 Excellent Progressive Rock
For you looking for some 'hard to find' and 'forgotten' 70s progressive rock in the genre of Yes, please try this one.

Outstanding album, remastered better than ever
The original CD release of "Illusions" was not bad at all, but the remaster puts it to shame. Powerful, crystal-clear sound, with some non-essential but interesting bonus tracks, and this album may actually better than the group's follow-up, "Spartacus". Only criticism is that the two side-long tracks should have been broken up by track breaks. A prog-rock feast!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No even better than spartacus
except for a couple small cheezy vocal bits, this is their pinnacle. same keyboard driven music as the others, but more interesting. two lp sides, each with a medley of songs that flow very well into each other, plus a few bonus tracks as filler. full of energy, harmonic and flowing. easily compares with the best of elp and in some cases, imho, surpasses ('lucky man'/'lucky girl').

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No My Favorite
I like my Yes, ELP, ELO, Pink Floyd, Caravan, King Crimson, but my favorite of all is this album by Triumvirat.
I think the underlying strength to this work is the excellent rhythms. The drum work is superb. Keyboards are excellent, a mix of piano and synth. The bass playing is...infectious. There are even accoustic guitar passages. It's got everything. This is a wonderful, wonderful recording.
I had this on 8-track tape back in the 70's and I played it until it wore out. "Old Loves Die Hard" is their only other 'good' album. This one, though, is a must-have.

Though they never quite hit the same musical highs as E.L.P., Yes, or King Crimson, this German prog rock outfit garnered a huge following among those in the know. Includes the previously unissued bonus cut "Showstopper."
Spartacus may not be as progressively strong as 1973's Illusion on a Double Dimple album, but it still stands as this German outfit's second best release. Based on the famous Roman gladiator who led the rebellion against his homeland, the music supports the album's concept quite solidly, with the better tracks coming in the form of the sporadic "School of Instant Pain" and the nine- minute "March to the Eternal City," which gathers a menacing conglomeration of bass guitar riffs and pointed keyboard work. The music becomes effectively motivational toward the concept at the proper times, enabling the band's idea to remain fresh and colorful as the music is played out. Jurgen Fritz's Hammond organ and Moog intervention gives Spartacus a genuine progressive ...
| | Porcupine Tree In Absentia CD (2002)
Illusions On A Double Dimple
$8.59  
There's a breed of (post-1980s) bands with the same degree of grand rock experimentalism as Pink Floyd and Yes, who simultaneously adhere to the concept of concise songwriting. Porcupine Tree is one such band--their sound is a balance of lush ambient textures, charming vocal harmonies, rock & roll directness, and acoustically- and electronically-generated sounds. Their debut IN ABSENTIA shows all these elements in place, rich with the likely possibility of them becoming a contemporary counterpart to Pink Floyd.
Hailed by Billboard as 'cinematic...simple gorgeous', Porcupine Tree are unquestionably one of the UK's most inspired and inventive rock groups. In Absentia is their eagerly anticipated Lava Records debut. Digipak. 2002.
Recorded at Avatar Studio, New York, New York between March & April 2002.
Porcupine Tree: Richard Barbieri, Colin Edwin, Gavin Harrison, Steven Wilson.
Personnel: John Wesley (guitar, background vocals); Julian Leaper, Perry Mason, Warren Zielinski, Mark Berrow, Katherine Shave, Dave Woodcock, Rebecca Hirsch, Paul Willey, Ben Cruft, ...
| | Triumvirat Old Loves Die Hard CD (1976) Import; Remastered
Illusions On A Double Dimple
$12.79
OLD LOVES DIE HARD is the fourth album from Triumvirat, the English-singing art-rock collective from Germany fronted by Jurgen Fritz.
Old Loves Die Hard is this German band's most structured, most entertaining, and most accessible album next to the masterpiece Illusions on a Double Dimple. The elements of progressive rock are wonderfully marbled throughout these seven tracks, highlighted by the ten plus minutes of "Panic on Fifth Avenue" and the brashness "The History of Mystery." Singer Barry Palmer's voice climbs and descends to the backdrop of such keyboard machinations as the ...

| | Jethro Tull Songs From The Wood CD (1977) Remastered
Illusions On A Double Dimple
$9.99
In terms of rustic, tights-wearing, elf-loving, flute-heavy, British/Celtic folk-tinged '70s prog-rock, SONGS FROM THE WOOD is the most Tull of all Jethro Tull albums. By 1977 the band had ventured far enough from its heavy blues-rock beginnings to create a completely unique, idiosyncratic sound, filled with European folk mythology, rural imagery and an endearing combination of art-rock and British folk-rock. Elaborate synthesizer fanfares mix with delicate acoustic guitar tapestries, complex arrangements and odd time signatures. SONGS FROM THE WOOD strikes the perfect balance between the proggie ambition of THICK AS A BRICK, the storytelling style of AQUALUNG and the courtly, medieval air of MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY.
This album, which seemed so soft and lyrical in its original CD incarnation, comes to us with some surprisingly sharp edges in its remastered form -- the 24-bit audio allows us to practically hear the action on Ian Anderson's acoustic guitar and puts Barriemore Barlow's drums in the room with us, suddenly giving the whole album the texture of a live recording. Oddly enough, in the case of this album, the result is a roughening of many of the textures to go with closer presence of ...

Illusions On A Double Dimple
$12.65
Recorded between 1965 and 1982. Includes liner notes by Robyn Flans.
In her lengthy career, from 1965 to 1999, Cher scored singles charts entries on Imperial, Kapp, MCA, Warner Bros., Casablanca, Geffen, and Reprise Records. Because the hits are spread among three major labels (the Imperial catalog is owned by EMI; the Kapp, MCA, Casablanca, and Geffen catalogs by Universal; and the Warner Bros. and Reprise catalogs by Warner), putting together a compilation on her is a nightmare. Nevertheless, following her 1999 comeback with "Believe," Universal released four compilations in less than three years, the fourth being reissue division Hip-O's Essential Collection. The four are aimed at slightly different audiences, but there's some overlap: five songs -- "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," "Dark Lady," "Half-Breed," "Take Me Home," and "The Way of Love" -- appear on all four. If I Could Turn Back Time: Greatest Hits focuses primarily on the singer's 1987-1991 Geffen hits; The Best of Cher: 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection is a budget compilation of Kapp, MCA, and Casablanca hits; and The Way of Love: The Cher Collection is a double CD that licenses some of the Imperial hits, but fails to include any of the Geffen ...

Illusions On A Double Dimple
$16.19
Snowed In was recorded during the last year of Tim Rose's life, and the process was, in producer Colin Winston-Fletcher's words, "like trying to tame a lion with a rubber chair." The end result is a short album that is dark, depressing, haunting, atmospheric, ominous, and raw as a bare nerve. Everything moves at a slow (and somehow desperate) pace, with Winston-Fletcher's frequent orchestrations giving the whole sequence a kind of ponderous claustrophobia, and the overall tone here is one of enforced ...
