Anyone pick up the Retroactive re-releases of the Sweet Comfort Band? Thoughts? Opinion? Fans?

I've got 'em all...as soon as I finished the mastering work for the label, the files went straight to my iPod.

Great band...I never gave 'em a chance when I was younger. It was my loss then, my gain now.

later...Cliffy

Don't have anything but a greatest hits, I need to pick up Hearts Of Fire and The Cutting Edge. I had them on cassette back in the day and when i'm feeling mellow they hit the spot.

Didn't realize they were having them remastered. I have the best of as
well as Cutting Edge and Perfect Timing. Did the remastering make a
huge difference, or only a slight one?

Nothin' over the top...the high end is less harsh, it's a tad bit louder, there's no tape hiss between tracks and the song to song transitions are top notch.

All the artwork from front to back has also been restored to their original glory, which I think is way cool.

All of 'em are REALLY well done.

later...Cliffy

I have only one--Hearts of Fire on vinyl LP. This album is very special to me because it was the first Christian Rock album I ever saw in a store. In the very early 80's my sister and I went into a Christian bookstore in our local mall and showed it to me.
May have to get the reissues!

I have all their releases on LP (showing my age) and also cassettes. I have recorded them digitally to listen on my Mp3 player...

They are all well done. I saw 'em on that farewell tour 'Perfect Timing' and they rocked ! It wasn't until this release did I realize that the Elephante's production that record.

This is great pop/rock with a little hard edge here and there. Great songs, vocals and performances.

I'm not sure that this would be up my alley. I think I'll pass.

I do. But, just from what people have said, I'm not sure I'd care for this.

Ok, I probably should have looked up song samples before just blowing this band off.

I did go to their MySpace page and listened. They sound ok, but remind me a lot of the Greg X. Volz era of Petra of which I am not much of a fan. So, now I know I can pass on this.
