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. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ 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. The place to buy this is on the Angel Air ░▐ ▌░ two-CD set Definitive Collection, which leads off with all of ░▐ ▌░ the tracks from the LP in sequence, and also contains a ░▐ ▌░ non-LP single and more than 20 previously unreleased studio, ░▐ ▌░ live, and radio cuts. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=B6va6yycu72wwspa2sjrc4acsdu
