One great song and..........2007-04-08

I remember (with warm feelings) the Orange County Teen Club dances of my youth.

One of my favorite songs from those dances was "One Fine Morning" by the group Lighthouse.

You remember those days, Rare Earth, Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago... etc, when actual bands played dances and actually had horn sections... I was so nostalgic, that I bought this album thinking that I only remember one song, but it should all be good.

Oops!

One good song, mediocre reproduction and a bunch of stuff I didn't bother to copy into my 70's folder of music on my computer.
Nostalgia can be sweet, but if you want this song, you are better off to pay for a single song download.

Worst sound quality I've ever heard on a CD.......2007-01-10

OMG...
What a crappy audio remix! Sounds like my decades old worn out 8-Track tape with the treble turned off and a bass that must have come from another band. I am sick. The only thing available from a great group and I get this. The selection of the songs is not too bad, but the sound quality is so poor that I am about ready to toss it in the trash and get out my worn - but still much better than this - LPs. Please, can someone reissue this with quality sound?
I give it a 3 (5 for the great band and songs and 1 for sound quality)
A good quality LP recorded directly onto CD would have been 10 times better. Too bad we can't get the early RCA LPs too.

Poorly Mixed/Engineered - They Ruined It.......2006-08-15

I give the CD 3 stars simply because I love "One Fine Morning," but I have to agree with Bill Larkin, the guy who submitted his review on July 23, 2006. The remix is in large part a disaster. The intro to the song sounds nothing like it did on the original vinyl release; it sounds like it was recorded using a cheap cassette recorder in someone's garage. The ride cymbal is muted as though a blanket was thrown over it. The driving rhythm guitar is also muted, lacking the sharp, punctuating sound on the original recording. The solo piano in the middle of the song sounds like it was recorded in another room. To the people who engineered this song: IT'S A SOLO - IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FEATURED, NOT PUT INTO ANOTHER ROOM!!! Overall, the remix of One Fine Morning sounds like it was done by a bunch of kindergarten kids exposed to a mixing board for the first time. It is just all out of balance and that is very disappointing for those of us who bought this cd in large part because we wanted to hear One Fine Morning again. I had read Mr. Larkin's review prior to purchasing this album but I was hoping that he was wrong. Unfortunately he was right on the money. For some reason they didn't ruin the other songs, though. "Pretty Lady," the other song I wanted, sounds like it did on the original vinyl. Why they had to mess with One Fine Moring and ruin it like they did is a tragedy.

Ok, I am writing this two months later. I thought perhaps my memory wasn't serving me right, but today I listened to the original mix of One Fine Morning from the original LP and my memory is fine. Unfortunately the remastered version IS NOT. It stinks! They totally ruined it, throwing it all out of balance and taking away the electric feel of the original mix. The remastered one on this album sounds like they found bits and pieces of the separate instrument tracks and just threw them together without any regard for what the song as a whole should sound like. For those of you who remember what the original mix sounded like, you will know exactly what I am talking about when you listen to this disgusting poor excuse for a remaster. Poor Lighthouse. Note: my acerbic comments apply only to One Fine Morning. To the deaf souls who did the remaster - couldn't you have had mercy on us and chosen another track to ruin instead????

One Really Bad Morning.......2006-07-24

The backcover touts "Digtally Remixed". Above it says "from the original tapes". The CD credits "re-mixing engineered by Frank Marrone and Robert Hanson". The CD goes on to credit "re-mixing produced by Paul Hoffert, Ralph Cole, Skip Prokop, and Bob McBride". They should all quit the recording business immediately and find other work.

If you are like me, you look for quality re-releases of older material. Since there are 16 tracks on this one, it caught my eye. Particularly for the 70's hit "One Fine Morning". I figured the existing releases currently available of that track were not that bad, but it could always be improved upon with today's technology.

Not by these guys. They have to be deaf. Or they let the wrong take get on the final CD. Or they were hung-over when they re-mixed "One Fine Morning". If they want to continue working in the recording industry, they should get the label to quickly re-call this disaster and get it right and then re-release it. It's that bad.

As someone else here already noted, the bass track sounds different than the original. But that, is the least of the problems. The string section sounds like it was in the parking lot. The electric piano solo sounds like it was in the next room. The cymbals have no high-end at all. The lead guitar solo sounds like it was recorded in a 55-gallon drum. The horns and the vocal come out on top (as they should) but when the rest is in the mud, it's horrible.

This is a real shame. Especially when you spend your hard-earned money only to find out that the one track you really wanted should be used as a prime example of how NOT to re-mix music. If "One Fine Morning" was want you wanted from this CD, save your money.

If the other 15 tracks is what you wanted, amazingly, they are ok.

one of my favorite bands ever........2006-06-04

i just really love lighthouse. a horn + strings +etc. band that sounds brighter than chicago and more fun than blood sweat & tears. i wish more of their stuff was on cd, i only have this, my aunt's "can you feel it" on record, and the newish one from the 90's, song of the ages.

i especially like one fine morning, the songs from can you feel it (can you feel it, magic's in the dancing, pretty lady), hats off to the stranger, and little kind words. around the middle isn't too special to me, but it's still good.

you should also look at "song of the ages". the whole album is terrible, but if you're not too cheap then the last song, time tides, is worth the price of the whole thing. more really, but don't tell anyone or they'll raise the price :P

Album Description

Music for Productivity incorporates proven psychoacoustic techniques to revitalize and renew. Using a great variety of tempos to stimulate the nervous system, the process of sonic isometrics is widely employed. Simple/complex melodic arrangements alternate while changing rhythmic pulses subtly produce a tension/release cycle. These ear-robics are designed for a cerebral work-out. This music is lively in pace and feels great!

Worth the hype?.......2004-07-23

I found that this makes a great background CD. Instead of having the radio on and being distracted by the lyrics or the commercials, use this CD.

I wouldn't buy this CD if you hope to improve your productivity. Because it won't. Use it as background music for a less distracting environment.

Bob Belden's orchestral album Black Dahlia was a cinematic work in search of a film. The songs on Three Days of Rain were written for a recent movie of that name starring Peter Falk but have the feel of a classic jazz session. In both cases, there is plenty of atmosphere to absorb, with lyrical commentary from standout soloists including tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano and pianist Marc Copland. Inspired by the stories of Chekhov, Three Days of Rain tells the stories of a half-dozen contemporary characters struggling to get by in Cleveland. The music ranges from rainy-day pieces with a bluesy Miles Davis feel (Scott Wendholt is featured on trumpet) to soulfully swinging hard bop tunes featuring Ronnie Jordan or Al Street on guitar. It's a reflection of Belden's skills as a composer that the music hangs together even though two different rhythm sections are employed (pianist Kevin Hays' alternates with Copland's) and that, though the songs will gain in meaning from a viewing of the film, the album stands alone perfectly well. Two unaccompanied performances are noteworthy: Lovano's modernistic clarinet musings on "Panic" and Jason Moran's elegant, expansive piano solo to close this aural production. --Lloyd Sachs

Customer Reviews:

I'm surprised I'm the first one to review this great disc.......2007-03-15

Certainly one of the three greatest movie soundtracks ever recorded (the other two being, in my humble opinion, The Year of Living Dangerously and The Mission), this music stands on its own as a noir-ish suite of great poignancy and beauty. I'm especially taken by the wistful playing of Joe Lovano, who's always had a way with ballads, but here ups the ante to the stratosphere, especially on the main theme, trading lines with Scott Wendholt who also shines brightly.

Featuring some of the finest players in jazz (the greatly underregarded Kevin Hayes on piano; Dwayne Burno, another neglected great, on bass; Joe Chambers, still another player deserving wider recognition, on drums; young legend Jason Moran on piano, and others), this disc contains various combinations of rhythm and lead players in solo, trio, quartet, quintet, and sextet settings. That music containing 11 different artists in widely varied contexts could all hang together so seamlessly attests to composer Belden's clarity of vision and genius in picking like-minded players as well as their ability to translate his ideas into gloriously heartfelt playing.

I'm entirely taken by the mood of triumph in the face of down-and-out circumstances that pervades this disc. Special kudos goes to Kevin Hayes for rendering passages of great precision and soulfulness--probably the finest music he's ever put on disc.

Very much worth acquiring.

Missed for a long time!.......2004-04-01

I originally ordered "The Best of Lighthouse Sunny Days again" because I missed the music! (Blood, Sweat & Tears & Early Chicago Sound) Unfortunatly, my two favorte all time Lighthouse songs where missing from this collection. So, when "Sunny Days" came out at what seemed at the time a high price, I ordered "Sunny Days" the CD of the original album. I did this so that I would be able to listen to "Beneath My Women" and "Merlin". These are my favorite all time Lighthouse songs. Was it worth the price? You bet!!!!! Life is too short to miss things that money can buy!

Early recordings from a great musician.......2004-01-28

These recordings let us listen to the young Michel Petrucciani, when he was with OWL Records (1981-85). During this period - starting when he was only 19 years old! - he made 6 CDs. This compilation contains excerpts from all six.

You hear an already technically excellent piano player - mainly playing solo except for cd2/#4 (w. Lee Konitz, alto.sax), CD1/#5 & 8 (w. Ron McClure, bass) and CD1/#1 & CD2/#1 (w. J.F.Jenny Clark, bass & Aldo Romano, dr.).

There is a lot of good music here - and a wise selection of the young Petrucciani playing both his own tunes and some written by others. Among the best are "Amalgame" and "It's what I am doing when I miss you" (both from Oracle's Destiny" and "I just say hello" (from "Cold Blues").

Most of the tunes have a bright and optimistic atmosphere in a slow to medium tempo. Not as "deep" as you'll find on his latest recordings - but it's good, genuine jazz, loyal to the root of the music. The young Petrucciani heard here knows his stuff, plays it well - and even though some of the recording are 20+ years, they're definitely still worth listening to.

A fine CD-set to start listening to Michel Petrucciani - or to catch up with the early MP.

PS: If you're going for "the full Monty/Mike", the 6 CDs from the OWL-years are:
"Michel Petrucciani" - w. Clark & Romano (OWL 025CD), Recorded April 1981 (****).
"Date with Time" - solo piano (OWL 064CD), Recorded December 1981, released 1991 (***)
"Toot Sweet" - w. Lee Konitz (OWL 028CD), Recorded May 1982 (****)
"Oracles Destiny" - solo piano (OWL 032CD), Recorded October 1982 (*****)
"Note n'Notes" - solo piano (OWL 037CD), Recorded October 1984 (****)
"Cold Blues" - w. McClure (OWL 042CD), Recorded January 1985, (****(*))
