FRUUPP
PETER FARRELLY, MARTIN FOYE, STEPHEN HOUSTON, VINCE McCUSKER
One of the hardest-working progressive bands to end up languishing in relative obscurity,
Fruupp was begun in 1971 by guitarist Vince McCusker. After a brief musical apprenticeship in London,
McCusker returned to Belfast and quickly pulled together a group of largely classically
trained musicians. After two years of gigging, they shopped their demo tape around
and were picked up by Pye Records for their Dawn label. Between 1973 and 1975,
Fruupp released four albums, the last of which was produced by King Crimson alum
Ian McDonald; the band also toured in support of Crimson.

RECORD VG(+) but (please, read below description)
SLEEVE VG(+) but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Seven Secrets is a pensive follow-up that shows the band stretching out into lengthy and varied suites
like "Garden Lady." Still, "Elizabeth" is one of the band's best compositions, an ambitious
fulfillment of their talents at both string arrangements and progressive rock instrumentation,
and "Three Spires" is a fine showcase for Peter Farelly's wistful vocals.
As on their debut, the title track is a rather fey little bit of filler, but it hardly detracts
from the overall high level of the album...(AllMusic)
