ex Martin Smith, Philip Shulman, Malcolm Mortimore

British progressive rock band active between 1970 and 1980.

Textually inspired by philosophy, personal events and the works of François Rabelais, the group’s early compositional purpose was to expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of becoming very unpopular.
