A short-lived and obscure group, in fact, no one knows even the names of its members. A large part of their album is instrumental, such as the 4-part suite "Sabazo". This is typical keyboard-based classically-inclined progressive rock in the Emerson Lake & Palmer style.

Triade's playing is refined and slightly academic. The album has a short running time and no "special features"; still it is quite good. Check it out if you consider yourself a keyboard fanatic!
