Out Of Focus was a progressive rock band hailing from Munich, Germany, known for their intricate fusion of jazz, rock, and psychedelic elements. Founded in the late 1960s, the band carved out a unique niche within the Krautrock movement. Out Of Focus combined driving rhythms with complex brass arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics, often delivering social and political commentary. The group's lineup included the talents of charismatic frontman and saxophonist Remigius Drechsler, along with Hennes Hering on keyboards, Moran Neumüller on vocals and saxophone, Stephan Wisheu on bass, and Klaus Spöri on drums.

Their body of work showcases a brief but intense period of creative output, during which Out Of Focus released several albums that left a lasting impression on the progressive music scene. The self-titled "Out of Focus: Out of Focus" solidified their early sound, a blend of heavy rock grooves and jazz improvisations. The band continued to evolve their style, culminating in the ambitious double album "Out Of Focus: Four Letter Monday Afternoon," which many consider their masterpiece. After their initial disbandment in the early 70s, the work of Out Of Focus has been regularly rediscovered by new generations of progressive rock aficionados, cementing their status as underground legends. Their most recent releases, such as "Not Too Late" and "Palermo 1972," are reissues that allow fans to explore the rich and complex legacy of a band that, while out of focus at times, left an indelible mark on the landscape of experimental music.
