Andromeda (1979)
Similar to Zarathustra, the German moniker of Andromeda is more known from an early 70s album. And just like with Zarathustra, I prefer the later, different band. This Andromeda plays a mixture of familiar progressive rock styles, most notably Jethro Tull due to the use of flute and overall song style. Also Genesis and Yes will get a reference. I was most reminded of mid to late 70s Mythos overall with a nod to Novalis, especially considering the half-German vocals. A very good album, one that carries perhaps too many lyrical passages to be a classic, but the instrumental sections carry the day. Strong guitar work as well.
Technically the band is known as Androméda. They have two other releases that I've not heard.
No reissues exist for any of their albums as of 6/17/25.
