Andromeda was a
German progressive rock band (krautrock/heavy prog) from the beginning
of 70s, but as they sing in English it's difficult to tell what country
are they from without checking their roots first. They managed to
record only one album and disappeared forever. The band’s music is very
varied, at its lightest resembling late-60′s The Beatles, though mostly
it’s heavy and psychedelic rock — quite aggressive hard rock to
classically influenced prog with dominating gentle piano. As the music’s
often fronted by chunky organ, with blues and classical elements, hints
of Brian Auger or The Nice are notable. The album sleeve doesn’t list
who does the vocals. There’s also a guest brass-section on some tracks
as well as female backing vocalists. Their only, self-titled album is
dominated by blazing Hammond organ sounds, but there is something
specific about those guys music that can't be easily categorized. There
are elements of heavy prog, jazz-rock, psychedelic rock and even many
classical music-inspired symphonic prog moments. Line-up / Musicians Peter Schild/keyboards Tony Hendrik/guitars Gerry Fleming/bass Günther Steinborn/drums Discography Andromeda 1970
