Yeah, they existed (maybe even still do!?) for many years, and put out lots
of albums.  I only have one, purchased just recently actually.  One of their
earliest works, from 1969 or so (entitled "1000 <something>" - can't even
remember the title).  A Hungarian progressive rock band.  I like it well
enough, and plan to pick up more in the future.

They have a big entry in Jerry Lucky's ProgRock guide (published by CG
Publishing, which is essentially Griffin), with a complete discography.
I'll check it out tonight if I remember.  All I can say is that 'glam-rock'
outfits they're wearing in the lone group photo in this book is a total gas!
(Just like Angel, K.K.)  :)
