Andromeda's sole album was heavy guitar psychedelia that leaned far more toward the lurking hard rock, progressive, and occasionally metal movements than it did toward more pop- and song-oriented psych. There were some impressive guitar exchanges, and as songwriters they certainly didn't lack ambition. No less than three of the eight tracks are three-part epics, clocking in at around seven or eight minutes each. Obviously they took care to vary the tempos and shadings; grandstanding solos and freakouts are alternated with quieter, slower passages. At one point in "Turns to Dust," for instance, they sound rather like Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac; in "When to Stop," a painfully frenzied bit of guitar skronk is followed by pretty flamenco-ish acoustic guitar that subtly quotes from the Yardbirds' "Still I'm Sad." But the songs are meandering and forgettable, for the most part, sometimes bearing passing similarity to Cream at their most indulgent, or looking ahead to the crunch of Led Zeppelin. It's too bombastic, although the absence of a screeching high-voiced singer, as so many bands of this type boast, does help.

Andromeda Biography

Andromeda was a psychedelic/progressive rock trio formed by singer-guitarist John Cann (also known as John Du Cann), formerly of the psychedelic garage band the Attack, Mick Hawksworth (bass, vocals), and Ian McClane (drums, vocals). The group performed in various London venues including Middle Earth and the Marquee Club. Cann's guitar was the dominant instrument, leading listeners through classically based psychedelic and progressive directions and creative dissonances, contributing to the trio's impressive live sets. Andromeda combined their own original writing with elements appropriated out of familiar classical material. They were signed to RCA in 1969 but before that they'd appeared live on the BBC's Top Gear program in 1968, and in the 1990s, other live recordings from their performances at Middle Earth have surfaced as well. The group's first single, "Go Your Way," was released in 1969 and a self-titled album (which featured some impressive vocals) followed quickly. The group broke up late in the year, and Cann joined Vincent Crane in Atomic Rooster, and revived the group with him at the end of the '70s, while Hawksworth played with Alvin Lee and became a member of Ten Years After (and Ten Years Later), as well as playing with Matthew Fisher. Compact disc reissues of Andromeda's work began appearing in the '90s on the Kissing Spell label.

by Bruce Eder

Британский хард-психоделик, коллектив, который был детищем хорошо известного в андерграундной тусовке гитариста и вокалиста Джона ДюКанна. До создания этого коллектива он поработал в психоделической банде Attack, а затем стал известен как участник культовых Atomic Rooster.
Ребята собрались вместе в 1968 и выдали прямо-таки комсомольский чёс по лондонским клубам, поражая слушателей мрачноватым, мощным саундом и очень хитовым, запоминающимся набором композиций. Не обошлось без вездесущего Джона Пила, который приметил перспективную компанию и привлек их в свое шоу. Короче говоря, выпуск дебютного лонгплея был не за горами и уже в 1969 году Andromeda записала на RCA одноименную пластинку. Многие считают ее шедевральной работой на рубеже тяжелого психо и прогрессива. В общем, отдельные вещи точно претендуют на громкое звание "классических" и жаль, что эта группа сегодня почти забыта. Увы, несмотря на резвый старт, записан был всего лишь один альбом и после ухода Джона в Atomic Rooster группа Andromeda развалилась.
