Between Thijs Van Leer and Windhamhill Trend
















After listening to this album entitled Introspection by Thijs Van Leer (one of FOCUS band members, 1972), I remember some of Windham Hill Collection' albums especialy thru album Romantic Moments (Windhamhill, 1996) which consisted of some classical songs which interpretated in modern taste. Windhamhill version played by popular group such as Night Noise. This Windhamhill version is truly superb, and elegant-modern version of classical songs. But those romantic songs are off course selected.

I dont know whether Windhamhill producer was inspired by Thijs Van Leer or not, but the album Intrsopection is truly a neo-classical album in the term of Windhamhill approach to some classical songs. What do you think?*
