OLDIES AND...
FRUUPP
Maid In Ireland [Esoteric Recordings]
uring the early 1970s, Fruupp commanded a small but devoted following and supported Queen, Genesis and Supertramp. This nine- track ‘best-of’ compilation shines a light on their most intricately-crafted and lustrously polished songs. With their pastoral drifts and convoluted, organ-led staccato passages, the likes of the acrobatic and the prog panoply of show the Genesis connection. Fruupp’s tendency to lace wistful ditties with autumnal strings and twinkling keyboards is evident on and The convoluted neo-classical blow-out, goes pure Foxtrot in ambition before ending on an accelerated jazz gallop.
