It pulls together everything that is glorious and important about AOR and distills it sublimely.  It was as if the Elefante’s were on a dangerous and relentless search of pure melodic rock perfection, and somehow, someway they found it with Lofcaudio. It’s rare that both critics and fans adore a band and an album this much. So get this 2020 Girder Records reissue of an album that captures lightning in a bottle, and enjoy the remastered and reloaded versions. Grab your air guitar, your air mic, sing these songs at the top-of-your-lungs with reckless abandon and be one more guest musician to make top-shelf music with Mastedon!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoliest One 4:50\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife On The Line 4:25\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun To The Water 4:30\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen It All Comes Down 4:30\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaken Down Below 4:33\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStampede 2:27\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiving For You 4:16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThief In The Night 2:47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople Of This Time 4:54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Is Done 3:43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text__text--large rte-setting text-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Mastedon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31857620582503,"sku":"B5 (OS-H4)","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/products\/Mastedon_Lofcaudio_CD_1024x1024_14fe07c1-8e1c-4da0-b02d-842dee92a6fe.png?v=1583727230"},{"product_id":"its-a-jungle-out-there-gold-disc-cd","title":"Mastedon - It's a Jungle Out There (GOLD DISC CD)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eElite Gold Disc CD #1\u003cbr\u003e(Flip the Booklet Over for the Original Full Cover)\u003cbr\u003e3 Bonus Tracks Wasn't It Love + 2 Live Tracks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered by John Elefante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes 3 BONUS TRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_B4shvE_p0Y\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT GOLD DISC\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe advantage of the gold reflection layer is its increased resistance to corrosion, in contrast to the ordinary aluminum layer found on normal compact discs.

But, Dumbo wasn’t your average elephant and used those massive ears for wings and he could fly! Fast-forward to 1989, when John and Dino Elefante formed the rock band Mastedon and showed the world that Dumbo wasn’t the only elephant who could fly! With larger-than-life melodic hooks and a steady stream of hard rock heroics the band’s debut album, It’s a Jungle Out There!” took flight and AOR fans could not get enough. Owning Pakaderm Records, running a recording\/producing studio, and working with bands like Bride, Petra, The Brave, Barren Cross, Guardian and more, the ex-Kansas duo had a revolving door of rock music stars around at any given time. Not a band as such since it's very much musicians who were around the studio laying down a vocal, guitar lick, drum solo, etc. The band’s second album literally says, \"Thanks to all the mystery guests whose names we are unable to list due to the usual legal entanglement.\" The brothers approached Mastedon as a project. With a total of five lead vocalists participating on the debut in addition to three drummers, four bassists and three guitarists, it remained a project in the truest sense of the word. The most easily recognized names include vocalists Dave Robbins (X-Sinner), Dave Amato (Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon), David Pack (Ambrosia) and Perry Lee (Tracer Fox), guitarists Steff Burns (Y\u0026amp;T) and Dave Amato and bassists John Pierce (Richard Marx) and John Patitucci. John (lead vocals \u0026amp; keyboards) and Dino (rhythm guitar \u0026amp; bass) lend their abilities to the album as well. The album flexes its muscles in places (such as on “It’s A Jungle Out There” and “Love Inhalation”) but otherwise it delivers a commercial based sound perfectly suited for FM radio (“Glory Bound,” “This Is The Day” and “Love That Will Survive”). You will also find a couple of elite ballads, along with a progressive piece, “Right Hand.” The crown jewel of the album might be the big-budget-like sonics, compliments of John and Dino. The result is pure, unadulterated AOR perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s A Jungle Out There 3:54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlory Bound 4:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is The Day 4:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Inhalation 4:39\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslands In The Sky 3:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Up 4:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove That Will Survive 4:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnocent Girl 3:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShine On 4:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight Hand 6:05\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBONUS TRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWasn't It Love (from the California Metal Compilation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslands In the Sky (Live at Cornerstone '91)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight Hand (Live at Cornerstone '91)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text__text--large rte-setting text-center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Mastedon","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53114949468460,"sku":"165","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/products\/Mastedon_Jungle_CD_1024x1024_069b9904-48dc-4fa1-9918-3d3de946e824.png?v=1583727226"},{"product_id":"mastedon-3-cd-john-elefante-kerry-livgren-of-kansas","title":"Mastedon - 3 (CD) John Elefante \u0026 Kerry Livgren of Kansas, Ltd.

In record mastering, the higher the recorded level and frequency, the greater the groove curvature. Curvature isn’t usually a problem, per se, on the outside of a 12” 33 1\/3 record, but as the groove moves toward the center, its relative speed slows down and curvature increases. The result is actually a loss in high frequencies, and increase in distortion as the groove moves to the center. BUT, if we spin the disk at 45rpm we now have a 35% increase in groove velocity at any point on the disk. This is a huge advantage! Yes, the groove still slows down as it moves inward, but the effects are greatly reduced. 45rpm will give you the absolute clearest quality possible and this is something we really wanted for Mastedon 3. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4ddoq-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4ddoq-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike so many bands Mastedon have used the same blueprint that made them popular in the first place to base their new music on.

In record mastering, the higher the recorded level and frequency, the greater the groove curvature. Curvature isn’t usually a problem, per se, on the outside of a 12” 33 1\/3 record, but as the groove moves toward the center, its relative speed slows down and curvature increases. The result is actually a loss in high frequencies, and increase in distortion as the groove moves to the center. BUT, if we spin the disk at 45rpm we now have a 35% increase in groove velocity at any point on the disk. This is a huge advantage! Yes, the groove still slows down as it moves inward, but the effects are greatly reduced. 45rpm will give you the absolute clearest quality possible and this is something we really wanted for Mastedon 3. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4ddoq-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4ddoq-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike so many bands Mastedon have used the same blueprint that made them popular in the first place to base their new music on.

In record mastering, the higher the recorded level and frequency, the greater the groove curvature. Curvature isn’t usually a problem, per se, on the outside of a 12” 33 1\/3 record, but as the groove moves toward the center, its relative speed slows down and curvature increases. The result is actually a loss in high frequencies, and increase in distortion as the groove moves to the center. BUT, if we spin the disk at 45rpm we now have a 35% increase in groove velocity at any point on the disk. This is a huge advantage! Yes, the groove still slows down as it moves inward, but the effects are greatly reduced. 45rpm will give you the absolute clearest quality possible and this is something we really wanted for Mastedon 3. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4ddoq-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"4ddoq-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike so many bands Mastedon have used the same blueprint that made them popular in the first place to base their new music on.

If you are a fan of Christian Rock, you know exactly what this is.  This regrouping of Mastedon has put together the most cohesive Mastedon project to date.
