FRUUPP may sound like some obscure Krautrock outfit from deep in the heart of Bavaria, but no, they're some obscure Belfast-based outfit from deep in the heart of Northern Ireland. ![]() I'd love to post their four superb albuumms of Symphonic Prog right here, but that's no longer allowed, so instead, you can check them all out in the link below, if you so wish. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll pick my favourite song from each of Fruupp's four albuumms and post the videos later in this thread.

In that case, you're in for a treat. Fruupp sound a bit like Genesis, so I'd be surprised if you don't like them.

Been listening to Midnight Masqurades, they're very good.

I'm glad you like Fruupp. There's a similarly-named band called Frumpy too, and they really are German.

I kind of doubt Psychedelic Paul knows them but there was also a german prog band called Frumpy. At first that's what I thought he was referring to. Lol.
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. He does know them, interestingly. At first I thought this was some Robert Fripp project.

I very much doubt he has listened to Frumpy.

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

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.

Am I thinking of the wrong Frumpy? I'm thinking of this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frumpy

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...

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

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.
