I'll give the first Focus theme a vote, great melodies. A?Q!Q?A! (hah, that looks weird) comes very close. Birth is alright but it's never been a favourite.   
New album!

AQQA, but they're all excellent.

Birth. Almost my favourite song from the band... if it weren't for the Hamburger Concerto song itself. Too bad not many people share my love for this song.

I do ! Probably one of the most thrilling, goose-bump guitar solos ever recorded! Clap

Birth I like :) focus answers questions questions answers is more jazzy funky,  I voted Focus by Focus just because I love that instrumental track most of all three however it's a bit too meh docile for me, no track of theirs beats Eruption, ok yes Hocus Pocus was unique nothing ever sounded like that before. Nothing beats Eruption tho' Big hugs to all Hug

The first time I heard Focus was one of those OMG moments in music for me. It has remained among my favourite instrumentals ever since (the vocal version is very nice too).

Focus, which is the only track I really like from the three in the poll.
That one is a special one for me, since I did quite some effort to learn to play it on the piano, with the great chords that that song had.

Focus 3 was my first purchase from the band so Anonymous Two from the CD version but that would be an 'epic' rather than a mini-epic.

Oh yeah... but it's not only the guitar solo... but the interplay between guitar and flute solos
