____________________ Russ' Update Hi all My source in Cologne (who asked to remain anonymous) said that Jürgen was
"absolutely stunning" and that the performance was "sensational"
and "breathless". I believe it was taped for television and maybe our
friends in Cologne can try to get us a copy and more details about the show. I
did not hear it, but I heard about it from two different people who were there. Jim's Corner Greetings Friends ! Did everyone survive Y2K ? Did the sky fall in your area ? Power still on ? (oh, wait a minute....must be still on if you're reading this !) Okay, so much for all the hype. I saw all the major cities around the world had their marvelous New Years celebrations, and then there was Seattle. (pause for effect) The only city to cancel it's celebrations, how embarrassing. I guess there's always next year. On the other hand, we did have the WTO protests in December. There are a couple changes to let you know about. We are discontinuing the Site Update mailing list. There are simply too few subscribers to that list to justify continuing it. Apologies to those of you that are subscribed to that list. And speaking of mailing lists, we had
some interruption in our email while we added the new Freemail
service. This also disrupted the operation of the forms on the site,
and the subscription system. I'm looking into arranging for a new
subscription system, but until something new is setup I am adding new subscribers
manually. I *think* that I've gotten the backlog of subscriptions
taken care of, and I apologize if I've missed anyone ! * * * * * * * * * * *

________________________ Triumvirat Remasters ?? Hey, what happened ? Looking for Triumvirat Remasters at Christmas time and finding nothing ? Yes it's true, the long awaited Remasters have yet to be released. Last we heard, EMI was saying Feb.-April 2000, but we haven't been able to get any updates since then. So how about this folks. EMI engineer Gert "Glini" Gliniorz is THE MAN in charge of the stuff. Since he hasn't responded to the last few emails, why don't we inundate him with requests ? Send him a polite note and ask him about the Triumvirat Remasters. Let us know if you get any response ! His email is: glini@emimusic.de EMI in Cologne has gone from 740 employees to 80 in recent months, and is under new leadership. And you may have heard the news that EMI now plans on merging with Time-Warner (who in turn is planning on merging with America Online). We hope that the Remasters will soon be released. We may not get any forewarning of the the releases, so if anyone spots them, PLEASE let us know and we'll pass it on to everyone else ! Triumvirat Net Freemail Need an email account that you can access from any internet connected computer in the world ? Well look not further ! We have recently added our own free web-based email service, powered by everyone.net . You too can have a triumvirat.net email address. To setup your own triumvirat.net freemail
account, visit : (note: you can logon to your freemail account directly from the Triumvirat Net homepage) Barry Palmer Update "Barry Palmer arrives in Isla Vista, California on February 17 for a two week visit to complete the digital recording of the "extended CD single which features an all-new recording of 'Dear John' complete with orchestration and live drums done by sometime Fish drummer Neal Findley.

The original demos of these songs can be heard in real audio on Barry's websitehttp://www.barrypalmer.com The recording wraps up March 1, mixing and mastering will be done in March-April.

For information on the state-of-the-art equipment that will be used on the recording you can visit the site of Nik Green and Penny's site "The Away Team" at http://www.theawayteam.com and hear their great music too! You can write Barry Palmer a personal message via barry@barrypalmer.com Russ Hi Jim, By surfin' through the www I reached your very interesting Triumvirat page...Wow, interesting to find myself in the Internet after all these years of being the bass player with the group. My name is Dieter Petereit. For the first time I searched for myself and ended here. What are you guys doing..is this a kind of fanclub? I sent a message to Barry Palmer. I met Jürgen a couple of years ago in Berlin...do you have his email-address? I quit the active music scene around '89 and switched to the other side, to radio. I'm programming several radio stations in Europe and worked as head of music for Berlin's public radio, Radio B2. Please send me a note....this is real fun stuff... Greetings from raincountry... Jail CD Release The 1976 CD "We Can help You" by the Cologne, Germany group JAIL: (which featured former Triumvirat lead vocalist Helmut Köllen on guitar and some vocals) is said to be available in stores in Cologne GERMANY by Monday. I think this means that the Triumvirat collection is next, but again all we have are rumblings and I have not gotten an official confirmation from EMI- Electrola or Jürgen Fritz.

Time Warner, EMI in Music Deal Time Warner, EMI in Music DealEMI and Time Warner Will Merge Their Music Businesses To Become World's Largest in That FieldNEW YORK (AP) -- Time Warner's merger deals with America Online and EMI were hatched separately, but they both help advance a common goal: bringing music to the Internet. Time Warner's chairman and CEO, Gerald Levin, has been saying for months that the music business would be the first big winner from opportunities in promotion and distribution offered by the Internet. He repeated that mantra Monday in announcing the merger between his company's Warner Music Group and EMI of Britain, which would create the world's largest music company with $8 billion in annual revenues. Seagram's Universal Music Group had been No. 1 with $6.3 billion. ``Music, out of all our businesses, is the one that will benefit most from the Internet and the digital revolution,'' Levin told a London news conference via satellite from New York. Challenge to Warner-EMI Merger Audio Investor Alert: Bertelsmann Moves to Challenge Warner-EMI MergerThe London Daily Telegraph reported Monday that German media group Bertelsmann AG is prepared to make a rival bid for EMI group which announced Sunday that it was ready to merge with Time Warner Inc.
