CD ReviewsFriday favorite Paul E. Nelson | Middleton | 04/27/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Somehow -- the details are forever lost -- I managed to hear a cut from this album ("Streetwalker") when it first came out. Summer of 1978. Living in Massachusetts when radio when still adventurous. I bought a copy as soon as I could get my hands on one. When I moved to Wisconsin that fall, the album became a conversation-stopper whenever I played it for friends. Not just the music, but the Focus/"Hocus Pocus" connection. (Most everyone thought I was joking at first.) Thirty years later, I still listen to this album on a weekly basis. It's the disc that kick-starts every Friday morning at work. It will never grow old." If it's avalable, buy it Mark T | St Louis, MO | 02/05/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "A landmark album mixing fusion, disco, rock, prog, jazz, etc into an inspired, enthralling 45 minutes. Amazing guitar. Lush strings. Stunning keyboards. A hot rhythm section. Some guy named Neppy on assorted percussion--and he makes a huge impression throughout. You have nothing else like this in your collection. Truly a must-have."
