Terrific, happy, upbeat jazzy pieces here. I love this CD!!

I highly recommend this collection of music. Zuma Beach is my favorite. Do yourself a favor and add this to whatever music collection you have. It's GREAT !!!
Smooth and Upbeat.......2001-12-24
Very nice collection of smooth, upbeat, instrumental music. I enjoyed every tune on the disc - quite a bit different than run-of-the-mill "light" jazz. Check out Shilts and Natural High while you're out for a weekend drive. Enjoy!

A Master Class in Acoustic Guitar Technique.......2006-06-27
Every so often the electric gods of fusion's past would unplug their axes and explore the pure unadorned beauty of the acoustic guitar. When McLaughlin meditated on My Goal's Beyond and Dimeola navigated Chick Corea's "No Mystery," we discovered that these guys were much more than mere overamped wankers. Frank Gambale established his credentials in Chick's late `80s Elektric Band, coming out of that experience renowned as a guitarist's guitarist. But this is his first all-acoustic outing, and it's the most intriguing session in his discography. Employing a drummerless guitar-piano-bass trio with occasional percussion, Gambale proves he's got the goods even when he's not cranked up to 10. Even more impressive than the players' chops is the sheer musicality of the proceedings. Constructing several of the original tunes on the chord changes of time-tested standards, the Gambale gang infuses their music with good humor and hot licks, showing how to generate electricity without plugging in. --Jim Newsom

Really wonderful stuff !.......2006-04-09
I was kind of anxious before downloading this on FG's site : what kind of jazz is possible without drums ? Well, I was deeply wrong. Otmaro Ruiz' classical but nevertheless exciting jazz piano style and Gambale's chops on acoustic guitar match perfectly. Alain Caron brings a nice touch to the ensemble. This album doesn't break any new ground, but it's extremely refreshing to hear so much acoustic tone, which doesn't sacrifice to the technical skills of Mr Sweeping: this jem just brings you back alive. I'm thinking about buying the real CD now.
Just When You'd Thought You'd Heard It All.......2006-04-01
The renowned guitarist, Frank Gambale, accompanied by the amazing ensemble of, Otmaro Ruiz (piano) Alain Caron (bass) and Mike Shapiro (percussion on some tracks), will thrill you throughout the collection of songs on this wonderful album. Sublime musicianship by all and you'll want to keep replaying this album again and again. All songs on the album were written and produced by Frank Gambale and released on his own record label, Wombat. This is Frank Gambale at his finest. Absolutely breathtaking!

256-Soul-you had to be there.......2002-01-18
This album is what they mean when ya hear the term old-school. This Album was the bomb when it was released. one half of the songs are beautiful with my favorites being natural high, spinning around, and dont turn around. If you want to hear old school, listen to this group. Interesting history too, look it up!
natural high.......2001-06-16
very disappointing when compared to "go on and cry". song selection is very poor. "natural high" is really the only worthwhile song on the cd.
Raw, but darn good........2000-03-05
This group caught my eye when I saw them in a movie Trainride To Hollywood circa 1980. Have no idea why neither the soundtrack nor the film is currently available to buy. It was a fun musical film with great music, and I got the soundtrack back then and enjoyed it.
I also got Natural High, and still have a CD of it. It is raw early 70's R+B with warts and all. My own personal opinion is that Never Let You Go is the best track, and one of my favorite tunes. Very upbeat, with good funky rhythms on the Fender Rhodes. It is preceeded in what I always thought was a very interesting way by Ran It In The Ground.
The song Natural High was covered, I think, by the Commodores. Tarrentino used the Bloodstone version in one of his films, Jackie Brown I think it was. The CD cover discusses the emotions the group had in recording the song.
To be honest, there are only one or two songs off this CD that I really go for when I put it on. That could lead to a three-star rating, but I guess I'll give it four.
It would be nice if the soundtrack and the movie of Trainride to Hollywood could somehow be released again. It wasn't the best film I ever saw or anything, but it was fun and I don't see why it's not available to listen to. They covered a lot of different genres in it, like covering "As Time Goes By" and "Yackety-Yack". Maybe Tarrentino could make it happen. Maybe amazon.com could look into it.

Pacific - Natural High.......2007-05-21
Excellent! The best CD I have purchased in a long long time. Every track is awesome. For those who ballroom, the grove is on-point.
Smooth Jazz music lover from Chicago........2004-02-14
I bought this CD when it first came out. It's a excellent side project done by one of the group memebers of: Down To The Bone.
Very Relaxing.......2003-04-20
This CD is relaxing to listen to, and easy to listen to. But, all the songs sound very similar. It's hard to tell one from the other. Has some great jazz beats.
Need something to brighten your day..........2001-09-22
I was browsing through my local record shop in a pretty depressed mood, and I stumbled on this CD. I have fairly eclectic taste and listen to alot of classical and jazz. I can say that this CD makes me smile. There's something very positive about most of the tracks here. The title cut "Pacific" has a hypnotic groove. Great music to drive to. Smooth with an urban edge. It hasn't left my car CD player in the last week.
Natural High - Pacific.......2001-09-19
If anyone tries to tell you that the English don't have any soul when it comes to music, then they've probably never heard of Tim Best. Pacific (Higher Octave Jazz) has clean, soulful upbeat tempos and lines that just keep rolling and flowing! This CD will no doubt transform your audio experience into a frenzied "Natural High" of groove-jazz euphoria. ~mgc

The other High point of the Commodores recordings, Naturally.......2005-11-05
I am an old school R&B afficionado and a Commodores fan. I saw them touring this album twice and they were at their best. The exellent writing that was a trademark of the previous album, ( Commodores ) was refined and polished by slicker production and better sonics. The disc starts with the smile and dance inducing "Flyin' High" and never lets up. The funk will move a corpse and the slow jams will move your heart. It takes you back to high school basement parties. I for one find the Mega Hit "Three Times a Lady" somewhat wanting but I'm in the minority and even that can't take away from what I feel is one of their two best albums.
Natural High.......2004-03-16
This is an excellent record, and the only album I've ever listened to by the Commodores. Today I decided to look it up here on Amazon, and found that there was no track listing, so I went downstairs and dug though my mum's collection of LP's.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Fire Girl
2. X-rated movie
3. Flying High
4. Three Times a lady
5. Such a Woman
6. Say Yeah
7. I like what you do
8. Visions
Now, my personal favorites of this album are the more funky songs: Fire girl, X-rated movie and Such a woman. If you like the slow, sappy ones there's plenty of them on here aswell.
all in all, a great album... get it now.

great reggae!!!!!!.......2003-10-01
im not a good critic or anything. i love to listen to all types of music, and im not normally a reggae fan, but i must say this album is darn good. great dance music. gets you moving. i think this album could appeal to a good variety of audiences. reggae lovers or not. like the music and positive message in the song "bettah world", and love the upbeat "green harvest". total koolness!
Very Good Reggae (mostly poppy roots style).......2003-08-15
Getting High is Natural Vibration's third major title and in my opinion, their best cd yet. It includes the songs "Green Harvest", featured in Fox's special "Reggae Nation", as well as "Come Around", featured on the 2002 annual "Reggae On The River" cd.

Album Description
The original rare groove, boogie fusion and 2-step soul sounds of the late 70's and early 80's return with a latin flavor and an emphasis on fusion. As before the tracks are in demand and hard to track down. The formula is to mix well-known names with obscure ones, but the net result is the same funky, jazzy and soulful grooves many of which have never been on CD before. This is the soul sound of endless summers, a perfect soundtrack to those approaching balmy summer evenings! 2002.

BE WARNED.......2005-05-05
BE WARNED this IS NOT Natural High , it is Natural High Vol 2. Vol 1 is listed elsewhere as "Natural High 2-step, boogie, fusion and rare groove". I made the mistake of ordering this incorrect listing and now have 2 copies of Vol 2 and an Amazon marketplace trader saying they've sent me the correct CD.
Despite that it's great, just not needed TWICE.....

A pretty gutsy and atypical choice choice for a single... bout time!.......2006-11-08
I must say I am quite impressed that Hammerfall didn't release another obvious made-for-radio single in the vein of "Hearts on Fire" or "Blood Bound". Seriously, while those were good songs in their own right and time another song like that and the third time would have definitely not have been a charm.
"Natural High" itself is quite a departure from the tunes mentioned above, much darker and sinister in nature than any of the band's previous singles. While "Blood Bound" and "Hearts on Fire" were driven forward more or less by the lyrics, "Natural High" is much more guitar driven than it is lyrically - you probably won't find yourself suddenly singing the chorus. Unfortunately, it's that part of the song that runs into trouble: while it's far from being weak like some of the song choruses on the new album, it does suffer from a slight awkwardness in how the lyrics and music come together. Nevertheless, while it's not the best single they've had it gets the job done.
Hammerfall once again give the listener a karaoke version of the title track, just like on the 2005's Blood Bound single. Unfortunately, there is just little to no reason for this to even be on here considering there is no sing-along contest this time. I could see using these as bonus tracks for the Japanese/Asian releases since karaoke type tracks and albums are usually made for and accepted by such markets.
"The Fire Burns Forever" is a pretty typical Hammerfall song in just about every way imaginable, I guess it can be a pretty uplifting track if you think about it, but why such a song would ultimately be chosen as a theme by/for their country's Olympic team is beyond me - sounds more like a PR move than anything else. Supposedly, this version of the song has an additional background singer but it's barely any different that the one on the album - in other words no big deal. The live version of "Raise the Hammer" is a extra track taken from the shows that band recorded for their 2003 live album "One Crimson Night". It's an OK addition but "In Memoriam" still remains my favorite Hammerfall instrumental by far.
Speaking of "The Fire Burns Forever", this is the video that is included on this disc - not the one for "Natural High" that is listed above; the track listing on the single itself is correct. I must say that this mix-up really didn't make me happy because I bought this single mainly for the Natural High video and I could honestly pass on the Fire Burns Forever clip. I guess that's partly my fault by not confirming the track listing at the band's official website.
In the end unless you want the video for The Fire Burns Forever and the two other tracks - which are totally expendable unless you MUST have every Hammerfall song/clip in existence - it' probably be best to skip this appetizer and just go the main course.
