JAN AKKERMAN & THIJS VAN LEER: FOCUS

Underrated? No. VERY UNDERRATED! Absolutely superb album, two guys at the top of their game, and obviously not even trying very hard. Yes, Beethoven's Revenge goes on a bit, but Ole Judy, Russian Roulette and the wonderful Who's Calling show that 80s technology, nasty as it sounded, could be harnessed to a new vision of prog. Unless you really don't like 80s sounds, you won't be disappointed.
