This Netherlandish progressive masterpiece is One ofThe most hard rock progressive album made during that era: indeed Jan Akkerman's incisive and razor electric guitars are omnipresent: pure hard rock solosA la Led Zeppelin, and barely less timid aggressive riffs. The drums are restless, very complex and fast. The Keyboards mostly consist of organ, mellotron, piano and harmonium. The intensely yodeling of Thijs Van Leer OnYou are goingTo wantTo sing it! "Le clochard" has A beautiful floating mellotron in The background and impressive & relaxing acoustic guitar parts that should impress Steve Hackett himself. The peaceful and rhythmic "Janis" contains mellow flute parts A la CAMEL . The lead vocals On "Moving Waves" remind me early KING CRIMSON . "Focus 2" is an OUTSTANDING very progressive track: Jan Akkerman "dances" with HIS melodic electric guitar: it seems that TheHIS partitions, creating very structured and pleasant melodies through rhythm & air changes.

On side 2, The epic "Eruption" is ATo Jethro Tull's "Thick asA brick":TheSame organSounds , tonsOn drums, very melodic bass, straightforward hard rock electric guitars; there are some intensely floating mellotron & backing vocals parts; there is A part which was composed byThe Dutch fusionband Solution, comingFromThe "Divergence" album; there isA poignant & melodic piano part, accompanied with electric guitar and flute;The drum solo is absolutely impressive, havingA bit The Neil Peart's style.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (greenback/progarchives.com)
