MAAD played their very own kind of ironic and absurd experimental music. The group had an uncommon sound, highlighting piano and vibraphone. Their album merged fragments of easy listening, jazz, ethnic music and even progressive rock. MAAD were associated with L'Orchestra, a label started by Stormy Six.
