The third and final album from this duo from Germany.
The band was actually a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
Detlef Wiedecke was the drummer on this album, taking over from Eduard Schicke.
The Schicke & Fuhrs & Frohling released altogether seven albums. Four as Schicke & Fuhrs & Frohling and three as Fuhrs & Frohling. The last one was released in 2011. All of them in the krautrock, neo-classical and symphonic prog genres.
The forty minutes long Diary sees the band in a landscape somewhere between neo-classical music and symphonic prog.
There are a lot of Eloy influences here. But most of all does the Mike Oldfield influences shines through on this album. Tubular Bells is an album which must have inspired this album a lot.
The result is a decent enough album and perhaps their weakest album.
This trio, even as a duo, called Schicke & Fuhrs & Frohling is still well worth checking out. Start with their first two albums, their two best albums.
