Universe was a Welsh rock band formed in the late 1960s, marrying progressive and blues musical elements with a powerful sound. Initially playing under the name Deep Blue Centre, then Spoonfull, they rehearsed a set that included covers and originals influenced by acts like Cream, John Mayall, and Jimi Hendrix. By 1970, they had become Universe, the name reflecting the expansive ambition of their evolving music. In 1971, the band recorded an album and a single, both self-titled, in Norway; these recordings later became prized finds among collectors. Though Universe's time was brief, their music endures as a fascinating chapter of the underground rock scene in Wales. With guitarist Steve Finn's ongoing solo work and the reissue of their recordings, Universe holds a unique place in early 1970s rock history.
