"Looking like a horror show of electrodes and wires, Kurt Coble's orchestra challenges the definition of music."
- J. Clyde Willis (Stamford Advocate)


"[The late composer Earle] Brown's spirit lives on in the wonderful,
room-size "robot jukebox" - a kind of musical Rube Goldberg contraption
that plays a pre-programmed concert on wacky mechanized instruments
by the artist, musician and composer Kurt Coble"

Helen A. Harrison (New York Times)
