  • Description

    Mother Focusis the fifth studio album by the bandFocus, released in 1975 onPolydor(cat. no. 2310 408) inEurope, onAtco RecordsinNorth Americaand onEMIinJapan. Some tracks on the album mark a departure from theprogressive rockstyle that dominated the group's prior work, and herald afunk musicstyle with light jazz and pop at the centre.[1]Unlike previous albums, the tracks were also much shorter, the longest being 3:55. Bassist Bert Ruiter provided most of the themes, as van Leer had just recorded a solo album,O My Love,of his own music, and Jan Akkerman withheld compositions forEli, his forthcoming album withKaz Lux. The closing track, "Father Bach", is credited as a 'traditional tune', arranged and adopted byThijs van Leer, but in reality it consists of the opening lines ofJ. S. Bach'sSt. Matthew Passion.
