This song is from the 1971 album MOVING WAVES the 2nd album from the Dutch group. It is the sixth part of a 23 minute song called "Eruption" that spans the whole second side of that album. It is an adaptation of Jacopo Peri's opera "Euridice". This small section of the song was written by Tommy Barlage a sax player for a fellow Dutch band named Solution.

No need to get so nasty. Spread the word with civility not vulgarity.

I discovered Focus just 10 minutes ago, brought here by a cover played by Helloween, and I found one of the greatest band in history. Fuck!! I wasn't even born in those years, so i'm justified... but why none ever told me of their existence???
You, older fans, SPREAD THE WORD!!! I will do it!!! if you don't.... FUCK OFF!!!!

Brilliant .. I have been searching for this the extended version which was released as a single in 1971 and played on Radio Nordsee ... but never a UK hit. My copy went awol years ago!

best background music for late 70's porn

Too good for a porn soundtrack! It would distract from the action onscreen. You would have to make up your mind.....porn?.....great music?..... What a dilemma! Of course the two choices aren't necessarily bad.
