For more evidence of how screwed up the record industry in America is,
take the case of
Masters of Reality.
Arguably one of the finest American rock bands to appear in the last
twenty years, they don't have a record deal in their own country anymore.
Their albums come out in Europe but if you want to buy their CDs in
the United States, you can either
order them as imports
or you can go to
the band's online store.
What do they sound like?
Hard to say, really, as they don't fit neatly into any category.
The first time I heard them I thought they sounded like a cross between
Deep Purple and The Doors.
That might not make any sense and I don't know if it's accurate but
it should give you an idea of their range.
The band these days is frontman
Chris Goss,
best known lately as a producer
(Queens of the Stone Age,
Auf der Maur),
and whoever he decides to have on an album.
I have been listening to them since 1988 and they have never disappointed me,
either on CD or live.
They keep the streak going with their latest album,
Give Us Barabas.
For longtime fans, Googe is back on bass and
Ginger Baker
even makes an appearance on one song.
Give a listen to
Jindalee Jindalie,
Brown House on the Green Road,
and the playful
Off to Tiki Ti.
See if you can figure out simple box to put them in.
Good luck.
