FOCUS
‘MOVING WAVES’
Original 1971 UK 1st Press ‘Blue Horizon’ Label Lp. The Album Carries The Following Tracks Performed By The Dutch Group ‘Focus’:
The Album That Boosted Focus Into At Least Semi-Fame Outside Of Continental Europe, Moving Waves Blasts Off With Their Hit Single, "Hocus Pocus." Built Around A Killer Guitar Hook By Jan Akkerman And A Series Of Solo Turns By The Band, This Instrumental Replaced "Wipeout" As A Staple Of FM Radio. The Bizarrely Hilarious Vocal And Accordion Solos By Thijs Van Leer -- One Of Which Absurdly Concludes With Rousing Stadium Cheers -- Have To Be Heard To Be Believed. After This Over-The-Top Performance, The Other Tracks Seem Comparatively Constrained: The Gentle "Le Clochard" Features Some Gorgeous Classical Guitar Over Mellotron Strings. The Album Concludes With "Eruption," Which While Mimicking The Multi-Suite Nomenclature Of Yes And King Crimson, Is Essentially A Side-Long Jam Session. Stop-Time Emersonian Organ Solos Alternate With Languid Sections Of Jazzy Guitar Redolent Of Santana, While Still Other Sections Are Flat-Out Electric Blues-Rock Stomps.
The Lp Was Released On The ‘Blue Horizon’ Label (2931 002) And Comes To Auction In Ex/Ex Condition
