    German Pressing has richer sound, more bass. Ignore all negativity on Triumvirat, these guys are balls to the wall fantastic. Outrageous and fun. Illusions on a Double Dimple is a great starting place.

      I have a Winchester and Los Angeles USA pressing and they're both massively off-center. Extremely visible but sadly also audible, particularly in piano segments and near the center of the record. Maybe find a different version if bothered by this.

        Pretty much a blend of early Yes and Emerson Lake and Palmer, some parts are really cool but it doesn't make up for the cheesy parts which are quite bad. The vocals are unappealing.
