Nothing else with the group managed to get big, and their preliminary couple of albums was quite erratic, although several scattered tracks had been nearly as effective as those singles. Although they started to create more of their very own materials on the second recording, their subsequent produces were apparently the merchandise of staff who had small regarding the initial lineup. Their third LP, Mass in F Small, was a quasi-religious idea recording of psychedelic variations of prayers; a definitively extreme period piece, its greatest track (“Kyrie Eleison”) was raised for the simple Rider soundtrack. non-e of the initial Prunes had been still within the lineup once the music group dissolved, unnoticed, by the end from the ’60s.
