Second and best album IMHO. It's flows perfectly from first track to last.

My pleasure.  Fruupp are one of the great undiscovered treasures of classic British prog. They passed by virtually unnoticed back in the proggy 1970's. Fruupp are one of those rare bands whose last album is just as good as their first album. Thanks to ProgArchives and YouTube, they're gaining some well-deserved recognition in the 21st century. I'm glad you like them too. Thumbs Up

In terms of being undiscovered, did you know the track 'Sheba's Song' from Modern Masquerades was sampled by Hip-Hop artist Talib Kweli (featuring Norah Jones) in a song called 'Soon the new day' in 2007! Ermm

^ No, I'm not too familiar with Hip Hop artists, which is probably a good thing. Smile

Just an obscure snippet.. i posted it only to show that although these bands are perhaps 'lost in time' and known just to an (ageing?) Cognescenti of prog fans, it seems that people from very differing musical and ethnic backgrounds are discovering some of these sounds. I'm not making any value judgements on whether its right or wrong, good or bad but it does generate some new interest.. quite a few people who watched the Talib Kweli video also checked out thw whole Fruupp song and commented in a positive way!

But dont go sampling any King Crimson if you know whats good for you!LOLWink
