Frooty Rooties is the second solo album of Eric Stewart released in 1982. There were no singles released from this album and just like the previous album, it failed to chart in the U.K. "Make the Pieces Fit" was also featured on the previous album.
The vocal effects on "The Ritual" was created by the first AMS delay line, it's a repeat echo unit that revolutionised "Double Track" Vocals in the 1970s and the chorusing/Flanging is achieved by modulating the effect the repeat of the vocal ever so slightly so that it moves around the stereo.
