TAKE A BREAK TODAY / THE CAPITOL OF POWER

Interesting single from this great symphonic rock band from Germany. It was recorded around the time of the Spartacus album. As it was common in these cases, Triumvirat was never a singles band. Take A Break Today is totally different from their style on that album and has nothing to do with its concept: sounds like a throwaway tune, too popish (lyrics included). The live version of The Capitol of Power however is a good one, proving they were quite convincing on stage (is there a live album on the vaults? I Hope so).

My remastered version of Spartacus has both tracks included as bonus, which makes this single even more irrelevant today. I can only recommended it for completionists, collectors and hardcore fans.
