everyone. In my opinion totally underrated band that deserves more attention and I can only urge you to get their few slabs. Check also my Smash BRD selfmade compilation with more rare German punk goodies.

AGEN - Fortschritt 12'' 1988

Hailing from Verden (Oasis in Lower Saxony), Agen were a four piece and existed from 1981 'til 1989. Members on their only 12Inch were: Thorsten (vocals/bass), Maik (guitars/vocals), Jürgen (bass/guitars), Michael (drums), released via 53 Records. First as Agen 53, they released their first fantastic Ich Wünsch Dir Für Die Zukunft Etwas Mehr Glück, Junge Welt EP on the same label with four top tunes. I first came in touch with their sound via the Keine Experimente! II compilaton, and b.t.w. this slab is a masterpiece, the band matched it brilliantly. Actually, they didn’t became much attention as the others and unfortunately much too underrated in my opinion. They are excellent musicians and far from the most political D-Punk of the early 80s, and this is exactly what I like to hear, words with depth that make you think. Yes, Agen combine their anger and views in melodic, aggressive catchy songs. Their label released 2008 a CD (Fortschritt 2.8), limited to 53 copies, with both vinyl tracks plus an unreleased song (someone have it for me?). Every now and then they do occasional reunion shows, but rarely (the last one was already twenty years ago). Top music + top band = solid record!! 🔊🔊🔊

V/A - Keine Experimente! Vol. II 1984

It's time to relive the old days and the following Kompilation brings only positive memories back and it feels incredibly good to put this fucker out of sleep. This superb record from Weird System is an album that has caused a stir, especially in the German underground scene. This collection offers a more personal mix of relevant artists and is an absolute highlight. Just as the predecessor was a huge hit with more political stuff by essential German Punk bands, the second part is a perfect continuation and ensures a varied entertaining listening experience. Most of the beautys are only immortalized on this record and are real timeless classics that are now indispensable. Forty years have passed since then and I can look back and remember exactly how I felt at this time and how wonderful and carefree my life was, with less responsibility, fewer health issues, just living without thinking too much. And time wasn't important, now everything has become a little complicated and things have changed, not everything for the better, well, what can I say, I hate to repeat myself but getting old sucks. Overall, Keine Experimente! Vol.II is an exciting discovery that is recommended for old rockers and all newcomers who are interested in really good sounds. German craftsmanship!
