=>Russ's Update
=============
Hello again Triumvirat fans worldwide:
We have new music for you! Literally!
Legendary Triumvirat (and Mike Oldfield) lead vocalist Barry Palmer
has very kindly given the Triumvirat Website the opportunity to host
the "World Premiere Studio Sneak Peek" of his new studio track
"Ghost Of A Love"!! This is Barry's first new studio track in 12
years, since the release of his self-titled album in the U.K. in
1986. Barry tells us that through this studio sneak peek [the
material is not yet released!!!] he hopes "to show appreciation to
all of these wonderful people around the world who have been banging
the drum for Triumvirat".
This music, co-written and co-produced by David Duncan, (a professional
Scottish/London architect on the 'side') is much different than
Triumvirat. It compliments Renaissance (Annie Haslam and Palmer are
friends), Mike Oldfield (Barry sang on his his 1984 CD "Discovery"),
Triumvirat ("Miracle Tonight" is Barry Palmer's best vocal performance
ever!, & even the Beatles (Barry sings a tribute to John Lennon!). And,
oh, yes; That outrageous voice of Barry Palmer!! Barry's pipes are as
pure and strong as they ever were, and the multi-dubbed vocals and vocal
effects on the upcoming tracks are among the best that he has ever done.
As far as I know, all of the vocals on the new tracks were recorded by
him, and his singing finesse guarantees respect.
I spent many years in radio working with big stars from all walks,
and there are few as down-to-earth as Barry Palmer. He said to me
last week that he is "amazed and truly inspired" by the response to
his music that he learns about through the website and the TATW
newsletter. I look at this "world premiere studio sneak peek"
as a long-awaited reacquaintance between Barry Palmer and his fans.
This music could never premiere here if it weren't for all of the
fan support we receive from every corner of the globe every single
day from all kinds of people.
So don't wait...go listen!! Thanks to help from Barry, Dirk Evans,
and Jim Bradley to assist in negotiating through my technical
impairments enough to get the samples from the studio in London to
YOU!!!! You must have "Real Audio 5.0", and at least a 28.8 modem to
hear the sneak preview. For our friends internationally with a 14.4
modem, e-mail me on how to hear this music. If there is enough
interest, we may be able to put up a 56.6 modem connection. These
are "live streams" similar to radio broadcasts, and cannot be
downloaded since this is, as we say, a "studio sneak peek"...
Thanks again friends, I'll recede now, in favour of hearing another
new Barry Palmer track "Miracle Tonight".!! I have learned today,
however, that there will be a little change in plans and we will soon
hear "Dear John", Barry/Duncan's tribute to John Lennon, after all
:)
Crank it up and congratulate yourselves for making it happen!!

=>Joe's Notes
===========
Greetings to all of our TATW Readers!
Russ & Dirk have all the details on what's going on with Barry Palmer
and why this is the "Barry Palmer Special Edition". I just want to
add my thanks to Barry and state that you still have that unique
Triumvirat voice (as did Helmut) which blends perfectly with keyboard
instrumental driven music. I hope you are able to work on the final
sessions of your latest venture with keyboards providing some of the
instrumental driving force, similar to the high quality of talent by
Jürgen Fritz. Your vocals are very unique and can stand out from all
the electric guitar driven artists by that special blend of various
keyboards, precessions, bass, & occasional acoustic guitar interludes.
All the fans are hoping this leads to the return of Triumvirat music
in some form. In the meantime, we hope that your current venture can
result with some tracks approaching that great Triumvirat style.
Speaking of Triumvirat, I recently contacted the large Rhino label
that reissued all ELP works on CD not too long ago. The response was
that they only pursue CD reissues if tens of thousands of people
are guaranteed to purchase CDs within a reasonable amount of time.
Recently I found the 1997 King Crimson Epitaph 2CD box set in the
library. The insert listed DGM claiming to be a small mobile label
company with offices in Europe and the USA, who have still not given
any response to my inquiry about any interest in pursuing reissues
of Triumvirat material on CD. The URL for King Crimson has just
recently changed to http://www.elephant-talk.com (need to update
that one Dirk). This set includes old BBC Sessions and the famous
1969 concerts at Fillmore West and Fillmore East where they were
on the same stage as the excellent live released NICE album material
with full orchestra (Emerson meets Lake; ELP then forms). Now, that
website & CDNow.com have a 4CD KC Epitaph box set for those that want
to hear the 1969 material over and over at various concerts and
broadcasts during that initial pinnacle success of the group. I did
not realize their version of Mars was the classical version from "The
Planets" (interesting but can't compare with the great ELPowell one).
I was glad to hear live versions of the material from 1969 since the
first album was so unique and I couldn't attend their live concert
in St. Louis back then.
I recently checked the Robert Berry webpage via ELP digest webpage,
and e-mailed an inquiry. Most of us have the Emerson,Berry,Palmer
(Three) album To the Power of Three. Berry's Pilgrimage to a
Point album has many similar great tracks on it with the insert
talking about & showing pictures of Berry's association with Carl
Palmer, K. Emerson and all the other famous artists, and how he had
planned a sequel (Three) album including tracks on Pilgrimage. But,
there were no credits stating who played on what tracks (most of
them sound like Emerson on keyboards and Carl Palmer on precessions
playing with Berry). The webpage confirmed what one of our own
St. Louis area TATW subscribers told me. Robert Berry played all
instruments and vocals in the studio! He must be a musical genius to
have the talent to play and sing the progressive symphonic style of
ELP and Triumvirat as just one artist creating the sound. The
reason for not stating it on the album was that he didn't want to
brag about his talent since this album was a tribute to all the
great names he was lucky to play with. The impression on the
insert was that many artists played with him on the album. The
closest I have never heard of any individual doing a similar type
of one-man show progressive symphonic rock album was Michael
Perlitch from the early 1970's. The bad news is that it was a one
album tribute project and his new album is standard vocals without
any virtuoso keyboards and precessions. (Note: The play on words
earlier, Emerson,"Berry,Palmer", was done intentionally:)
I also want to thank Dirk for telling me to check out music by
Renaissance in the library. I am still in awe, since I thought that
only Rotary Connection made that type of prog symphonic rock music.
I swear I listened to KSHE95 all the time in the early 1970's which
played T'rat, ELP, Rotary, Tull, YES, Moody Blues, etc., but I had
never heard any music by Renaissance until the past several weeks.
I'm hooked now, as anyone would be after hearing their albums.
You will notice in the FEATURE section of this special edition the
first of many future colorful video reviews by Martin Kornick, an
inside look of how the TATW newsletter is created, and new website
links added by Dirk. What is needed still, is a regular audio
review author for future issues. I believe my pulse beats in sync
with that of most Triumvirat fans. So on behalf of all fans, we
would love to read words of wisdom by Triumvirat alumni in future
issues. We all support your latest venture Barry, and would love
personal messages from you, Jürgen, Hans, and your other fellow
artists to appear in the future issues of TATW. The website and
newsletter are now growing exponentially and it would be an honor to
present all of your thoughts directly in front of the Triumvirat
world wide fan base. We are here to serve the fans and the group.

Dirk Evans Triumvirat Homepage Webmaster dirk@triumvirat.net =>Progressive Video Review ======================== Hello Mr. 10 Percent & TATW Readers! Welcome to The Progressive Treasures Video Review! As an avid collector of Rare Progressive Videos for over 12 years, I am proud to give TATW readers a special peak into the world of underground collector videos. Periodically I will review new videos as well as rare old favorites that are available ONLY for "collector to collector" trading. When we watch ELP documentaries such as '93 ELP Welcome Back Video and the '74 Mantacore documentary you can pretty much see an overview of the major video footage that was made of the band during the 70's. One concert, however, always seems to be left out... This would be DEPAS Publishing's Emerson Lake & Palmer live in Tokyo Japan 1972. This program gives you around 70 minutes of live footage from the Trilogy Tour as shown on Japanese TV. (The tape also contains some short Japanese Commercials and rounds the tape off at 81 minutes total.) The show begins with a black screen and the words "DEPAS" in the upper right corner. The new upgrade opens with ELP taking the stage (this was missing on the previous version), KE wearing a black Japanese style jacket with a colorful dragon on the back, GL wearing his classic white suite, and CP with no shirt on. There is a short commercial break and then it kicks right into Hoedown. This is the only piece we hear from Trilogy, as I understand the band did not play much from that album due to the many overdubs that were used in it's recording. Right at the start of the song, we hear some Japanese commentary about ELP, but this is the only place that this happens. What makes this recording really fascinating is that it seems like the cameramen and editors are on more drugs than the audience. I also get the feeling that this footage was found in a dumpster after 15 years and they spliced it together with whatever live clip they could find. While most of it looks just fine, when it cuts from one camera to another, sometimes the quality completely changes. I also have to mention the cheesy visual effects, like the 180º161º rotating camera. Or the camera on it's side effect, and the famous upside camera that we all enjoy. There is one camera that floods the screen with a color that is so obnoxious it makes your TV screen flip over. No joke, I actually think our TV sets can't produce this color. There is also an occasional video jitter or tremble on the close-ups of Greg Lake. It happens maybe once with KE, but it always seems to be on the GL close-ups. After we get a nice dose of all that for "Hoedown", we get into some of the most extraordinary footage of ELP around: The complete version of "Tarkus" including Greg singing "Epitaph," and the long closing Jam version of "Aquatarkus." I really enjoy this segment as we watch KE tooling around with his Mini Moogs as if he just bought them the other day. And we see Kieth play the Huge Modular Moog, pull out the Ribbon Controller and create those soaring sounds that we hear on the Welcome Back '74 Live album -- Complete with Greg Lake in super slow-motion action. And once again, we are foiled by the cheesy visual effects, as we watch the entire Tarkus composition through a hole probably created by putting Jelly around the camera lens'. It appears that it started to rain and the "jelly" covers up the huge plastic tarps around the stage. Only until the next song do you see them pulling away the plastic tarps and you hear Greg singing "I'm Singing in the Rain." Nonetheless, amazing footage of "Tarkus" that is completely enjoyable. The show continues with "Take A Pebble" including Keith doing some piano improvisations. At one point our serious young Mr. Emerson plays the piano with his feet! During this improv section you see the giant plastic tarp being pulled away from Keith. After the next commercial we start off with "Pictures At An Exhibition" and Carl Palmer ringing the big golden bell hanging above his head. But after a few minutes it fades out and says "End of Part 1." With the previous copy of this show that has been around, the quality on the following 20 minutes was so bad it was completely unwatchable. But, now the upgrade surpasses the first 60 minutes of our show, with no jitters or flipping. It begins with "ELP Part 2," and the song "Rondo." Across the screen we see a giant lightning bolt vibrating over Keith's head as he battles the L100 organ. And Keith really goes nuts during this exhibition, turning the organ completely upside-down. And instead of just stabbing it with knives, Keith pulls out a samari sword and thrusts it into the organ! But beware drummers, they edited out Carl's drum solo. For our closing number it starts off again with the entire "Pictures at an Exhibition." Now for those of you that are familiar with Lindsey Clennell's "Pictures" film, we all know about the famous comic book segment during "The Hut of Baba Yaga." There we can't see the band playing, but we see Captain America doing battle with the forces of evil instead. During this show however, we can see all the live action. But, don't think our friends didn't try to do something like Lindsey. What we get is an etch-a-sketch drawing being created on top of the live footage. We watch a guy scribble curved & straight lines until the finale when the artist completes a picture of "Marvin The Martian" from the Bugs Bunny Cartoons. Being a cartoonist myself, I find this quite amusing, but I don't think Keith or Mussorsky had cartoons in mind when they penned this number. All in all, this show is a definite for Die-Hard ELP fans!!! But, an average fan may find this film less than enjoyable. The picture quality is "A", The Sound Quality is "A-" (due to static on "Take A Pebble"). Martin Kornick Chicago, U.S.A. Write me at: treasures@interaccess.com =>Inside Look of TATW Creation ============================ How is the TATW Newsletter put together, when does an issue come out, and how do you select what gets in and what does not get in? Since Dirk can devote full time to the website, this allows me to create the HTML version of the newsletter (the web site/archive version) using WordPad to take a previous HTML version and edit it. This gives a nice uniform format, allows links, colors, and nice appearance on the website. The Netscape or Internet Explorer HTML browser has a nice feature under file/save as/plain text pull down that lets me or you save a page currently in your browser as a plain text file. This gives a nice uniform file for e-mail distribution that will look the same to all recipients by simple mouse select/copy/paste operations. Typing e-mail and sending it never looks the same in most cases compared with the nice uniform plain text file created by this method. So you can go to an album page for lyrics, save the page as plain text, edit what you want, and create a font/size of your choice for printing. Subscribers are put in the address book of my Internet Explorer mail utilty and then can be put in a group name for easy distribution in just a couple minutes to all subscribers. I myself prefer Netscape for web/HTML browsing, but use both browsers depending on what I want to do. An issue comes out when there is enough e-mail submitted to make it worthwhile to consolidate what fans would be interested in, or if there is important news that needs to get out quickly to subscribers. This particular issue is coming now mainly because of Barry Palmer. With Russ now having direct contact to Triumvirat alumni, there will always be important news directly involving the group or individual artist activities. With Dirk constantly evolving more information on the website, there will always be something new about the site in every issue. The new form (feedback) page allows much in the way of comments, questions, & answers coming to all three of us automatically. This has a big impact on what will go in future TATW issues along with regular e-mail received by the three of us. The WANTED section & COMMENTS AND COMMUNICATION sections are essentially created by all of the readers themselves and web site visitors that may have not even read a TATW issue. Hopefully, everything that gets put in an issue is of interest to most of the TATW readers and to Triumvirat alumni. Basically I gather together e-mail messages and generate a comprehensive draft version that goes to Russ and then to Dirk. Typo errors are corrected, anything violating possible copyrights are left out, and anything that might be offensive based on race, sex, religion, etc. is not allowed. This is the advantage of having three editorial individuals screen TATW and to ensure accuracy of non-opinion statements. As far as the FEATURE section goes, I would love to have a direct message from Triumvirat alumni for each issue. I am also looking for a regular audio review author source now that I have a video review author for each issue. The PROGRESSIVE ROCK NEWS section is open for anything not put in the other sections. Anyone interested in contributing information to the newsletter may send e-mail directly to me. Joe Toohey TATW Editor/Distributor triumvirat@theonramp.net

=>Barry's New Song ================ From: Andrew Conover SMTP: aconover@ecicnet.org I just listened to Barry's new song and found it very good. When can we expect more? I can't wait for the release of the new CD. Thank you Barry. From: Grant Penton SMTP: penton@odyssee.net I'm impressed! Great haunting melody, good vocal treatments perfect for the song, real nice backing echo voices. Looking forward to the next posted material! =>The First Form User on the Site =============================== From: Scott Managhan SMTP: monaghan@ne.uswest.net I have been a fan since 1974. A friend played "Illusions ..." for me, then I bought "Spartacus" and "A La Carte" as soon as they were released. "A Bavarian in New York" is actually my favorite from all the albums, but my vinyl is worn. I have been able to find some old "Lake" albums on CD, but only "Spartacus" from Triumvirat. Is there any access to the Korean "import" of "A La Carte?" I am a data conversion specialist with a cable/telephone software company and will be converting the TCI offices in Overland, Belleville, St. Peters and St. Louis on January 31 through February 5. (I just noticed a few of you folks are in St. Louis.) Anyway, if you have any information on CD availability, let me know through E-Mail. Thanks. action: subscribe, received December 30, 1997 (Note: Scott was the first user of the feedback page, subscribed the day before Issue #12, and of course was warned about Si Wan quality on A La Carte as was discussed in previous issues of TATW. Also, as a separate Note: Before the last issue, one reader subscribed from Reunion island in the Indian ocean. With the form (feedback) page we recently got a subscriber from Nelson Napitupulu on Jakarta way out in Indonesia (Nelson_Na70@hotmail.com) who also wanted lyrics to all Triumvirat albums. This is just one of many isolated fans asking for Jürgen Fritz to please allow the website to display all Triumvirat lyrics.) =>Great Homepage ============== From: Ward Spring SMTP: ward@accessone.com Thanks for all the work on the Triumvirat Homepage...And I thought I was the only fan left alive...I'd like to voice my wish that Triumvirat reunites for a tour as well as new music. I'm hoping to find everything by T'rat on CD. Thank You Jürgen Fritz for all the wonderful music you've given me...Please make some more, and reissue everything you've done on CD! (follow-up received by Ward > :) Thanks for your warm welcome...I've been a huge fan of Triumvirat since the '70s and am now looking to collect EVERYTHING they've done on CD. I am happy to see there are lots of fans out there...I thought I was the last one carrying the flame... I'll be checking in often, Thanks for all the work you've done for T'rat! Ward! (Editor note: Ward is from Seattle & doesn't know Jim Bradley.) =>Fast Reply Back to Fan ====================== From: Gary Cannon SMPT: ca8703ga@uscolo.edu Dear Dirk, WOW! What a fast reply! Thank You! I was disappointed to learn that A La Carte is not currently out on "legitimate" CD. It would be neat if someone could encourage the band to re-release A La Carte on CD. I know that this album is very different than most of the other albums, but it has a dear place in my heart and was a very good album. I always look at an album on its own merits and not on what "I" expected the band to do next...(A La Carte passed this test for me). Please let me know if this status ever changes. Once again my hat is off for your quick reply! I love the the Triumvirat page and think all your efforts are super! Also, it is very commendable for people to take the interest and effort to help us who may have only heard the music long ago, to learn more and complete our mental picture. Thank YOU! I hope a Triumvirat reunion all works out. It has to be realized by the band members that they have a lot of people that appreciate their musical creations. So many bands have not stayed together or taken interest in their musical legacies. And, since the music scene is really fragmenting with everyone liking different segments, these bands have an opportunity to perform without trying to be hits on the "charts." Triumvirat is a solid band musically. They should look deep into that fact and rethink whatever is presently standing in the way. Sincerely, - Gary L. Cannon - =>Fan on the Site from WebTV ========================== From: Mike Klotz SITE FORM: via webtv.net It is really strange to see that the band is so well remembered by so many people. When I was listening to that "mouse in the lightbulb" album in high school, my friends thought my musical tastes were eclectic to say the least. It is great to know that my friends did not gauge the lasting appeal of the band. I always felt that the band was unique in their style and probably had the tightest coordination between a keyboardist and drummer I ever heard. =>Longtime Triumvirat Fan Finds CDs ================================= From: Mark Fonda INTERNET: markfonda@setarnet.aw I was so glad to find the Triumvirat Homepage recently!! Like many others I see from reading the archive newsletters, I thought I was the only person who still loved Triumvirat... but now I realize I am not alone. I first heard "Spartacus" back in 1975 and soon had all their releases on vinyl. I got out of music for quite a while and all my old records are long gone. I'm now back into it again, and I'm rebuilding some of my old favorites on CD... at the top of the list was Triumvirat, of course. I have kept the sound of that raspy synth from "Eleven Kids" in my head for over twenty years without even hearing it. I got POMPEII and OLD LOVES DIE HARD easily and then I lucked out and found MEDITERRANEAN TALES at the Virgin Superstore in Costa Mesa, CA. The CD is even better than I remember the vinyl ever sounding. Now I've just located and ordered SPARTACUS from Modern Sound in Brazil and ILLUSIONS ON A DOUBLE DIMPLE from Cranium Music in New Zealand. Thanks for the tips on locating these classics!!! I am in Aruba, so you can add me to subscriber list and Aruba as another country at top of TATW!!!

Rather than have Yes fans jump around to the different sites for official information, YesWorld will be undergoing a transition and become THE preeminent location for official Yes information and content, thus reducing much redundancy between the sites. Both Notes and YM will be a part of the site. This will not affect Notes as THE Internet Yes digest for online Yes fans to voice their opinions, nor will it affect Yes Magazine's print editions. But it will affect YesWorld, and for the better.
