Description
The complete recordings ("Ammerland", "Strings", "Live 80" and "Diary" + bonus track) by Fuhrs & Frohling in a 3 CD digisleeve.
In the 1970s, the trio SFF (Eduard Schicke, Gerd Fuhrs and Heinz Frohling) was regarded as the German answer to Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Dieter Dierks produced their debut album "Symphonic Pictures", the Brain label signed SFF and the trio soon gained a reputation throughout Germany as an excellent live band. "It was a bit like magic and an overwhelming intensity that took the audience and the band into another world together," recalls Heinz Frohling.
In 1977 and 1978, SFF recorded two more albums with Dieter Dierks - "Sunburst" and "Ticket To Everywhere". After the recording of the last album, musical and ideological differences arose and the trio disbanded.
Drummer Eduard Schicke joined Hoelderlin, Gerd Fuhrs and Heinz Frohling dropped the S from the band abbreviation and from then on traded under FF (Fuhrs Frohling).
Between 1978 and 1981, the duo released three albums of concertante, progressive instrumental music on the Brain label: "Ammerland" (1978), "Strings" (1979) and "Diary" (1981). In 2001, Heinz Frohling released a concert recording of FF from 1980. Gerd Fuhrs died in November 1992 at the age of 36. Heinz Frohling opened a music school in Oldenburg and founded his own label, Nordsee Records.
