That this is dedicated to Helmut Koellen, my favourite musician-living or deceased, makes it most special to me. Thanks to all involved!

This is a gem!

E.L.P. on crack plus some guitars that are actually more of a second fiddle to bass! Good shit.... Also rock needs more xylophones. Played one at a music shop a few weeks ago. Now I need one after seeing this. But my keytar and double-neck bass and lead hybrid will do for now.

Ich liebe Birth Control seit die "Operation" LP und bin heute noch begeistert bei diese hochtalentierte Band. (R.I.P Nossi)

A Tribute to Helmut Köllen / Triumvirat

Genial! Die ganze Platte "Increase", von der das Stück stammt, ist ein Meisterstück, eine der besten Rockplatten, die ich kenne. Alleine schon Horst Stachelhaus am Bass ist ein Genuss, und Bruno Frenzel spielt eine sehr geschmackvolle Gitarre. Besser geht Rockmusik nicht als auf diesem Longplayer von 1977.
