Triumvirat - 1976 - Old Loves Die Hard
Triumvirat was a German progressive rock trio that formed in 1969 in Cologne, Germany. The founding members were: keyboardist/composer Hans-Jürgen Fritz, drummer/lyricist Hans Bathelt, and bassist Werner Frangenberg. During its early years, Triumvirat initially played Top 40 songs at local venues in Cologne. The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer heavily influenced Triumvirat’s musical direction and the band incorporated some of Nice/ELP music into their repertoire (Rondo among others). In fact, at the height of their fame during the 70’s prog rock era, Triumvirat was often referred to as the ‘German Emerson, Lake & Palmer’ or ‘ELP clone’ due to Fritz's classical virtuosity on keyboards and synthesizers.The LP Old Loves Die Hard was released in the United States and some other markets with a different cover from the European and later the CD edition. It featured a cornered mouse seen through a magnifying hand lens. 01 - I Believe 02 - A Day In A Life 03 - The History Of Mystery Part1 04 - The History Of Mystery Part2 05 - A Cold Old Worried Lady 06 - Panic On Fifth Avenue 07 - Old Love Dies Hard LINK
