I like Eruption, but Hamburger Concerto is an absolute favourite here.

Eruption is the best thing Focus ever did. Hamburger is also excellent.

I'll take my Focus medium rare, please.

"Eruption" is good, too.

Love Hamburger Concerto ---think it's perfect, less jazzy and more symphonic---so that one for me--but love Eruption too.Wink

For some reason they used the Latin spelling of Anonymus in both versions of the track.
I voted for Eruption just ahead of Hamburger. Anonymus II was very good as well but it didn't need the extra 7 minutes on side 4 of the album.

All essential but for the moment I'll vote Eruption just for that brilliant use of the melodic minor scale in the climax of this mega awesome classic that I like a bit.

Imagine (if you can) any other band that has a huge hit (Hocus Pocus) on an album only to have it obscured and eclipsed by the B side.
