The first album is something between the early Genesis and Barclay James Harvest. The second is harder and real progressive stuff. They play a fairly exciting organ-driven hard rock that is not too far removed from Atomic Rooster (not as heavy) or Frumpy. Later they changed their name to MORSE CODE and sung in French.
