Notes

---

Lyrical and varied progressive rock album with blues and fusion elements featuring odd vocals and inventive music with good flute, nice keyboards and guitar. Andromeda was a keyboards/drums (Peter Schild/Günter Steinborn respectively) duo from Cologne(?), Germany. As far as I know they have only one self-titled recording, which is definitely worth listening for any prog fan. Two other musicians credited on the album are Gerry Fleming on bass and Tony Hendrick [supposedly well known in Germany] on guitar. The latter also produced the album. Most of tracks are (co-)written by Peter Schild whose strong classical training is an eye-striking component of their music that varies from quite aggressive (I did not say rude) hard rock to classically influenced prog with dominating gentle piano. Drumming is not outstanding, not bad though. The boys play really their own music which is not very easy to find a comparison with. They are rocky rather than jazzy or else I could compare them at some moments to Moraz/ Bruford. Sometimes Vincent Crane comes in mind although Andromeda of Germany has very little to do with the music of Atomic Rooster and such a likeness may be misleading.
