OUT OF FOCUS
released 1990 on KUCKUCK, Nr. 11006-1
Sorry my friends, this is not the original release from 1970,
but the original first repress from 1990 and it is a bit
obscure with this one, because the most sources speak about
a CD rerelease from 1991, but information on a vinyl repress
is nearly impossible to find. So I think this is a small
quantity run, that do not appear very often!
INFORMATION
While often overshadowed by many of their deservedly lauded contemporaries,
Out of Focus were actually among the very finest German groups of the 70s.
Drawing heavily from both jazz and psychedelic rock, Out of Focus created a
uniquely powerful, fluid sound that focused on extended jams, featuring acid-laced
organ, guitar and flute. Band like Embryo and Kraan (particularly on their first album)
come to mind as comparisons, as well as, most obviously, Soft Machine,
but Out of Focus certainly retained a distinct style, particularly by way of the
lilting flute prominence.
With an abstract artwork this debut album is aptly named "Wake Up", even if the goal
is to send you into dreamy trip, the music is raw, just the way the Germans liked it,
reminiscent of their crosstown colleagues of Amon Düül II.
