Robin Trower in "Hindsight"
Robin Trower's "Caravan to Midnight" was a record from the future which Michelle Gordian showed to Pete Lundquist. "Rock and roll" had not entered the popular lexicon by 1953, so Lundquist had no idea what to expect. When Gordian explained that Trower played an electric guitar, the idea of futuristic technology married to music intrigued him more. The record was clearer than those of his own time. Trower attacked his song "My Love (Burning Love)" like a man going after a snake with an axe, and Lundquist felt as if he were listening to a jet engine warming up in stereophonic sound. He soon realized that Trower knew exactly what he was doing and had his unruly instrument under control. The music was too strange to decide whether he liked it, but he recognized talent when he heard it. Ultimately he decided Trower's type of music was too strong for his blood, and was "zorch" - that is, strange and marvelous.
