By the time of Rebirth, Birth Control had spent years needling the West German public, starting with a name aimed squarely at the Pope and sleeve art to match. Musically they were the country's most convincing answer to the Deep Purple template, organ and guitar locked in heavy progressive combat. Bernd Noske's gruff voice and Bruno Frenzel's guitar carry the weight, and the longer tracks stretch toward the instrumental jamming that was the group's live currency.
Less feted than Hoodoo Man, it is the sound of a hard-rock band that took the German underground's appetite for length and volume thoroughly to heart.
