"Focal Point" is the début solo album for British based multi-instrumentalist Paul Cusick, and features 11 tracks (including 1 bonus track) that show why Paul has been described as a cross between Dave Gilmour, Steve Hackett and Steven Wilson. A tall order to live up to by any standards but listen and decide for yourself.

Paul started 2008 with a resolution to release a solo album. It was supposed to be a little project for release on MySpace, however after the upload of the demo of "Big Cars" and "Hold On" Paul received a couple of record contract offers and pre-orders for a CD that was still at the concept stage. Given the interest that was being generated from a couple of early demos Paul rebuilt his studio and set to work on "Focal Point". As a solo project Paul was free to concentrate on his song writing and producing.

Paul plays all the instruments on "Focal Point" except drums which are laid down by Alex Cromarty aka "The Groove Monster" and features a guest appearance by Andy Edwards (Frost* / IQ / Kino).

"Focal Point" is a diverse album which includes two instrumentals, "Senza Tempo" and the title track "Focal Point", as well as the rocking "Big Cars", "Scared To Dream", "Everblue" and "Soul Words", the anthemic "Hold On", the evocative "Fade Away" and "Touch", with the heart felt "Hello".

Wow. Sounds awesome! And you can stream it directly from the site and buy it digitally/physically if you want to. Friend found it while ramblin' through Twitter.

And seems Andy Edwards is in it as a guest in a song. :D
