Description

From the Dutch Prog Rock band, Focus

Focus : Hamburger Concerto,альбом, рецезия, трек-лист, mp3, тексты песен.

Album · 1973 · 6 Songs. Hamburger Concerto Focus.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm), Import, Gatefold. These 11 tracks will take you back to the days when Focus were on the top of their game. The title track & Concerto' was divided in six parts which all deal with how to prepare a burger. Vinyl (February 4, 2010).

Hamburger Concerto is the crowning achievement of Focus' career. The main appeal here is the record’s consistency, where every new track adds something new to the overall style without tramping the same ground twice. Focus was reinforcing their progressive essence and preparing to rock a bit further than they had done so far; You can tell by the rough sound production for the lead guitar and Hammond organ inputs that Focus was willing to sound tighter. The album begins with Delitae Musicae, a short d intro, which instantly sets the classical mood of the album. Harem Scarem is a strong reminder of the old combination of rocking energy and light humour that had worked so well in Hocus Pocus. The song is of particular note because of its jubilant nature.

Their catalog, although consisting of four albums, rarely had a dull moment between them. Hamburger Concerto is equally consistent, much of it being prime Focus material. The Akkerman-written "Birth" and "Early Birth" are examples of Focus fully flexing their muscles, featuring superb guitar work and amazing all-round musicianship, as well as sporting some superb riffs. The usual lengthy instrumentals are present also, as well as some manic vocals from the manic but genius Thijs Van Leer
