Their psychedelic music is perfectly in tune with the times and opens the door to all the venues and festivals in the region.

The national press is now interested in the combo that goes up to the first part of prestigious group like Martin Circus or "Amon Düül II". An album project is born and the tours follow each other throughout the year 1974. The critics are laudatory but the band, faces financial difficulties and will end up throwing in the towel in 1976 after recording 2 titles in the studio…
