This tune appears on 'long prog tune' lists, but I have never heard it.
It is robust!

Spilling candle wax was always a more likely problem. Using an iron and paper bags the following morning was my solution.

I like this a lot more than Camel, to be honest.
A band that swim in similar waters.

Focus have no fear of being minimalist and repetitive.
I hate the clever-clever, even from talented musicians.
This is great.

Focus are rockier I think - more of an edge to their sound & a much more obvious sense of humour!

Am interesting observation - I see the similarity you are drawing
When both bands 'were in the zone' they were awesomely robust
Sadly both bands deviated somewhat and lost their way
After about the same amount of albums I would suggest (ok - 4 in Focus's case and probably possibly 6 in Camel's case..)

Very well integrated 'space rock'. Head music?

Hmm.
Just did a google translate on the lyrics - about the original birth of Christ and Herod's slaughter of the innocents.
