Composer, cornetist, electronic & acoustic sound specialist and musical director Rob Mazurek leads his largest regular ensemble, the Exploding Star Orchestra through one of his most ambitious recordings. While Galactic Parables: Volume 1 is a self-contained cosmos, marked by colliding melodic lines and startlingly beautiful passages, as the title indicates, it's part of a larger work. Ever since Exploding Star Orchestra's debut recording, Mazurek has been gradually building an epic science fiction opera inspired by the writings of Samuel R. Delany and Stanislaw Lem. With Galactic Parables his vast speculative realm is coming more clearly into focus with an apocalyptic vision of alternate universes, machine reproduction run amuck, and the colonization of distant planets. Galactic Parables "is the first record where we're getting close to hitting on the libretto for this future opera, " says Mazurek, who by both inclination and geography is linked to a constellation of Chicago avant-garde pioneers. Ultimately what makes the record so enthralling on both the flight into the cosmos and the return journey is that the Exploding Star Orchestra brings together a creatively charged cast of improvisers: Recorded live at the Sant'Anna Arresi Jazz Festival 2013 "Ai Confini tra Sardegna e Jazz" on August 28, 2013 and Recorded live at the Chicago Cultural Center on October 18, 2013 by Ken Christianson, assisted by Deundeun Cho.

Squeaky Spiky Ball (Submitted by OG, The Conqueror)
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
FIVE OUT OF FIVE PAWS. THIS IS THE GREATEST BALL EVER MADE.
My name is OG, and I am a machine built for destruction. For years, I have systematically dismantled every supposed "heavy-duty" toy that dared cross my path. They all fail. They all surrender. But this Spiky Ball? This is my worthy adversary. This is The One.
If you have mighty jaws like mine, this isn’t just a toy—it’s a commitment.
The Aesthetics & Grip (5/5 Jaws)
This ball is bright orange. This is important because it means my Dog-Parent cannot pretend they don't see it when I drop it, covered in drool, directly on their laptop.
The spikes are the best part. They are not soft and pointless like some other toys. These spikes dig right into my gums. It's the perfect texture for a serious, focused chew session. Whether I'm running full-speed or we are locked in a heavy-duty Tug-of-War, those spikes give me the grip I need to apply maximum rotational torque. This ball never slips. It demands I bring my A-game.
The Squeak: My Personal Battle Horn (5/5 Ears)
The volume on this thing is set to LEGENDARY.
They say a quiet dog is a happy dog. WRONG. A loud dog is an active, conquering dog. The squeak is sharp, loud, and glorious. It's not a gentle little peep—it's a declaration. When I hear it, I know the hunt is on. More importantly, when I make it squeak, the humans instantly know I require attention, praise, or the immediate launch of the ball across the yard. It is the best attention-getter I own.
Durability: Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object (5/5 Eternal Glory)
This ball is a mystery. It has no discernible weaknesses.
I have performed the full Pitbull Destruction Protocol on this Spiky Ball every day for weeks:
The Gnaw: Prolonged, focused effort to crack the surface—(Failure. It laughs.)
The Shake: Head-whipping force designed to dislocate any internal components—(Failure. The squeak remains.)
The Backyard Abandonment: Left in the rain and dirt for maximum entropy—(Failure. Still orange.)
Most toys are a snack. This toy is a lifetime project. It truly is built for aggressive chewers, and I respect that. It is the only toy that challenges me.
Recommendation
If your dog is serious about their job (chewing, fetching, and being loud), you must buy this. It is the only thing that stands up to my power. It’s loud, it’s spiky, and it’s the best. Go buy it now, and tell them OG sent you.
OG, currently performing a full-body gnaw and shake, signing off.

Excellent product
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
Our service dog Max (named after Max Muncy 3rd baseman for the Dodgers) lives these balls. They are a sturdy product. Just what we needed for our Max.

Best squeaky ball for the buck!!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
my 90lb Pit, LOVES these balls.. and they have been lasting for months!! The squeaker is ok, those are lasting a week or two.. but that's better than average for my guy. At $4 a ball in the 4 pack, it's a great deal for a dog that loves a new toy every month .. I give him one at a time, the 4 pack lasts for many months of fun.
