Wake Up! is the debut album by the rockband Out of Focus, released in December 1970 on Kuckuck Records. Out of Focus was a German Krautrock rock fusion band, formed in late-1968 in Munich, with Hennes Herring on keyboards (mainly the Hammond organ), Remigius Drechsler on guitars, Hans-Georg “Moran” Neumüller on vocals and winds, Klaus Spöri on drums and Stefan Wisheu on bass.
PA: “Right from the first repetitive note of Drechsler’s guitar, soon underlined by Herring’s organ and Moran Neumuller’s flute, in the opening White Negro, you just know you’re flying in a wonderful universe where time seems to be a very random dimension and the dreamy soundscapes are an invitation to tripping around the universe. The tougher-sounding God Save The Queen is more of rougher guitar-lead early 70’s UK proto-prog ala EBB or BechKendel, but the middle section (recorded a bit too low) shared between the folky flute and the organ is a great counter-point using the full dynamics contrasting with the return of the opening section.” (Wiki, Discogs, Prog Archives).
