Their first album, "Fusioon" (1972) was instrumental and focused on Manel Camp's keyboard abilities and shared similarities with Ekseption, Focus and The Nice. Their second album, also entitled "Fusioon" (1974), proved to be a major step forward adding some Canterbury influences like Egg, National Health and Soft Machine. Their third and last work "Minorisa" (1975) was more complex and approached the music of Zappa, King Crimson and Gentle Giant.
