Peter K. Seiler had a musical background from his university days (he studied classical music) which prompted him to form a "classical rock" trio, in the tradition of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Their first album (1975) was quite conventional for the symphonic rock genre. However, Between the Universe (1976) was a definite improvement, benefiting from Geff Harrison's vocals (ex-2066 & Then and Kin Ping Meh), catchy tunes and great keyboard arrangements (mainly synthesizers). After this, Seiler seemed to lose the interest in Tritonus, and worked increasingly with other musicians, like Michael Bundt. Check out Bundt's solo albums if you enjoy the Tritonus-style.

Thank you so much for these two Tritonus albums. The first Tritonus is for me a absolute masterpiece. Great symphonic rock from Germany.
Great posts you have on your site. Thanks for all.

It's a pity I can't extract it. It always says password is wrong- I used that of the other files: "http://ezhevika.blogspot.com/"

Thanks for sharing the two Tritonus albums - I have always been a big fan of the Michael Bundt albums (in fact I would say they are amongst the best cosmic/electronic/cosmic disco albums of the seventies) and have always wondered what else Peter K. Seiler did, so now I know!
Stand out track by far from the two albums is Mars Detection and the closest to the later music he made with Bundt.
BTW - the rips are VBR but for anyone interested I did find a 320 rip of the first Tritonus album with a couple of extra tracks over here:

Unfortunately I could not find a FLAC/WAV/320 rip of the second album, but I will keep looking!
Thanks again Lisa!
Just thought, think I forgot to post the link to the 320 rip!
