I have Seven Secrets, which is my only Fruupp experience so far. I like it, beautiful in some passages actually.

Future Legends is excellent, an easy 4 star for my taste. I also have The Prince Of Heaven's Eyes & Modern Masquerades together, but never listened to it for some reason.
I'll put it on right now!

And you're absolutely right Michael about the runion Clap

Ha, only listened to `Seven Secrets' just last night, and now I find this thread!

Got the complete set myself! I think in a few spots the vocals try a bit hard, but there's something about a really good and underrated prog rock band that released four great albums, and disappeared before the late 70's/commercial rot got to them!

I wonder what chance there would be of a reunion with these guys? I think there'd be enough love for them, and there's plenty of other fairly obscure bands that have come back, so why not Fruupp? Although if I recall, one of them left the band for personal religious reasons?

Proud owner of all their 4 LP's too !!!  Love them all - especially Future Legends.  Farelly plays awesome bass, McCusker is a wicked guitarist, Houston (and Mason) always tasteful on the keys and Foye spot on with the drums. 
Totally fetching artworks on all the albums too.

Modern Masquerades is one of my favourite albums of all time.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

I have one album, "Future Legend", Not bad but it doesn't impress me too much.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
