Title: Trashed at the time but really surprising & underrated
Review: At the time of release this one was killed by bad critics. Over time, it is still a hit & miss record, but the hits are right on the mark. Indeed a weird, but interesting combination of a jazzrock outfit around Thijs van Leer plus PJ Proby.Although not always sounding sober his voice is impressing & in place in the Focus classic "Brother".The song "Maximum" is a true Focus gem, though completely unnoticed it seems. This is how jazzrock should sound like!Also Orion, Wingless, Eddy and Sneezing Bull add in their own jazzy flavor, making for a varied album full of surprises.And the story about Tokyo Rose? Well, also PJ Proby deserved a drink after all the "hard" work, didn't he?
Is the review positive or negative?
