Without achieving mass popularity, the band gained a cult following in the 1970s with albums such as Mirage (1974), The Snow Goose (1975) and Moonmadness (1976).

Since 1991 the band have been independent, releasing albums including Dust and Dreams (1991), Harbour of Tears (1996) and Rajaz (1999) on their own label.
