Triumvirat, rock progre alemán al estilo de Emerson Lake & Palmer

This German trio is often branded as a clone of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, which is an unfair, if understandable, dismissal.

But what they lacked in originality they made up for with mind-boggling chops. Triumvirat's second LP, 1974's Illusions on a Double Dimple, is a prog-rock masterwork, incorporating operatic choirs and bursts of pop levity into two seamless, side-spanning epics. They softened their approach later in the decade in a quest for commercial stability — and failed miserably. But thanks to Illusions, Triumvirat's legacy among the prog firmament was secure. R.R. - Rolling Stone magazine
