Reelin’ In The Years 29: Focus

There always seemed to me to be something Calvinistic about Focus‘s music, a touch of rigidity: predestination even. Maybe it was because they were Dutch.
It was particularly so of Eruption, the long track that made up the whole of side 2 of the LP Focus II (Moving Waves).
It is also true of their biggest UK hit Sylvia but perhaps less so of the earlier Hocus Pocus.
