PROBE
10 "There is a Universe"
"This
masterpiece crawled up my spine like a
kundalini snake and proceeded to take
the top of my head off. Probe 10
are unquestionably linked to a
very specifically American form of
proto-prog-into-jazz-rock synthesis of
the precise sort Elektra Records
used to specialize in, from Tim
Buckley's Starsailor to David
Stoughton's Transformer. Toss in
trumpet fanfare laden acid psych
straight out of the C.A. Quintet
songbook, the riotously melodic and
dense brassy arrangements of
McLuhan... and...well...hold on to
your hookahs!" —Mutant Sounds
"Unique jazz-rock album with major
space-rock vibes. You have to love the
way the bass counters the
effects-laden guitar solos and heavy
fuzz. Considering how many loner folk
and hard rock private press albums
came from the same time period,
discovering something this ambitious
and unusual is a real kick. Most of
the time, it sounds like the world's
best exploito-jazz record, Herb Alpert
filtered through Pink Floyd and Quiet
Sun." —Acid Archives
