Symphonic Prog

I am in two or even four minds about this album. I find it difficult to express any meanings about it whatsoever. Not even after fifteen spins over four weeks.

The music is a mix of blues, jazz, heavy prog and symphonic prog. Not much celtic folk music here. Neither do they sounds like their countrymen Thin Lizzy either. They are just eclectic. Their music is full of small details and pretty symphonic and pastorial. Genesis in the Gabriel era is a good comparison. Besides of that, Fruupp does their own business. And it is a pretty good business too. Their bluesy symphonic prog throws up some golden nuggets now and then. Graveyard Epistle is a golden nugget and an excellent song with it's pumping hammond organ and eastern feeling. The rest of the album is pretty good too with Olde tyme future a worthy rival to that song as the best song on the album.

I am not sure if I am a fan of this band or not. I guess it need some more time. But this album is not among the best symphonic prog albums out there. It is a original album though and perhaps worth checking out as a part of the two albums on one cd budget range. I guess three stars will have to do.

3 stars
