[img(width=316 height=60)]links/images/splogo.jpg[/img] Triumvirat ist eine Progressive-Rock-Band aus Deutschland, die 1969 von Jürgen Fritz, Hans Bathelt und Dick W. Frangenberg gegründet wurde. Sie spielte Progressive Rock, angelehnt an den Stil von Emerson, Lake and Palmer und Focus. Von Anfang an dominierte Komponist und Keyboarder Jürgen Fritz die Band. Im Jahre 1976 konstatierte er beispielsweise Triumvirat ist nicht länger eine Band, sondern allein meine Sache, das Vehikel für meine Musik, trennte sich vom Rest der Gruppe und setzte fortan nur noch auf Gastmusiker. Die Antwort kam postwendend von Hans Bathelt, der sich vor Gericht die Rechte am Namen der Gruppe sicherte. Fritz musste deshalb die Band für sein nächstes Album in New Triumvirat umtaufen. "Spartacus" is an album by the German group Triumvirat. Spartacus is a concept album based on the Thracian gladiator who led the 3rd slave uprising in 73-71 BC. The lyrics were written by Hans Bathelt, with contributions by Jürgen Fritz. It was originally released in 1975 on the EMI label, and later distributed in the U.S. by Capitol. It debuted at number 27 on the Billboard album charts. If "Illusions" was the direct musical heir to "Tarkus," then "Spartacus" is the child of "Trilogy" and "Brain Salad Surgery." The album even begins with a rip off the opening of the ELP song "Trilogy." "Spartacus" isn't on the same level as Emerson's masterpieces, but it has some of the same virtues of Triumvirat's previous work: intense musicality, and an album-long cohesion that few progsters were capable of sustaining. Once again, I must question the style of music coupled with the content; surely a song-cycle about Spartacus would be far more dissonant than Fritz's fundamentally conservative musical offerings. Still, the album is filled with the same musical precision that made the Rat's two previous works so listenable. Utilmately, this album comes to signify the end of the prog cycle; every move is expected, every sound has been heard before, yet it is done so well, that those short-comings hardly matter. Perhaps Trimvirat saw themselves as underdogs; their logo is the trapped mouse, but they stood alone in 1975 and this epic album holds up still. [The Deluxe Edition 2003] [color=#FF0000]01.
