Expansive, lush orchestral arrangements as the band moved into a more progressive sound (like early Traffic) whilst the electric guitars and flutes float and roar above these arrangements making a quite unique sound especially on tracks like "I Got A Woman" and the instrumental track "Michael Fitzhenry", it’s quality stuff indeed.
Andwella (also known as Andwella's Dream and The Method) were an obscure UK/Irish band in London in 1969. Specialising in progressive rock, they were fronted by Dave Lewis from Northern Ireland, who went on to write Happy To Be An Island In The Sun that was recorded by and became an international hit for Demis Roussos.
They released three LPs on CBS Records: Love & Poetry (1969), World's End (1970) and People's People (1971). Their track "World's End" was played frequently in the early 70's on the then-underground FM station out of Georgetown, WMAL. The original vinyl LP 'Love & Poetry' has for some time been a valuable collector's item & this LP is also quite a rarity.
