MASTERS OF THE AIRWAVES

70s, era of various obscure bands, one of them being "Masters of the Airwaves". Partly distorted sound, partly melodic, MotA are closing The Beatles sound a little bit (in a way Klaatu does, but worse). There is even possibility of some kind of fun factor (jokes, puns), but I'm not that sure about it. Expect some Hard Rock pieces as well, all of them closing to more mainstream version of Prog than you're probably used to. However, in little aspects, these short songs (2:30-6:00 minutes). Nothing that great here and so this album ranges on the verge of "collectors" and "enjoyable"

3(-), forgotten record, partially justified by band not offering anything new.

Masters Of The Airwaves? I think not.

In 1974, bands like Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, and the like were filling arenas and getting airplay. So it was natural for the record companies to look for progressively minded bands to fill their rosters. Enter Masters Of The Airwaves.

Their album, probably their only album is basically generic seventies style arena rock, with slightly (very slightly) inventive breaks. The lyrics are fairly dull and singer Jonathon Fredrick Boring (ironic? is Jon Flak a much better name?) is shrill to the point of making the album hard to listen to.

And have they ever been played on the radio?
