Focus is a Dutch progressive rock band. It was founded by classically trained organist/flautist Thijs van Leer in 1969.
Akkerman's "House of the King" (from the "In and Out of Focus" album) is the title theme of 'Don't Ask Me', a science-based British TV show of the 1970s that made household names of Dr. Magnus Pyke and Professor David Bellamy. It is also the title theme of Steve Coogan's BBC2 sitcom Saxondale.

I think that this tune has flown under the radar and never received the credit that it deserves for being so good.9 years ago
