The Mellotron Group

And 'Ship of Memories' -- van Leer is pretty crazy - (search YouTube for
them performing Hocus Pocus) and very good....

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.
