Eruption (22:35) covers the whole of the second side of the album known as Moving Waves or Focus 2, the second album by the amazing Dutch band Focus. The album came out in 1971. Eruption is divided into as many as 15 different parts, Tommy and The Bridge and Euridice being perhaps the highlights. The basic idea is van Leer's but is based on classical operas and includes part sby several composers. The band play the whole thing, which was assembled by physically sticking parts together. Versions of the piece are still played today.
