Out of Focus (band)
Out Of Focus is 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, Moran (his civil name is Hans-Georg Neumüller) on vocals and winds, Klaus Spöri on drums and Stefan Wisheu on bass. Out of Focus took their name from a Blue Cheer track, but had also been influenced by Soft Machine and Xhol Caravan, and rapidly established a distinctive style blending rock, jazz and psychedelic overtones. The band's music was known for the socio-political commentary present in  Moran Neumüller's songs. Although typically Munich styled (with Embryo and Sahara connections) they are often compared to Canterbury fusion and Scandinavian jazz-rock acts. After Out of Focus split up, bandleader Remigius Drechsler joined Embryo in the fall of 1979 for about one year before establishing his own project, Kontrast.
