When their eponymous first album was released in 1975, it was in a progressive rock style. The album included one song "Nice, Nice, Very Nice", the lyrics of which were taken from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s novel Cat's Cradle. The album was engineered by Alan Parsons, and nominated for the Grammy award for Best Engineered Recording (other than Classical).
The second album, Somewhere I've Never Traveled, was released in 1976. This album was produced by Alan Parsons, and continued in the progressive rock style. It featured lush orchestration and vocal arrangements. The record sleeve folded into a large pyramid, tapping into a fad belief in mystical "pyramid power".
