"Hocus Pocus" by "Focus" which was played to me by a mate in a pub (via a phone) the other day.
It's like a tour-de-force of prog-rock idioms, nary an odd box remaining unticked. Can't decide if it's genius or madness or something else entirely.

Alt: I assumed (because it seemed to start when the post number was around 995000-ish) that some code-helmet was spamming trying to get the one-millionth post, hence slowing things down like molasses in the wintertime. b3ta's still only moving as fast as an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping now though - so much for that theory ...

I don’t like ‘Hocus Pocus’ – despite the doubtless admirable technical ability on display, it’s a bit fucking silly isn’t it?

Can't disagree. When 'Eccles' crops up on a track, it does make you wonder, doesn't it?

Oh, daft as a particularly daft brush.
A harmless novelty, albeit a technically impressive one. (But then a lot of progressive rock bands have a song fitting those categories to their name...)
