 The group recorded six records from 1969-1972 that ran the gamut from funky grooves to free, textural territory.The group, though short-lived, created a unique identity and textural palette.Kriegel's compositional and instrumental (playing acoustic, classical, and electric guitar as well as sitar) contributions to the group helped set the Dave Pike Set's sound apart, organically incorporating influences from jazz, soul jazz, psychedelia, avant-garde music, and World music.
