Triumvirat was a progressive rock band from Germany that formed in 1969 and disbanded in 1980. The band's music was heavily influenced by the sound of British progressive rock bands such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes. The original lineup of Triumvirat consisted of Jürgen Fritz on keyboards and vocals, Werner Frangenberg on bass, and Hans Bathelt on drums. The band's early albums were primarily instrumental, with Fritz's keyboard work at the forefront. However, the band later incorporated vocals into their music and produced several albums with a more mainstream sound. Triumvirat's most successful album was "Illusions on a Double Dimple", which was released in 1974. The album was a concept album that featured two side-long tracks and showcased the band's virtuosic musicianship and progressive rock influences. The album received critical acclaim and helped establish Triumvirat as one of the leading progressive rock bands of the era. Other notable albums by Triumvirat include "Mediterranean Tales" (1972), "Spartacus" (1975), and "Old Loves Die Hard" (1976). The band's music was characterized by intricate keyboard work, complex arrangements, and a fusion of classical and rock music styles. After disbanding in 1980, the members of Triumvirat went on to pursue other musical projects. Progressive classical-rock trio from Cologne, Germany. -GSH Triumvirat I (1969 - 1970)

Hartman recommends: If you like progressive rock in
the style of Emerson,
Lake and Palmer (ELP), then you will probably like Triumvirat's music. If you're
only going to get one of their albums, in my opinion
"Spartacus"
(1975) is the one to get.
