Album of the Day

Hamburger Concerto, by Focus (1974): Continuing along on the oddly-named album theme, here's one of the top releases from the kings of Dutch prog. Luckily, it's an instrumental disc (mostly - there's some yodelling), so there's no attempt to slap burgerlicious lyrics on these tracks. That doesn't stop them from cleverly subdividing the epic title track, however: a - Starter, b - Rare, c - Medium I, d - Medium II, e - Well Done, f - One for the Road. The music is solid symphonic prog, with lots of great keyboard and guitar interplay, with some extra medieval elements thrown in here and there. Oh, and in tracking down a review of the disc, I found a YouTube video with about 5 minutes of the title track!
