ALBUM REVIEW
As described on Musea website: “ … At the beginning of the year 2002, three young musicians decide to pay tribute to their idol in creating HOCUS POCUS…After having learned their repertoire made of cover versions, drummer Ruben Van ROON (Later replaced by Bert SMAAK), guitarist Jan DUMEE and bassist Bobby JACOBS were courageous enough to invite Thijs Van LEER to a jam session. This one came without any preconceived ideas to spend a good time with some friends, and wasn’t prepared for such a devoted attitude towards the original group’s spirit. He didn’t expect a level ofquality this high, either ! The whole was so good that he jumped on the occasion of reforming FOCUS with fresh blood ! And that’s exactly what "8" (2002) is about: the opening title "Rock And Rio" brings us thirty years back with "Moving Waves", and its international crazy hit "Hocus Pocus". A versatile Hammond Organ, hard-blues guitar riffs, a voluntary basic rhythm section, a good sense of humour… Without forgetting the famous yodels displayed by the Master of Ceremony… ".
