THE MASTER'S APPRENTICES
One could easily make the case for designating the Masters Apprentices as the best
Australian rock band of the '60s. Featuring singer Jim Keays and songwriter/rhythm
guitarist Mick Bower, the band's earliest recordings combined the gritty R&B/rock
of Brits like the Pretty Things with the minor-key melodies of the Yardbirds.
The compelling "Wars or Hands of Time" and the dreamy psychedelia of
"Living in a Child's Dream" were undiscovered classics, although the latter was a
Top Ten hit in Australia. Bower left the group after suffering a nervous breakdown
in late 1967, and the Masters grew steadily less interesting, moving from flower pop
and hard rock to progressive and acoustic sounds. Plagued by instability (undergoing
eight personnel changes between 1966 and 1968), the group moved
to England in the early '70s, achieving some cult success
with progressive rock albums before breaking up in 1972

The Masters Apprentices had changed a lot in both personnel and style by the time they issued their second LP, two and a half years after their first. It's a respectable but oddly schizophrenic effort, finding them searching for an identity with competent forays into hard rock, early progressive rock, and poppy folk-rock, with orchestral instrumental links between many of the tracks...(AllMusic)price rating
