Another band that colored my childhood, Frumpy, is now included here. Well, I never
considered that this would be featured here even though I really enjoyed this album.
The key driving force was Inga Rumpf with the powerful vocal and stunning guitar
work. Inga also the driving force that characterized the music of Atlantis. "Singing
Song" was once a big hit in my country with some radios broadcasted the song on
regular basis. The song has a very nice combination of blues and rock music and a
touch of pop as well. The opening part which comprises acoustic guitar rhythm with
vocal moves in crescendo into heavier part with stunning guitar work and Kravetz
pulsating keyboards. Bass guitar plays important role as well. The title track "By
The Way" is a rocker with blues touch, performede energetically by the band, with
high energy. Again, Inga's unique vocal has added key musical characteristic of this
album. I always treat that this is a classic rock outfit that was successful at its
period.
You might find this album nothing intensive about prog elements, but for sure this CD
is one of my favorite classic rock albums, including Bloodrock 1,2,3 and Typstich.
It's pity if Frumpy is included here while Bloodrock and Atlantis are not.
Keep on proggin' ..!
