Released just recently this month is an EMI compilation CD of Triumvirat tracks called "Essential". To the best of my knowledge, this is the first totally Triumvirat compilation album ever compiled. The track listing is- Be Home For Tea Broken Mirror Ride In The Night (single track) Dancer's Delight (single track) Dimplicity (Edit) Million Dollars (Edit) The Capitol Of Power The Sweetest Sound Of Liberty Spartacus Old Loves Die Hard Take A Break Today (single track) The Hymn (Edit) Waterfall (Edit) (Oh, I'm) Late Again Jo Ann Walker (Edit) I Don't Even Know Your Name Party Life The songs are a cross section from the complete Triumvirat album discography, also including some tracks that were part of singles If you have all of the albums that were remastered onto CD in 2002, you already have all of this, but if not, and you are looking for a cross section, well, here you go! |

| Only recently got Mediteranean Tales and Illusions On A Double Dimple to add to Spartacus so I suppose I don't really need this as I would be adding just a selection of the pop tracks? |

And on this compilation, the transitional albums are only represented with two tracks -Old Loves Die Hard, and The Hymn-only one track per album. All tracks in the compilation listed after The Hymn are from the pop rock period. In my opinion, you have the really "essential" ones already. Hopefully the two that you have recently added are from the 2002 EMI remasters, as they are the ones that have some very good singles tracks added on to them. I have been able to finally find some merit in even the last two pop rock albums, but most fans detest them. Though they are a different and lesser breed than the previous ones, i don't think they should be ignored. Hope you enjoy your new additions, Richard.  |

Enjoyable and perhaps not as pompous as ELP (although I do like ELP and I like Pomposity in prog
 ).Fritz is a more fluid a player than Emerson. Vocals are okay but nothing special. Drums -no Carl Palmer but then only Carl Palmer is Carl Palmer.In a way Triumvirat are closer to The Nice with more humour and loads more Hammond Organ

Let's hope that someone at EMI in Germany finally decides to release Helmut Koellen's solo album "You Won't See Me" on CD-that would be super! Also would be nice for an album of Triumvirat Live to be officially released.  |

| This now not so new Compilation CD is not the first Triumvirat compilation cd; there was previously a Brazilian "Best Of" CD, and a Singles Only compilation, as well. |
