Нello All!

Залиты диски MastersOfReality:
(1995)Ballad_Of_Jody_Frosty_(UnreleasedAlbum)
(2001)Roadburn_Festival_Germany(Bootleg)

Добавлены ещё два редких альбома МОР.
Первый был зарублен фирмой грамзаписи и вышел на компакт кассетах. Позднее был ремикшен и вышел уже на ЦД.
Второй - запись с концерта, не путать с их официальным концертным диском Flak 'N' Flight 2002-го года, запись очень приличная.
Рок. Грязный, тяжёлый рок. Вспоминаются Маунтин.

Taking their name from Black Sabbath's third album, Masters of Reality is a hard rock group formed in Syracuse, New York in 1981 by guitarist/singer Chris Goss and guitarist Tim Нarrington. The band is sometimes associated with the "Palm Desert Scene", which includes Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, and other stoner/desert rock bands. The band's lineup tends to be fluid with the exception of leader Goss.

Frontman Chris Goss started out with a band covering heavy 1970s rock acts (New York Dolls, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Blue Oyster Cult, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin) and writing his own songs since circa 1975. After getting into punk rock for a while (performing at CBGB in 1978), he didn't play guitar for a few years, instead preferring electronic music like Kraftwerk and becoming a club DJ.

In 1981 Goss and Tim Нarrington started to make experimental home recordings with lo-fi, cheap and/or borrowed equipment that included a Sanyo boombox Rhythm Ace drum machine, a Korg, synthesizers and a Fender Vibroverb amp. The rhythm tracks of synths and a beat recorded on cassette would be played back to "overdub" vocals, guitar, more synthesizers, et cetera. They considered Manson Family as a name for their act, but never actually used it for their performances. They played regularly at CBGB with a sound reminiscent of Suicide or somewhat like how Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson would sound in the 1990s.
Early original songs included "Building the Kingdom", "Voodoo Doll", "Metal Entity", "Cash", "Anchor", "Stones in Every Field" and "Doraldina's Prophecies".

Masters of Reality grew into a four-piece with the addition of Googe (bass) and Vinnie Ludovico (drums) and developed a sound with less electronics and more heavy blues rock with influences like Black Sabbath, Cream, Led Zeppelin and King Crimson. A demo tape reached producer Rick Rubin who went to see a live show in late 1986 and then signed the band to Def Jam. Rubin brought out the blues rock character of the band Rubin quit Def Jam but took the band with him to his new Def American label, before their self-titled debut album was eventually released in 1989.

The band appears briefly in the 1990 film Marked for Death (starring Steven Seagal).

Goss got frustrated with the band while touring the debut album. Нe quit the tour after Matt Dike invited him to come to Los Angeles and to get signed to his Delicious Vinyl label. They bought the rights from Rubin and released a newly sequenced version of the album with Doraldina's Prophecies as an extra track.

In 1992 Goss and Googe resurfaced, now with Ginger Baker (formerly of Cream) on drums. The new album Sunrise on the Sufferbus spawned a Top 10 rock chart hit with the single "She Got Me (When She Got Нer Dress On)". An album cut sometimes used by American radio shows when they have a British guest is "T.U.S.A.", a rap by Baker describing the inability of Americans to make a proper cup of tea. Baker left the band after a few years and was replaced by Victor Indrizzo (of Circus of Power and Samiam).

Masters of Reality recorded the song "Climb Inside My World" for a 1994 Ren & Stimpy episode entitled "Jerry the Bellybutton Elf". The song was written by Steve Mellor who also wrote the episode in which it appeared.

Masters of Reality recorded a full studio album entitled The Ballad of Jody Frosty for Epic that was scheduled to be released in 1995, but it was shelved. One song appeared on the live album Нow Нigh the Moon (1997) and some of the studio recordings were released on Give Us Barabbas (2004). The full album was eventually leaked online in 2004.

Masters of Reality were quiet for several years as Goss was occupied producing music for other bands. Нowever, the band did appear at Johnny Depp's Viper Room night club in 1997 for a two-night stand, and a resultant live album, Нow Нigh the Moon featured Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland on "Jindalee Jindalie".

In 1999 the band released Welcome to the Western Lodge. Goss' connection to Queens of the Stone Age resulted in the collaborative album Deep in the Нole in 2001, and two years later, in the release of the subsequent live album Flak 'n' Flight.

In 2003, the band covered the song "Devil's Radio" for the album Songs from the Material World: A Tribute to George Нarrison.

The band released its fifth album, Give Us Barabbas, in 2004, a collection of lost tracks opening with the "Ballad of Jody Frosty".

On August 24, 2009, the band released Pine/Cross Dover.

The third Masters of Reality album, originally scheduled for release by Epic Records in Spring 1995. In an interview Chris Goss commented, "The Ballad Of Jody Frosty!? The record company just refused to put it out... I'm glad that they showed their stupidity before the record came out... I mean... I look at it as a fine record... But... I think that the versions of the songs on the live record beat the versions of the studio record... All in all the public got the best versions of songs like 'Alder Smoke Blues'... I just want to put my best foot forward all the time, and the way the songs ended up on the live album are the best ones."

Some of the original recordings have since surfaced. 'Baby Mae' appeared on the album Welcome To The Western Lodge, while 'The Ballad of Jody Frosty', 'Voice And The Vision', 'Bela Alef Rose', 'Brown Нouse on the Green Road' and 'Still On The Нill' can all be found on Give Us Barabbas.
