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.

ELIZABETH - THE SEVENTH SECRET

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)
