Triumvirat – Old Loves Die Hard (1976) (First DE Pressing) (24-Bit/96Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

WOW! This record is just a bit less good than Spartacus: mostly, it sounds very similar to Spartacus. The weak point on this album is Barry Palmer’s lead vocals, although bearable. “I believe”, sounding a bit pop, has good rhythmic piano, Fender Rodes, choir parts and some floating keyboards. The first part of the marvelous “Day in a life” has Fender Rhodes and background floating keyboards sounding like the Gary Wright’s “Dream Weaver” track; the second part has a very progressive & melodic piano a la Rick Wakeman: absolutely GRAND; finally, the third part sounds like on the Spartacus album: rhythmic piano, VERY spacy moog, fast drums and bass. The epic “History of mystery part 1” starts with another excellent piano part, followed by heroic & catchy keyboards like on the Spartacus album: Hammond organ and moog; so, this tracks sounds like the best ELP of the early 70’s! The excellent “History of mystery part 2”, containing a killer moog solo in the beginning, is a variation on the theme present on the “History of mystery part 1” track. The simple and not very progressive “A cold old worried lady” is a good but not catchy piano oriented song, with some background orchestral arrangements: no synthesizers, no drums and no bass. The next track “Panic on 5th Avenue”, sounding again like on the Spartacus album, is a pompous keyboards exploration a la ELP: TONS of Hammond organ, ultra floating moogs a bit like the Gary Wright’s “Dream Weaver” track again, police sirens emulation, hammering drums, elastic bass, the track is maybe a bit repetitive, but it is very well made; the killer long & melodic moog solo at the end is absolutely OUTSTANDING! The more ordinary last track, “Old loves die hard”, has a bit the same style as “A cold old worried lady”, except there are drums and bass plus some discrete organ notes.
