Better rips are welcome.

(Review from hollandrocks.com, progarchives.com)

In 1985, unexpectedly, Akkerman and Van Leer recorded the album Focus. Different from the Focus albums proper, this reunion of its two leading men is more of a jazzy affair with elements of period new age and even a bit of minimalism, making it generally light, mellow, and slick compared to the original band.

“King Kong” and “Tango” both represent the general sound of the album well, an insistent motif with a small but notable degree of improvisation around it. The flutes on “King Kong” are especially noteworthy. While “Indian Summer” does contain synths in a typically 80s smooth jazz style, it is blended with woodwinds rather deftly. Now, “Beethoven’s Revenge” is the epic of the album if you can call it that, but it is really more of an extended jam where Akkerman takes his turn to shine, as does Ustad Zamir Ahmad Khan on tablas. “Ole Judy” is one of the more fun numbers, with a slightly latin flavour bolstered by some of Akkerman’s best licks on the album, as well as more flute from Van Leer.

Although the album got particularly bad reviews in the rock press, it sold reasonably well at the time.
