resently married. one of my husband and my interest is music. He has turned me on to Camel, triumvirat, David Gillmore ect... Which in turn i have turned him on to some of my music, New Radicals, Keb 'Mo, Todd Rungren. Our musical interest is wide, and we appreciate all varitys of music. We were both excited to find Triumvirat. Can not wait to receive it

Good piece of music.......2005-12-04

This album is progressive rock music. However, there is some mainstream catchiness to it nonetheless. The vocal numbers tend to either uptempo numbers, like The history of mystery, or plaintive piano ballads, like 'Cold old worried lady', which is suicidal.

The instrumental parts alternate between softer, piano driven parts to uptempo, energetic bits full of synthesiser imagery and sonic audio soundscapes. Despite this being a German Band, the lyrics are in English, as sung by Barry Palmer. The music is written by the band's keyboardist, Fritz. His piano playing has a classical orientation. The instrumental parts to 'History of mystery' has an almost disco beat to it, but the vocal parts, especially with the driven delivery, have a rock feeling to them. There is quite a bit of improvised soloing on the record. My favourite track is 'a day in the live', it begins as spaced-out synth driven psychedelia, then there's some classical piano that's very beautiful and then finale is a bit rocking. The song is actually divided into three part. The music is all very good and some of it is quite original, and you can understand most of the lyrics that are sung, so I'd rate it somewhere around 4/5.

2nd. position.......2003-03-07

"Illusions in a Double Dimple" is the best album recorded by Triumvirat, and "Old Loves Die Hard" ranks at the second position in that list. Helmut Köllen went out to pursue a solo career (unfortunately, he had just completed his first solo album when he died), and was replaced by Dick Frangenberg (the original bass player) and English singer Barry Palmer. Highlights: the title track (beautiful), "A Cold Worried Lady" (moving), "A Day in the Life" (amazing).

The best album of Triumvirat without Helmut Kollen.......2003-02-07

When i was 7 years old i listened bands like Deep Purple, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Kiss (!). Then, one day, when i was lookin for a LP of Kiss, my cousins found an album of a rare German Band called Triumvirat. Then they (my cousins) known the progressive rock but i didn't. For recomendation of my cousins i bought the album with the title "Old Loves Die Hard". That was my first contact with the wonderful world of the Progressive Rock. Twenty seven years after i love this album yet. With the internet and more sites of information about the progressive rock i can know more this wonderful band. Although the masterpieces more recognized are Illusions on a Double.. and Spartacus, this album is excellent. Maybe more commercial, whatever the composition and perfomance are of very high quality. Moreover, the production is better that his predecessors Spartacus and Illusions.. The highlights of the album are "Panic On 5th Avenue" and "The History of Mystery" (Part one and two), whatever the instrumental "A Day In A Life" is a track very nice and one of my favourites of all times, soft at the beginning and hard at the final. The album hold the classic style of triumvirat, finest symphonic rock. Curiosly this band wasn't supported in Europe in his time, I'm not sure what is the cause (a poor Clon of ELP?, to me this point of view is very very bad, terrible and very poor to describe Triumvirat). I though that is time to justice for Triumvirat (with the help of EMI with the reissue of the early collection) and finally to be recognized like THE GREATEST BAND OF GERMAN PROGRESSIVE ROCK (Triumvirat is my Top Ten of best band of Progressive Rock of all times). I recommend this album to all fan of progressive rock, specialy for those about to symphonic rock. For last, the only disappointment is the change of the artwork. Personally i prefer thousand times the original artwork with the cover with the little white rat observed with a magnifying glass.

EDITED REVIEW.......2001-08-26

When I originally reviewed this album, apparently a glitch occured and instead of my 4 star rating being posted, 2 stars were posted instead. Things like this happen; our world is less than perfect. this album is a very strong one, but for my personal tastes, Illusions on a Double Dimple and Spartacus are phenominal. Old Loves is more of a commercial offering with less musical experimentalism. Still, the material is solid and inspired, just a different avenue of exploration that I did not find as appealing as the others. This album started the downward slope that followed with Pompeii, a la Carte, and Russian Roulette, the latter two titles widely regarded as total commercial rubbish. Unfortunately Double Dimple and Spartacus are out of print, I have made so many copies for people it is unreal. Fortunately, Old Loves, a more accessable offering, is availabe and recommended. My apologies for not catching this error earlier.

Best Triumvirat Album.......2001-08-09

Don't listen to the other reviews. This is by far the BEST Triumvirat album, without a doubt. I've never understood why it is so often frowned upon. It's a fantastic album, full of amazing playing. As an added bonus, the lyrics are good, which is rare for Triumvirat. Quality playing and quality production bundled with quality progrock songwriting. You can't go wrong. I have all of the Triumvirat albums and I've listened to this one 90% of the time compared to the others. This album delivers. Plus the sound quality is much better than all of the previous releases. I must mention though, every Triumvirat album has its moments and is worthy of ownership.

NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS FIRST TWO RELEASES.......2000-08-26

The ILLUSIONS album was a masterpiece. SPARTACUS was very very good as well. This , the third, has some moments equal to the earlier releases, but overall it falls short in music complexities and depth. Some of the cuts are bad. I bought this one a few years back and have rarely played it. But OLD LOVES is much better than its followup, POMPEII , which was almost a total disgrace. Get OLD LOVES for the 3 or 4 really good tracks. Play POMPEII by NEW TRIUMVARAT to get rid of unwanted dinner guests.

Old Loves Die Hard.......2000-01-05

I have known the Triumvirat band for at least 20 years. I have always compared them in quality and novelty to Pink Floyd, Emerson-Lake-and-Palmer, and others. The thing is they really never made big. In order of preferance I would put Illusions on a Double Dimple, Spartacus and Old Loves Die Hard. These three albuns were made by the original Triumvirat group. The main caracteristics is the white little mouse in the albun's cover. There is other albuns' by Triumvirat. However, they are not the original and they do not use the white little mouse as simbol. Also, they lack the music quality of the first three albuns'. Also, I have searched for these albuns for quite some time, I only could find them here. Very nice!

A must-have for your "true" classic rock collection!.......1999-05-08

Triumvirat never made the "BIG" scene, but they are masters, non-the-less. This is a band that someone has to key you in on, for you will not hear them on the radio. If you love classic rock of a more complex nature than the pop you hear everywhere, check this one out. Along with "Spartacus" which you may find on CD (it was released at one time) and "Illusions on a Double Dimple" which, as far as I know was never released on CD (please!!!) you will want Old Love Dies Hard to complete the "top three." Oh yea - this album also has a great piano piece!
