Album: Andromeda

We open with a galloping proto-metallic marvel, as were many Andromeda songs. This is John Du Cann's adaptation of the theme music from the historical epic "Exodus", starring Paul Newman (youtube: 1 , 2). This is a great example, like Holst's "Mars" influencing Black Sabbath, of something older being respected by forward-thinking musicians. According to John, it was played as the encore at shows during the peak of their popularity, which was pretty high at the time. They were playing with bands such as The New Yardbirds (soon to become Led Zeppelin), and topping bills with Black Sabbath.
Andromeda existed for a short time, up until 1970 when guitarist John Du Cann left to join Atomic Rooster. The other main members were Ian McLane (drums) and Mick Hawksworth (bass - Fuzzy Duck, Ten Years Later). Being something of an early hard rock originator, John is a regular mention on this blog, and was in bands The Attack, Hard Stuff, Atomic Rooster and others that have appeared here. "Exodus" is a non-album track that was first published on Angel Air's 2CD "Andromeda Definitive Collection", which has a large number of demos and live tracks which make for a great listen.
