Triumvirat-Mediterranean Tales

      I first heard it in 1988, and was bowled over by it's adaptation and elaboration of classical music, and from the suite comprising side one, to the end of the last track, Broken Mirror, on side two, this record for me is Rock music's greatest debut by progressive rock's greatest Band. But the album is more than classical rock, as there is in parts, some jazz inspired jamming on the suite, Across The Waters, and also on the track Eleven Kids. 

             Mediterranean Tales is a beautiful recording, but never trite, and not a note of it is out of place or wasted.

        Triumvirat's debut has a unique atmosphere about it, it's different influences end up culminating in a realisation all it's own, that is astonishing in it's depth of feeling and musical prowess.

        What do you folks think?
