The C.A. Quintet

The C.A. Quintet’s journey to Hades burned hot enough to melt the ice in their frigid Minnesota environs. A coveted collectible since the psychedelic record collecting disaster whirl first started, Trip Thru Hell (1968) is rightly regarded as the epitome of local psych-cum-garage rising above its humble roots into&nbsp;something truly monolithic.

Evolving from the local circuit into a hellish beast ofkeyboards, lysergic lyrics, trippy guitars and even subtletrumpet parts, the C.A. Quintet’s vision of the netherworldglowed in flaming orange, red and yellow as their instinctstook over. Kicking off with the chilling psychedelicizedkeyboard-led instrumental title track, the album singes the psyche of the listener with an array of atmospheric fuzz on “Colorado Mourning,” sitar-like solos intertwining with fuzz and horns on “Underground Music,” and the more benevolent Lucifer on “Smooth As Silk,” which swirls with keys and harmony vocals to underscore a brilliant melody. Mortals dare not venture to the sinister realm of the “Cold Spider” and especially not “Sleepy Hollow Lane,” a mistier place than even the Chocolate Watchband could dream of visiting.
