FOCUS PLAYS FOCUS [AKA: IN AND OUT OF FOCUS]

This is Dutch progressive rock. The keyboards are basic: mostly organ and piano. Some songs are more catchy and accessible with very good lead and backing vocals ("Black Beauty", "Sugar Island"). Other songs are more instrumental, with tons of drums and flute through fast bass and electric guitar rythms. For instance, "House of the King" has a melodic flute that steals the show in front of rythmic patterns (It is similar to the JETHRO TULL of the 70's). The instrumental FOCUS is full of good piano, organ, elaborated drums and electric guitar high notes that are even a bit romantic and rythm changing.
