Resonator Elevator Driver Undecided Waiting For The Big One Love Is Wars or Hands of Time The Boy From The Stars 5:10 Man Think About Tomorrow Today Our Kingdom Gone Living In A Child's Dream Because I Love You Turn Up Your Radio Can't Find My Way Home This Song |
This is the best of the Masters and Jim's solo work all on one CD. The whole thing was recorded in just over a week. The band sound like they're having a great time. The music really swings with a tight rhythm section. The music has a wonderful live feel about it and is a more cohesive recording than other best of Masters collections which cover such a range of styles. The music is great but Jim's voice has matured and is deeper and more sonorous than his early work. He breathes new life into some classic tracks and takes the listener on a wonderful journey through his musical history.

Pressure Makes Diamonds
Waiting For The Big One Bridges This Song Somebody Loves You Broken Promises Sleeping Giant All Your Love Some Call It Love When The Ring Is Broken Pressure Makes Diamonds |
Jim had these songs written, but had no record deal. By borrowing equipment
and friend's time he recorded them everywhere from lounge rooms to backyard
studios. Jim did the whole CD from conception to the completion .
His idea was to "flog them off at gigs". The finished product was so good that BMG Australia picked it up, re-designed the cover and released it to rave reviews, even being hailed as album of the year by one critic. |

Red On The Meter
Lucifer Street All Locked Up Do You Think You Can Make It Car Radio Counting On You Little Murders Escape The Eighties Living Dead Ambition |
Admirable, if not particularly adventurous, set containing several
energetic tunes in All Locked Up, Little Murders and Living Dead. Lucifer Street was released as a single, but without a band to aid in promotion the single and the album sank without a trace.

The Boy from the Stars
The Boy From the Stars Take It On Easy Nothing Much Left Space Brothers Alchemical Takeover Urantia Kids Blues The Right Way To Go Reason To Be Living |
A ambitious concept album using the cream of Australian musicians. A collectors item today. Re-released on CD as a 25th anniversary celebration. The album's science fiction theme tells the story of a visitor from another planet who tries to warn the earth of impending doom through the misuse of various sources of power. Jim wrote most of the music and all of the lyrics, assumed the role of Boy From The Stars and is the commentator on the action. |
