Andromeda was a psychedelic-progressive rock triplet formed by singer-guitarist John Cann (also known as John Du Cann), at one time of the psychedelic garage band the Attack, Mick Hawksworth (bass, vocals) and Ian McClane (drums, vocals). The group performed in several London venues including Middle Earth and the Marquee Club. Cann's guitar was the prevailing instrument, leading listeners through classically based psychedelic and progressive directions and creative dissonances, conducive to the trio's impressive live sets. Andromeda combined their have original writing with elements appropriated out of familiar classical material. They were signed to RCA in 1969 just in front that they'd appeared alive on the BBC's Round top Gear programme in 1968, and recently former live recordings from their performances at Middle Earth have surfaced as well. The group's first undivided, "Go Your Way" was released in 1969 and a self-titled album (which featured some impressive vocals) followed chop-chop. The group broke up late in the year, and Cann joined Vincent Crane in Atomic Rooster, and revived the group with him at the last of the 1970's, while Hawksworth played with Alvin Lee and became a member of Ten Years After (and Ten Years Later), as well as playacting with Matthew Fisher. Compact record reissues of Andromeda's work began appearing in the 1990's on the Kissing Spell label.
