I bought two Fruupp albums for £11 each from Rough Trade in Nottingham about five years ago, although it was worth it as they're both pretty rare albums.

Fruupp completely passed me by in the proggy 1970's and I only heard them on YouTube for the first time after 2010, when I first went online. Bizarre as it seems now, I wasn't even aware you could watch music videos on the Internet before I went online. The Internet is like MTV times TEN!! Smile

Yes, it's a Frumpy page. But they are not krautrock. It' s possible everything German is krautrock on wiki. I would not be surprised. Not always reliable... 

Just like to them everything with a mellotron is prog. Confused

The main difference between Fruupp & Frumpy, besides them being British and German, is Fruupp has a male lead singer by the name of Peter Farrelly, and Frumpy has a female lead singer by the name of Inga Rumpf. Smile

True, and the last time I listened to Frumpy was ages ago, so I too am not reliable.

So do I, I don't think he like krautrock. He knows they exist, though, which is what I meant.

Just for the record, not all german prog is considered krautrock. A lot is but not all. A band like Eloy for example were a bit less experimental and more symph oriented and not considered krautrock.

they are not Krautrock. I was thinking they are heavy-prog, but they are under eclectic prog here on PA.

Purely by coincidence, I mentioned Frumpy just before I read your post. Smile

Anyway, Fruupp are pretty good. I had a two in one of their third and fourth albums at one point(on cd). Yeah, similar to mid seventies Genesis. Apparently(according to the liner notes)they opened up for Genesis at one point. 
Wikipedia says they opened for Genesis, Yes and KC.
