FOCUS - Focus 9 / New Skin (2006)

2008-07-31 11:03:23 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Focus and this 21th century version of Focus isn't so different from the original. Theirs one big problem though: Jan Akkerman didn't join the reunion. Akkerman is one of my favourite guitarist in the world, so this is quite a dissapointment. Thijs van Leer and Pierre van der Linden are now the basismembers of Focus. Thuis van Leer was their...

...FOCUS had really crossed the borders of Netherlands and were gaining a solid fan base all along Europe and even in USA, so they had to do something specialr not to loose this popularity, instead they did something better, they took the risk and went for a double album In and Out of Focus presented us a band worried to make sober and solid...

...Focus 8 album. I could not imagine that I would be able to accept the fact on musical degradation of old band like Focus who was very successful with songs like Focus 3, Sylvia, Hocus Pocus (in fact this song was used by global television network as background of TV news), by releasing a new album. So, when I saw this CD at local CD store, I...

Focus III is the third studio album from dutch progressive rock act Focus. Originally released as a double album this album shows all sides of the band. The classical music influenced part, the jazz/ rock part and the jamming part. I am not one of those who feel that the previous album from Focus called Moving Waves is a masterpiece. In fact I...

...Focus is the debut album dutch prog rockers Focus. Unlike a large portion of their later output, most of the songs here on the debut evolves around vocals. Focus is probably the most known Dutch prog rock band and they have made a couple of good albums in their career. This one is a typical debut album which means that Focus is still...

...Focus. Before the review itself, we must remember that this album was released in 1970, Symphonic Prog was already well known in UK and Italy was following their steps with some special characteristics, but FOCUS really crossed the limits and changed radically the approach While British and Italian bands were too busy with the lush keyboards...

2008-10-09 05:15:44 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Focus as instrumental prog band, Focus Con Proby proves that the band could make excellent music with vocal line too. In this album Focus collaborate with American singer PJ Proby who has vocal characteristic that suits Focus music (my taste). In so far, most reviewers have given less than four stars but I really believe that this album...

...Focus used flute as Jethro Tull did with Thick as A Brick or A Passion Play or Aqualung. But, these two bands and any album from these two bands were totally in different vein. Focus is pretty much a combination of classical music, jazz and rock. Hamburger Concerto blends all of the influences nicely When this album was released I was not...
