A short lived conceptual prog-rock band formed by Mike and Paul who were both students at Cornwall Technical College, the name coming from Mike who had some Art work which coincided with it at the time.

John was a recital organist at Truro Cathedral and brought a unique edge to the band. Mike was still under contract with Decca records from his Parlour Band days and gave it another shot at recording some demos with long term producer Nick Tauber (who later worked with Thin Lizzy, Toyah and Marillion).

Sadly Decca didn't know what to make of this far-out, dark and mysterious music and nothing came of the sessions. The nearest comparison in sound would be Quintessence. The band only played one gig, at Cornwall Tech'.
