They recorded the album "Sound of Sunforest" in 1969 and are remembered for their instrumental "Overture to the Sun" and their song "Lighthouse Keeper", both of which feature on the soundtrack to the movie "A Clockwork Orange".
It was in Washington, DC, in the late 1960s, that Tucker and Hogue began collaborating - with Hogue setting Tucker's poems to music. After meeting Eigen at a party they began writing songs together. On Hogue's initiative, the three moved to London taking the name "Sunforest".
The film director Stanley Kubrick wanted to include two pieces in the soundtrack to his movie "A Clockwork Orange". He asked for "Overture to the Sun" to be re-recorded. Tucker changed the arrangement, and that is the version used in the movie, along with "Lighthouse Keeper".
From 1970, the band mostly performed on stage In London (in the Marquee Club, in the One World Club, in the crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields, in the Roundhouse and in The Troubadour) as well as in Italy. This lasted for about three years. When Eigen left in 1973, the group dissolved.
