FRUUPP
PETER FARRELLY, MARTIN FOYE, STEPHEN HOUSTON, VINCE McCUSKER
One of the hardest-working progressive bands to end up languishing in relative obscurity,
Fruupp was begun in 1971 by guitarist Vince McCusker. After a brief musical apprenticeship in London,
McCusker returned to Belfast and quickly pulled together a group of largely classically
trained musicians. After two years of gigging, they shopped their demo tape around
and were picked up by Pye Records for their Dawn label. Between 1973 and 1975,
Fruupp released four albums, the last of which was produced by King Crimson alum
Ian McDonald; the band also toured in support of Crimson.

grading
RECORD VG+ but (please, read below description)
SLEEVE VG+ (please, see pictures and read above description)
A strong debut effort that, despite some searing guitar work by Vince McCusker and a well-placed howl
by Peter Farelly in "Decision," remains a strangely low-key work. This may be due to the contemplative nature
of Stephen Houston's keyboard and string parts. The erstwhile title tracks that bookend the album are
instrumental throwaways, but several of the intervening numbers are impressive in their range
and instrumental prowess. "Olde Tyme Future" is an ultimately hopeful elegy for an Irish homeland
that seems unable to escape its own bitter past, alternating stark vocals and organ-driven instrumentals.
"Song for Thought" uses the old progressive structure of spiraling fugues easing into slow blues
on the verses, and it works wonderfully here...(All Music)
