Triumvirat Appreciation Thread

Well let's see if we can keep it moving along then...

I first heard T-Rat when i was in a small indie record store on a second level location in London ON. I was browsing when all of a sudden I heard the opening riff from Mediterranean Tales. I immediately stopped browsing and headed right to the counter. I bought the only copy they had, which had just come in that morning. It was an import so I think it cost me $15 or so (it was opened after all).

I saw/see the reasons for comparisons but I tend to agree they have their own voice. Far more Classical Jazz then ELP's Classical Rock format. But I love them both.

So I haven't read back all the posts here, but has anyone listened to or have any opinions of the Live at Ultrasonic Studios, NY 1974 recording. I understand there's not a lot else in this area.

verslibre - love your avatar.  Stuntman is one of my favorites by Froese.  Epsilon in Malaysian Pale is my top favorite of his solo stuff, but Stuntman is a real gem.

Haha, I was joking!  (And that post's a couple years old!)

I love Spartacus and OLDH and have no use for Pompeii (too watered down compared to its predecessors).

And here's a hot take for everyone: I don't like Mediterranean Tales. T'rat sounds like a half-cooked ELP wannabe on their debut. I'm glad they sorted things out and found their "voice," so to speak!

Bravo Magazine's issue of the 15 May, 1975, where they list their 12 top German rock acts, and Triumvirat is included
