Master Cylinder ~ USA ~ Fort Worth, Texas


Elsewhere (1981)

Not much is known about this Fort Worth based jazz rock group (even though they're from my neck of the woods, their album wasn't exactly a staple of local jazz or rock radio). On the usually soulless Inner City label, Master Cylinder was anything but that. Their album has a strong melodic sense, and it seems the group must have been informed by the Canterbury groups like early Soft Machine or National Health, as well as the DC based Happy the Man. While ostensibly a jazz album, it's these rock elements that bring Master Cylinder to the next level. A very good album that time has forgot.

Ownership: 1981 Inner City (LP) 

Not reissued as of 2/22/25.

2008 (review); 9/30/17 (new entry)
