UK rock magazine MoJo featured a piece recently on the ’60s Connecticut band Pulse and the reissue of its self-titled album, which includes 17 bonus tracks. It is on Mascot Records licensed by Poison Ring.
The article makes note of the many tracks that have appeared in popular TV shows, broadccast and cable, from NBC to HBO Max.
Here is the link:
This Pulse tune is featured tonight in the first episode of the AMC series Lucky Hank. The track is all Peter, with the exception of the high harmony, which is me. It was originally recorded for the second Pulse album.
My song Another Woman from the Pulse album appeared in Season 7, episode 6 of the CW series The Flash during 2021. Short but sweet.

N.O.S. Back In Time is my latest album, available on all streaming services, CDBaby, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and many others. It’s a collection of songs I’ve written and sung lead on (save one) with several groups I’ve played with and solo. Tracks included were recorded with the groups Napi Browne, Island and Pulse. There are two solo tracks on which I play everything (except for Drum Drops, remember those) and a Napi Browne rehearsal tape, which although is a cut below the rest in sound quality is a smokin’ track with a live feel. Recorded with a JVC Binaural cassette deck, with no reverb or delay, the quality is actually quite good.
The track I don’t sing lead on is from my first album with the band Pulse, Another Woman, which is sung by the great Carl Donnell (Augusto). Another Woman is one of the first songs I had written for the band and was recorded at Syncron Sound in Wallingford, CT, now Trod Nossel. The Napi Browne tapes come from two sessions, one in Woodstock at Bearsville Studios, and one in Bridgeport at Paul Leka’s studio. One Napi track was recorded in a home studio. The Island material was recorded at the now defunct studio Blue Rock in Soho, New York City.

The best way to find the album on any of the above listed services is by simply searching on my name Paul Rosano. The player below gives a sample of all the tracks.
When Pulse was finally finished at the end of 1970, three of the members moved to Manhattan, Beau Segal, Peter Neri and Paul Rosano. We started writing in a slightly different direction from the original blues-oriented Pulse and the quartet that followed. It’s more of a pop direction but there are elements of rock, country rock and blues, jazz and even yes Island music. We recorded these tracks at Blue Rock and Capitol and signed a publishing deal with Sam Gordon through the Grossman-Glotzer management office. Sam set up the studio time and was really quite supportive. He even managed to get Todd Rundgren to come down to Blue Rock and help us produce three of the tunes in this collection. It was a cool ride. You can purchase this album or individual tracks at CD Baby.
The Pulse album has been released at CDBaby.com, remastered with six bonus tracks and new cover art. The bonus tracks were intended for the group’s second album. Enjoy!
