FUTURE LEGENDS

Nice find! Progressive rock in line with NEKTAR, PROCUL HARUM, WISHBONE ASH, ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA and a little BEATLES, TRAFFIC, and HAWKWIND. LIke previous reviewers, I find the first few songs rather dull and more straightforward bluesy rock. But with "As Day Breaks with Dawn" (8/10), "Graveyard Epistle" (9/10), "Lord of the Incubus" (8/10),"Song for a Thought" (9/10), and, especially, "Old Tyme Future" (10/10) FRUUPP definitely hit into some memorable performances and truly progressive (though nothing really ground-breaking) pieces. I really like the lead electric guitar work of Vincent McCusker, but it is the softer, subtler song sections that really impress me--that really draw me in deeply--especially the vocal work.

Nice work that I'm glad is 'out of obscurity' (I had never heard of this band.) 3.5 stars rated up for it's 1973-ness. Good album, excellent addition for those interested in the quality bands and albums out there that many of us never had the chance to get to know.
