A Group Called Fruupp

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!

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

I'd forgotten about this thread, until I came back to it and gave it a new title.

Okay, I've made a compromise with my Fruupp album rankings: I've rated their legendary debut album "Future Legends" as a well-deserved 5-star album and downgraded the following three albums to 4-star ratings.

That's a good point.

I listened to all four Fruupp albums together yesterday and it was really hard to pick a favourite album when they're all deserving of five stars in my opinion.

 

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.
