Ma keʻano laulā, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka opus mua o ka hui e ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me ka lehulehu. Akā no ka hui, ʻo ia wale nō ka mea mua, akā he pae nui loa.

I ka wā mua, ua hele ka pūʻulu ʻAe ma ka lewa a me nā palena, loaʻa ka ʻike honua, ʻaʻole wale ka poʻe kiʻi rock-rock. Ua hui pū ka hui me nā mea hoʻokani kaulana e like me David Bowie a me Lou Reed.

Ua māhele ʻia ka hui i ʻelua mele. ʻO kēia nā "orthodox" art-rockers i mua o Yes me Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman a me kahi hui pop-oriented ʻAe.  

Ma 2014, ua hoʻonohonoho ka hui i kahi huakaʻi ʻEulopa. Ua holomua ʻo ia me nā ʻano hana like ʻole a me nā hana ola hou o nā mele kahiko.
