SPARTACUS

A very fine and dynamic third release by Triumvirat that is definitely up to par with their previous 'Double Dimple' album, and featuring several of their most representative tracks. The obvious ELP influences are of course present here as well, but T-Rat still manages to pull it off with their own twist in the best way possible and I will give them credit for that. The first two songs immediately sets the tone for the album and are among their best tunes, but later tracks does tend to meander a little after that before thankfully closing in on a excellent finale on 'March' and the title track at the end of it. Very good playing and good melodies makes this one of the stronger albums in their catalogue, and it's a fun and energetic trip overall.
