Birth Control : Hoodoo Man 1972

Birth Control is a German Krautrock band known for their progressive hard-rock sound and provocative album covers.

Birth Control formed in the middle of 1968 in Berlin from two other bands, the Earls and the Gents. The initial members were: Bernd Koschmidder (bass), Reinhold Sobotta (organ), Rolf Gurra (saxophone and vocals), Fritz Groeger (vocals), Klaus Orso (guitar), Reiner Borchert (guitar), and Hugo Egon Balder (percussion).


BIRTH CONTROL were formed at the end of sixties . In those early years they played hybrid jazz rock compositions , mainly instrumental . They recorded their first album for Metronome bringing to the fore an accent for humour and provoking thoughts . Their second album "Operation" shows a great improvement in sound , a kind of heavy rock based sound with subtle jazzy arrangements . This album had a great success for the Ohr label (specialised to promote the rise of the German underground rock scene) . In 1972 , "Believe In The Pill" was also released for Ohr . After several replacements , the quintet recorded "Rebirth", a progressive heavy rock album. In 1976, "Blackdoor Possibilities" was a commercial failure due to a more mainstream sound and the inclusion of more jazz elements . "Increase" recorded in 1977 marked a return to the hard rock source . BIRTH CONTROL come back to light in the 90s for many reunion albums as "Jungle Life" or "Two World" .

Gamma Ray lyrics

The world's desperated with irony,
hunger and corruption
The eastern world and the africans, too
Are going to repeat the history of all wars
And our industry supplied them with arms
Everybody knows but nobody can do anything against it
The fall of society is on the make

Well sometimes, sometimes I try to drop a list
I try to find out what they have done
I thought of honorable murderers you know
Like Jonah's hand must ??? around us
And anytime, everywhere in the whole world ...

Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray,
Made of you egsistence, Gamma Ray money and our failing
I've waited for to fire gamma ray.


Without body I could fly around the world
Destroying arms, destorying rockets
Mixx all complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn to swallow people
Everybody, everywhere in the whole world

Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray,
Made of you egsistence, Gamma Ray money and our failing
I've waited for to fire gamma ray.
