In 1972 the British band Janus had their lone album of ‘70s hard rock doused in ’60s psychedelic effects by German studio engineers.
The band disowned the awkward hybrid but this reissue uncovers Janus’ fascinating, acid flanged, proto-metal silhouette.
A second disc sees guitarist Colin Orr politely and rather pointlessly remix the brilliantly bewildered record, though the softening of the seagull sound effects during the Rodrigo Guitar Concerto rip-off in the monumental twenty-five minute title track is a demonstrable improvement.
