Out of Focus' second album is largely an extension of their debut. Politically charged lyrics provide context for the Krautrock 101 sounds the band inevitably brings. As I noted on their next opus Four Letter Monday Afternoon, one can already hear Out of Focus taking the Xhol Caravan blueprint to the next level. Flute, sax, Hammond organ, and guitar are your key ingredients, with some prophetic pleas in accented English. Musically it's the 1971 German cookbook with pages dedicated to albums by Eiliff, Sunbirds, Mythos, Virus, Vinegar, Gomorrha, etc... etc... How many of these albums you needs depends on your commitment to the cause. I want them all.
