Dutch rock legends, Focus’ hit song “Hocus Pocus” featured in new RoboCop movie The groups 1972 worldwide hit “Hocus Pocus” is now being featured in the major motion picture RoboCop, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton. The song, which features the distinctive and virtuosic yodeling by keyboardist Thijs Van Leer, was originally released on the bands critically acclaimed second album Moving Waves. With its unique brand of progressive rock, Focus manifested itself at the start of the 70s as the most successful and appreciated of all the Dutch pop-rock exports. Fronted by founding member Thijs Van Leer, and best known for its hits “Hocus Pocus,” “House of The King” and “Sylvia,” as well as critically acclaimed albums Moving Waves, Focus 3 and Hamburger Concerto, the iconic Dutch music masters are back with their 11th album, which is guaranteed to please their legions of fans. Focus has been performing select shows in support of its upcoming 11th album Golden Oldies, which features re-recordings of classic Focus tracks. Thijs explained, “Producing Golden Oldies is tricky. Both, the die-hard fans and the 2014 Focus-members were having doubts about this enterprise because we didnt know if the recent recordings would match the original material, notwithstanding the fact that we had so much fun in doing the session, quick, romantic, virtuoso, full of funny moments and profoundness. But, the final mix turns out to be fantastic, and we all are proud to release this album at our earliest convenience.” CD pre-order link: cherryred.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=4574
