Excellent PG Genesis era album but more Folk and Heavy sound oriented.

Fruupp was a Ireland band that plays this excellent debut album in 1973 and that ages in extreme good manner. If please you the more Folk side of Symphonic Prog I think that Fruupp is another band for you.

Few words are necessary for a correct description of 'Future Legends'. When Folk meets Symphonic Prog... There are Fruupp!

It is true, in my opinion, that Genesis are more magical and Strawbs are too Folk but among them Fruupp is a great band for our collection. Probably this sentence is due to the production, not so sophisticated.So the music is not so exlosive as I would have expected. And the magic is poor. So it is difficult to describe song for song this album. Better to speak the construction of the songs. And the songs present, in general, this structure: Folk carpet mixed with Symphonic Prog, a ton of guitar and keyboards and full Folk arrangements in Symphonic way. But the final result is, correctly, Symphonic Folk with Folk layout. The sound is not aggressive but not easy listening.

This 'Future legend' is a great album for PG Genesis fans. But not a masterpiece. Also if great or/ and exceptional album.
