Fruupp – The Prince Of Heaven’s Eyes 1974 (UK, Symphonic Progressive Rock/Prog Folk) Full Album

The third long-play, which appeared six months after “Seven Secrets”, was produced by the musicians themselves. The concept album “The Prince Of Heaven’s Eyes” already evoked associations not only with “Genesis”, but also with the “Beatles”, but this had little effect on commercial success (or rather failure). One way or another, in support of the third album, the team organized serious promotion, touring not only in England, but also in continental Europe. The 1974 tour became the most successful in the team’s history, and the group played part of the concerts together with King Crimson, whose member Ian McDonald was so inspired by the music of Fruupp that he offered his services as a producer for the next disc. Everything would be fine, but the success achieved did not satisfy keyboardist Stephen Houston. He “got into religion“ and joined the Christian rock band Liberation Suites, and John Mason took his place. Tracks: 01. It’s All Up Now - 00:00 02. Prince Of Darkness - 07:36 03.
