There are also some classical chamber music elements in their recordings due their orchestrations.Ĭhris Blackwel signed the band to the new Island record label, which managed also bands like TRAFFIC and FREE. Their music is melodic late 60's pop building up from a large palette of styles (rock, pop, folk, jazz, Latin rhythms and classical music), and their work have been compared to THE BEATLES albums 'Revolver' and 'Rubber Soul', MOODY BLUES and early PROCOL HARUM.

Their original line-up consisted of six musicians, but the persons and number of them varied during the following years. The original NIRVANA was founded at United Kingdom in year 1967 by Irish born Patrick Campbell-Lyons (ex SECOND THOUGHTS) and Greek guitarist Alex Spyropoulos.
