"Fruupp never released a live album, thus those who long to hear Fruupp in the raw are out of luck. Fortunately, however, some shows were recorded by audience members and today circulate among the world of tape-traders. The quality of these recordings are quite varied, though the quality of performances are unilaterally outstanding. There are no known commercial bootlegs of live Fruupp shows. Vince McCusker reputedly has tapes of the never-released live album that was in the works when the band split up. Perhaps one day these shows will get released on CD ... perhaps."

"As keyboardist Houston had left, taking away his wind instrument (all too rarely used, anyway), they brought in John Mason. This was not the only change, as ex-Crimson man Ian McDonald produced the album and added some sax. So as you might guess, the atmosphere on this album is a bit different, but the spirit of Fruupp is clearly still present. As a newcomer, Mason will contribute two songs including the cornerstone Gormenghast and the closer Sheba." - Sean Trane-ProgArchives

"FRUUPP's music is very melodic and varied mith a mix of influences ranging from the aspects of The BEATLES to GENESIS. Once again this album is centered around the keyboard work of Stephen Houston with lush mellotron-string atmospheres and melodic piano. Peter Farrelly's unique characteristic vocals really helps shape the unique sound of FRUUPP and offers a unique contrast to other lead singers. Martin Foye's drums and Vincent Mc Cusker's guitars are also quite superb and add some great musicianship. FRUUPP will be most remembered for their little highly sculptured folky-prog songs scented in their own unique characteristics and style..." - loserboy-ProgArchives

"All tracks are good, my favorite is Garden Lady , a 9 minute song which starts with a harder sound than the other ones, but suddenly a dramatic change (all of us already know that one of the beautys of prog rock is the dramatic change in the songs), here a couple of minutes of only keys and guitars in perfect time , then some good bass lines and a great drums rythm..." - memowakeman-ProgArchives

"Irish guitarist, singer and writer Vince McCusker had spent some months in London to find musicians for his musical ideas. Disappointed he returned to Belfast and recruted musicians to play his material: Miles McKee (lead vocals), Stephen Houston (keyboards/oboe), Peter Farrelly (bass/vocals) and Martin Foye (drums). They called themselves FRUUPP, the name is dreived from an Electroset Page, the band added an U and a P. FRUUPP signed a contract with Dawn Records and in ’71 they released the debut album titled "Future Legends", in ’74 followed by the "Seven Secrets" and "The Prince of Heaven’s Eyes". The band was making real progress (good sales, succesfull gigs) but Stephen Houston left for religious reasons the band and was replaced by John Mason. In this line-up FRUUPP made their last but acclaimed LP "Modern Masquerades" (’74)." - ProgArchives
