Definetly Gong,
 
Nono, works nice in the confines of the album, but as a stand alone song it tends to get boring and repetitive while Heavy Tune keeps interesting, just love that guitar, and the bass is really strong.

The Gong song is from what I consider a weak album for the band (I couldn't get into it), and the Magma song is from the only Magma album I have, so it wins through default and an inferior match-up.

For me the opposite, I adore Nono and have listened to it on repeat many times (not that I usually listen to stand-alone tracks, preferring to listen to whole albums, though I do like shuffle).  To me it's just such joy.  I think it's a great closer.  Heavy Tune definitely does not rank amongst my GonG favourites.  To me it feels longer than Nono even though it's shorter.

Nono for sure. One of my fave Magma songs
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Nono. It's a no brainer.
