Released in 1971, Operation is an early and compelling entry in the catalog of West German rock outfit Birth Control. Produced at Ariola Studio in Berlin, the album captures the band at a moment when they were pushing beyond straightforward rock into more adventurous, progressive territory — a bold move that helped establish them as one of the more ambitious acts to emerge from the early 1970s German rock scene.
Musically, Operation blends raw rock energy with symphonic flourishes and progressive sensibilities, showcasing the band's range and instrumental craft. Tracks drift between driving, guitar-forward arrangements and more expansive, layered passages, with Hammond organ and ARP synthesizer adding texture and depth throughout. The result is an album that feels cohesive and adventurous, marking an important moment in Birth Control's artistic development.
