Editorial Reviews

Tracks: 10. Packaging: 4 panel digipak. Sweet Comfort Band began as a straight forward R&B pop foursome, but quickly expanded their sound through experimentation with horns, jazz arrangements and progressive arena rock. Whatever they tried, the band set benchmarks for the Christian scene with regard to production values, innovation and sheer musical competence. The Thomson brothers gained recognition as one of the finest rhythm sections in all of Christian rock. Randy Thomas became a guitar hero. And, Bryan Duncan, well, Duncan came to be acknowledged as having one of the finest voices in rock and roll, period. Originally released in 1984, Perfect Timing shows a band fully embracing the high energy, progressive rock sound that made them peers of among Kansas, Styx and Petra. The presence of mainstream rock band, Kansas alums, Dino Elefante (producer) and John Elefante (guest vocals) only make the transition to full-on stadium rock all the more convincing. Perfect Timing was the last album Sweet Comfort Band released. Bryan Duncan would go on to become a superstar in Christian pop, filling the airwaves for more than fifteen years with heartfelt ballads and up-tempo dance songs. Randy Thomas joined forces with Bob Carlisle and formed The Allies, one of the most important classic Christian rock bands from 1985-1992. This Limited Edition reissue comes packaged in a full color digipak with enhanced original artwork and is properly remastered for a high quality audio experience! Full promotional/magazine campaign. Features CCM giants, Bryan Duncan (solo) and Randy Thomas (Allies). Features guest appearance by John Elefante (Kansas). Produced and engineered by the legendary Dino Elefante (Kansas, Mastedon)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Timing ~ Sweet Comfort Band, March 10, 2007

This is an excellent CD. Very difficult to locate a copy and can be somewhat expensive but worth every penny. The recording has been remastered from the original master tapes and sounds great even on high end audio gear. Bryan Duncan is at his best on this disc. Sweet Comfort Band's music still sounds awesome 25 years later since they hit the Christian Rock Music Scene. Their lyrics can be appreciated by all audiences and have the ability to break through the emotional walls that we put up. This album will take you for a ride. The entire album is awesome. I purchased the album when it was released in the early 80s and never thought it would be released on cd. Whether you are a conservative or liberal christian this is one disc everyone can agree with. Check out their song "Habit of Hate".

2.0 out of 5 stars Same Old Formula Finally Wears Thin Here, December 21, 2007

This review is from: Perfect Timing (Limited Edition) (Audio CD)

Those of us who saw SCB in the `70s were devoted fans and they were writing and recording some of the best pop music of the era.

When their out-of-print debut came out the same time BOSTON's debut did, SCB outsold them in some stores in S. CA, SCB's base.

They were THAT popular and that good.

That being said, they did have a certain "sameness" album after album and some in-fighting took its toll toward the end--solo careers/bands were waiting so "Perfect Timing" was the result.

Not a great record -- HEARTS and BREAKIN' THE ICE are probably their best, musically and lyrically.
