"Here And Now" on CD is a powerful statement from German rock institution Birth Control, capturing the band's trademark blend of hard rock, progressive elements and gripping songcraft in a focused studio production. Across the album, dynamic guitar riffs, driving rhythms and expressive vocals create an intense yet melodic journey that appeals both to long-time fans of classic rock and to new listeners discovering the band's sound. Thoughtful arrangements, extended instrumental passages and tight interplay between the musicians showcase a group that has honed its craft over decades, while the clear, punchy CD mastering makes this edition an ideal way to experience the material in full detail. Whether played loudly at home or revisited through headphones, "Here And Now" offers a contemporary snapshot of a band that continues to evolve without losing its identity.
Birth Control are one of the long-standing names in German rock, known for their mixture of hard rock energy and progressive rock ambition, as well as for their 1970s work that helped shape the local scene. Over the years they have built a loyal following through intensive touring and a series of albums that combined memorable hooks with complex instrumental work. Their catalogue stands as a testament to musical persistence and artistic independence, with "Here And Now" fitting into this tradition as a mature, confident release.

This is the album that Benrd Noske did not see as a release - however, this is another excellent album of Progresiv Birth Control which I recommend - a very modern HARD ROCK you are not used to today
