VOLUME ONE

Mastermind are a three peice band that wear their ELP and Rush influences on their sleeve.'War Child' has more that the occassional echo of 'Rondo' (ELP/Nice) but they also do a some decent AOR ish stuff as well with 'Long Distant Love Affair'.The music here is generally heavier than ELP but not as powerfull as Rush.I'm not sure who I can really recommend it to.ELP fans will find the ELP musical references interesting but ultimately it isn't ELP, while Rush fans will prefer music with more 'oomph' I suspect.
