I've  just started listening to Focus (at long last beyond their 
eponymous track  and 'Sylvia') and I have to say I'm really quite pleased 
so far. The only  one I've given any real attention to is 'Moving Waves' 
(which features the  stellar 'Le Clochard'). What else is recommended?


Focus 3 and Hamburger Concerto are the other two albums to listen  to.  The 
first album, In and Out of Focus is interesting but much more  commercial.  
Thijs van Leer's contrapuntal bass lines are wonderful.   You can tell he has a 
trained classical mind and cites Bach and Bartok as his  major influences.
