FROON - Froon (1988)


German band, most the musicians involved have played in the Nina Hagen Band and later formed SPLIFF, a successful group that has recorded several albums and sold more than 1 million LP's.

FROON style can be compared with their comrades CHANNEL 5 (already posted in this blog), PANDANCE or VELVET PARKING :
Hi-Tech AOR with high doses of adult stylized european pop.
This is the CD edition, featuring extra tracks originally released only as single b-sides.

Competent players, really good production and some good songs.
Not my favorite album in this genre, but was requested by a reader and posted because it's rare and pretty hard to find.


1. Missing pieces
2. Mountains
3. 200 Guitars
4. Love like law
5. Overboards again
6. Bobby Mugabe (beatbox mix)
7. Time machine
8. Lie
9. Happy doomsday
10. Black and white and blue
11. Then *
12. The spirit is willing *
13. Booby froons the fan *

* only on the CD edition
