Go back and check out "Hocus Pocus" from the same album. Focus' lead guitarist........whose Dutch name escapes me this second, and I'm too damned lazy to walk across the room and read it off the album cover :)..........was smokin'!!!!!! Man was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of his time. IMHO, that's the first true "shred" guitar piece put onto vinyl.

Jan Akkerman!! His guitar playing is pure genius. One of the other fellows in the defunct Focus band, Thijs van Leer, had a classical background, and his compositions are really audible mathemetics!
