No i kolejny tzw. "monster/psych" i co tam jeszcze w duszy zagra. Amerykańska grupa z New Heaven w Connecticut w końcu 1968 roku. Muzykiem o najdłuższym stażu w grupie był gitarzysta Tommy Violante, który wcześniej współpracował i grał w takich zespołach jak beatowym The Shags czy Bram Rigg Set. Grupa nagrała materiał w 1969 na płytę, ale ta ukazała się bodajże dopiero w 1972 roku nakładem wytwórni Poison Ring. Muzyka oscyluje w kierunku ciężkiego brzmienia The Cream, ale osadzonego w bluesowych korzeniach. Niech nikogo nie zdziwi dwóch gitarzystów basowych (tak jest !!!). Jedna z ciekawszych amerykańskich płyt z tamtego okresu.

An Interview with Tom Violante
[Q] After the Shags, you joined with a few members of the Bram Rigg Set and formed Pulse. What year was this, and how long did that band stay together?
[A] Pulse was formed in 1968, after The Shags and Bram Rigg Set dissolved--due mostly to changing tastes in music, and a desire to put together a "power" band. We recorded about 12 songs that varied between R&B, rock, and Cream-like atonal drivel. Pulse lasted until about 1971 and dissolved for many reasons, the least of which was staleness.
[Q] Cream-like atonal drivel?!?
[A] A cross between Cream and nails scraping on a blackboard. No kidding! We were atonal at best, with very dreary lyrics and mostly minor-key songs. I tried to bring us back to a happy place, with several up-tempo, bluesy-type songs and even suggested we have a live or taped horn section. I left Pulse in 1969, right after we cut "Can Can Girl" on the ATCO label and "Don't Let This Happen to You," which never saw vinyl.
