Founded in 1969 by guitarist Frank Bornemann, the band has endured several line-up changes, with Bornemann being the only consistent member of the group. In the 1980s, after a series of major splits (like in 1984 although reformed in 1988) in the group, Bornemann pursued a more commercial direction. Despite attracting a large following, the band never gained popularity in the United States.
However, in later years, former members of the band re-joined, and in 1998 fans delighted in hearing Ocean 2, a return to the classic symphonic progressive genre that the band was so well known for. A sequel to the 1977's original, it is commonly thought among fans that it successfully recaptures the spirit of the band, and is a worthy follow-up to the much beloved classic.
Of the band's numerous records, fans generally consider Inside, Floating, Dawn, Ocean, Silent Cries & Mighty Echoes, Planets and Ocean 2 to be the superior albums.
Despite their nationality, the band is not generally considered krautrock due to their sound which has much more in common with English progressive groups such as Pink Floyd and Yes.
In 2009 after a decade of hiatus Frank Bornemann released a DVD celebrating their 40th anniversary and a new album called Visionairy.
In the following period he worked on a concept double album about the life of the Maid of Orleans, Jeanne d'Arc. The album The Vision, the Sword and the Pyre, Pt. 1 was released in 2017, followed by The Vision, the Sword and the Pyre, Pt. 2 in 2019.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y guardaste su voz en tu corazón
te entregaste sin condición ,
lo esperaste con fe y devoción;
y en ti se formo,
su sangre en ti corrió,
en tu seno latió
que pronto floreció
en nuestro salvador,
lo que se prometió
en tu niño se cumplió.
Bendita seas
lo serás siempre
y bendito el fruto
de tu vientre,
manantial de amor,
fuente de vida,
Dios te salve
virgen María.
Es tu silencio la mas bella oración,
humilde condición testimonio de amor
que ni la espada ni la aflicción
derrotaron a tu corazón
cuando Jesús lloro
y a tus ojos volvió
quebrantado tu ser
con El seguías de pie,
cuando El lloró
y dulce te miro
mi madre te nombro
mi Reina del amor.
Bendita seas
lo serás siempre
y bendito el fruto
de tu vientre,
manantial de amor,
fuente de vida,
Dios te salve
virgen María.
Bendita seas virgen María,
mujer del si,
Dios te eligió
y la salvación nació de ti,
Enséñame a responder
con la vida mujer del si,
pues como tu yo quiero decir
hágase en mí, hágase en mí.
Bendita seas
lo serás siempre
y bendito el fruto
de tu vientre,
manantial de amor,
fuente de vida,
Dios te salve
virgen María.
