Just one album, but superb prog stuff
 
 
 
Some samples here, maybe...
 
 
These guys were quite eclectic, sometimes sounding like JR/F and sometimes like Rare Bird
 
But I just don't know in which genre to submit it
 
WXaddya think?? Big smile

Well they're usually tagged as Krautrock for some reason (I suppose because Austria shares a border with Germany), but they do indeed resemble Rare Bird at times, as you suggest, and they also mix up the styles somewhat, but I can't really see any place for this other than in Crossover (and they DO definitely belong on the site).
 
One confirmed, self-titled, 5-track album from 1975 (though rateyourmusic suggests that a second called 'Forgotten Records' exists somewhere).
 
 
I'm not a great spotify fan, using it only as a last resort when there's nothing else, so here's the album on YouTube:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not much info available for a bio though, it seems...  Ermm

Yeah, I forgot about searching on YTHead on wall
 
But there are atleast three bands called that way... and the Belgian metal band is overwhelmingly present

Did this ever go onward for eval anywhere? Can't find Isaiah on progfreak (where it would be if Crossover had been given it) or in the Krautrock team thread either, so I'm guessing not. Ermm

Yeah these guys are certainly not KrautrockLOL

To my ears they sound like a lot of their brethren from around the same time - the English vocals, light fusion twist, psychedelic passages, folky flute bits - along with some more indefinable moments. 
Reminds me of German band Ikarus and that whole early eclectic feel that one also finds in Traffic and Spring. 

Sending this for eval at the eclectic landsThumbs Up
