| sinopsis: | Focus still today maintains its amazing originality, which has been a trademark of this famous Dutch progressive band throughout all its musical meanderings since the late 60s. The band's 'symphonic' instrumentals continue to have their very own and unique sound, thanks not only to the extremely high quality of band founder Thijs van Leer's 'classical' compositions, but also the amazing skills of all band members. |
