Search - Triumvirat :: Pompeii

Listen to the power of some of the songs, it's incredible!

"I knew already the good sound of this band from "Illusions On A Double Dimple", when I bought the LP in Lisbon, when it was released and Jurgen Fritz was there promoting it: after an improvised organ session he did at a music shop there, I had no doubts about his great talent, but the group was then already going separate ways, to his stated regret (that's why the front of the CD states "New Triumvirat", instead of just "Triumvirat"). I lost this LP after using it on a Radio Macau weekly news cast, and I've been looking for it for the last ten years, also in Hong Kong. I remember the power of songs like "Journey Of A Fallen Angel", and specially "The Hymn": an incredible pleasure to the ears of Sinfonic Rock lovers! Other tracks I recommend are "The Time Of Your Life", "Dance On The Vulcano" and "Vesuvius 79 A.D.". I'm also looking forward to buy the CD's "Illusions On A Double Dimple", and "Spartacus", for me the best trio of Triumvirat!"

"Still not as good as Spartacus, especially for a concept (story telling) album, but very enjoyable."

"Where all the good times went. There are not music like the one from the 70s.Triumvirat was one of those groups that reallyrocked.So bad they change their original singer in this record POMPEY.The singer in their first two records ILLUSIONS IN THE DOUBLE DIMPLE and SPARTACUS was amazing.This group was a combination of elp and yes in their first two records.Then their sound changed but still they were a good band."
