Right Place, Right Time

Product Description
After the Mika self-titled debut album, released by Klein Records in 2000, it was time for a change. The electronic toys were moved, Simon Nola moved to Graz, Matthi as Kertal moved to Vienna, honorary Mika Lea Sonnek moved to London.

Despite the spatial separation, the members of the group remained synchronically in contact, gave concerts, produced remixes and individually worked on new songs. Within three weeks of intense work in a factory loft on the Austrian countryside, the foundation for their new album was built together with Klein label head Christian Candid.

Right Place, Right Time was improved on railway trips, rearranged on motorways, sent via email until the single bits and pieces eventually melted into one piece: a collection of Mika-esque moments in which the chemistry is right - when you’re finally at the right place, right time.

Synthpop with Human Soul.......2004-01-27

Austria's contributions to modern music have been dubious at best. Most notorious amongst them was Falco, a club-hopping clown, who, in the era of Reagan, Thatcher and a divided Europe, forged a laughable link between the cheesy synthesizer doodlings of 80's techno and the brilliance of an 18th century prodigy who played for the court of Salzburg. While the laptop-pop collaborators of Mika hail from the same homeland, they are not plagued by the same over-the-top pomposity and delusions of grandeur that prompted the new wave jester to pen "Rock Me Amadeus."

They do, however, share his love of the synthesizer, especially the loud, moody and aggressive one that propelled most dance music in Europe during the era of denim, day-glo and the feathered, faux-hawk mullet. Fortunately, Mika comes from a better stock than most of those musicians and understands the best electronic songs have a human soul. Right Place, Right Time is drawn from the same synthesized roots as albums from Human League and Depeche Mode. But while DM's landmark Violator combined the majesty of spacey techno with the melancholy feelings of resignation and rebirth that inform post-punk, Mika fuses digital bliss with soulful pop in a way that at its best echoes the Pet Shop Boys and at its worst mimics modern downbeat maestros such as Royksopp, Plej and Ralph Myerz with the Jack Herren Band.

"Trampolin" is Mika at the top of its game. A big bass-drum beat wrapped in a driving synth riff propels forward a wistful chanteuse with a slight german lilt in her gentle voice. The track has a retro feel recalling the smoky, strobe-lit confines of an eastern European discotheque, circa 1986. Songs like "From Now On" and "Travelling Not Hunting" offer similarly nostalgic experiences, with enough lazy funk to make them suitable for today's chillout sessions. The more thoughtful and pensive "My Opinion Never Sleeps" goes in another direction, a nod perhaps to the softer side of new wave and the more recent organic movement as represented by Manitoba or M83.

Where Right Place, Right Time falls flat is on tracks like "Masquerade" and "Suga" that lapse into generic downtempo. There is already too much of this kind of music out there, and, without the European-flavored, synthpop spin of Mika's best material, it's just not good enough to be vital in a crowded field. Lyrically, Mika is also disappointing. Songs like "I Am Looking Through You" ("Tell me why don't you treat me right/Love has a way of disappearing overnight") are painfully predictable, while others such as "Travelling Not Hunting" ("Always check if everything's okay/Always check things when you travel") are downright odd. Few lyrics compliment the mood set by the instrumentation. Any artist reaching back to new wave should recognize the role good songwriting played in that musical movement (imagine synth-pop classics like Human League's "Don't You Want Me?" or the Eurythmic's "Sweet Dreams" without the vocal tracks). Alas, it's a lesson unlearned by even the best electronic artists of today.

Right Place, Right Time is a decent CD. None of the songs are bad, there is a consistent mood throughout, and remixed versions of "Trampolin" will probably make their way onto the better compilations discs this year. However, Mika fails to live up to the potential of its strongest tracks. This could be the group that rescues rocking, European-style synthpop from its vulgarization at the hands of electroclash hacks like Fischerspooner and Peaches. Mika just needs dual doses of the ambition and audacity that drove their deceased Austrian forbearers -- Mozart and Falco.

Broadway veteran Liz Callaway (most famous for her five-year stint as Grizabella in Cats on Broadway in the late '90s) fills her second solo album with lesser-known tunes, a number of them covering moments in her career. Her lovely soprano can break your heart with the ballad "Since You Stayed Here" then thrill you with the showstopper "The Story Goes On" from Baby (which earned her a Tony nomination). The emotional heart of the album is "Meadowlark," Stephen Schwartz's wondrous tale of risk and heartbreak that proves a particularly glorious marriage with Callaway's voice. In a savvy bit of programming, that peak is followed by the deliciously langorous "Sleepy Man." Callaway's sister, jazz/cabaret singer Ann Hampton Callaway, makes a guest appearance in Stephen Sondheim's powerful "Our Time," a teaser of the sisters' live collaboration. Of Varese Sarabande's many albums spotlighting Broadway singers, The Story Goes On is one of their absolute best. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Y'all are crazy!.......2006-11-03

The Billy Porter duet is one of the most unique and thrilling songs on the cd. What a fantastic re-invention of that song. And their voices by themselves and together are glorious. Its all personal taste and by no means is that the only good song. Its probably THE best solo cd by a broadway artist. Incredible!

Liz Callaway Goes On..........2006-05-02

Liz Callaway has one of the most enthralling voices around. Her voice is melodious and very soothing and especially shines in soft and subdued ballads. She doesn't have a big voice but she has an amazing range and sense of melody.

She opens the album with a strong rendition of "You There in the Back Row" a song I'm not familiar with but has grown to love. The next track "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair" lacks the spunk and bite that I think the song should have, and the arrangement felt out of place in the album.

She had a touching and moving rendition of `Since You Stayed Here". I'm not familiar with the musical Brownstone but this song made me want to check out the musical. It's about someone forced to become a stronger person after a breakup or some sort, that you wouldn't recognize it's the same person. I really love this song and Liz captured the strength as well as the sadness of the song.

Another standout is her now trademark version of "Meadowlark". The story of the meadowlark was a metaphor that convinced the character to the important decision she made in leaving her husband for another man. This is a really powerful song and truly Liz Callaway soared in this song. "Sleepy Man" was another notable track. This is probably the song that fits Liz Callaway's voice most perfectly. It was very sweet and really really soothing in the ears. This is one of my favorite tracks.

"Stop Time" is a song about the inexplicable combination of joy and sadness of watching your child grow up. It was a tender rendition that ends with a beautiful subdued last note. This woman knows how to end a song.

Once I got passed the cheesiness of the arrangement of "One Boy", I enjoyed it. It's old fashioned but it's still good. Liz then made an updated rendition of "The Story Goes On" from her show "Baby" This song was about a mother-to-be finally realizing the beauty and magic of carrying a child after she felt the child's first kick. I prefer the stronger arrangement of the song in this album compared to the Baby Cast Recording, but the innocence of that earlier rendition still resonates.

She ended the album with a beautiful rendition of "A Place Called Home". I first heard this song in one of Lea Salonga's concerts and I fell in love with this song. Her last note was very touching and melodiously and heartbreakingly romantic.

Grade= A

Liz Callaway SOARS!.......2005-06-27

Wow! I love this cd! I went to a camp in Decatur, Illinois called Showchoir Camps of America. One night, as our evening entertainment, she performed this entire album!! That afternoon Ms. Liz came for a question and answer session with Phil Reno. She is such a down to earth person and sooo very talented! At the concert, I started to cry! During one song, Ms. Liz forgot the words to a song ( actually, I forgot what the song was called!), so she just made up some words to it!! If you want a TRUELY talented performer, Liz Callaway is the one for you!

....Love this album too!.......2004-08-18

I love this album. There are a few songs I kinda skip, because it was just weird. That song being "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair", weird. I loved the duet "Where is Love" from the musical Oliver. "Stop,Time" from the musical BIG (grab your puffs!). I enjoyed the 50's sounding "One Boy!" from Bye,Bye Birdie. Liz has a wonderful range, and flattering childish tone to her voice, reaching notes that would take me years of training to ever reach again! She has complied all these exciting songs and ends the album with "A Place Called Home", from A Christmas Carol. I could never give her enough praise. If you like Strisand, and Sintra, you'll love her too! :-) Liz is always shinning when she sings! Enjoy!

Unknown Talent Sings Unknown and Known Broadway Songs.......2003-06-10

... I thought I recognized the voice but I couldn't quite place it. I finally realized that she was the singing voice of Anastacia in the animated movie. Meg Ryan was the speaking voice. Liz Callaway has one of the clearest voices I have ever heard and also a very strong voice. I love her rendition of Knowing When to Leave/Promises, Promises by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Great arrangements. Dionne Warwick, who I am also a fan of covered Promises, and the Carpenters sang a version of Knowing When to Leave. I'm also a Carpenters' fan. On this album all the songs are Broadway. Many I hadn't heard before but love now due to Liz. The first song, You There in the Backrow is a tribute to fans of shows. "Watch me sing my song for you" the words go. Liz makes you want to jump to your feet. Liz does a rendition of I' Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair from South Pacific, rock version. I can't say that's my favorite, but favorite to one of my friends. Since You Stayed Here, another unknown song to me, is quiet and hauntingly beautiful. Bette Midler does a version of this I think on her CD with From a Distance. She sings a duet with her sister, Ann Hampton Callaway who sings on Sibling Revelry with Liz. Ann wrote and sang the theme from The Nanny. The song Liz and Callaway and here sister does is Our Time. It's also on Sibling Revelry. Great duet. One of my favorites on the CD is Marry Me a Little by Stephen Sondheim. The words are a plea to marry me, a little. The song is an almost a desperate plea to marry me but you don't have to make promises you don't want to, an open marriage? Make a few demands a few that I'm able to fulfill. She sings I'm ready. We won't have to give up a thing, we'll stay who we are the words say. Someone I'm Ready. I would give this song 5 stars on its own. It makes me cry because she sounds like she will settle but at the same time she wants the love fully. The arrngements on this album are unique. She sings I've Got the Sun in the Morning from Annie Get Your Gun jazzy. Most of the other songs on the album are not known by most people. I can only say that Liz makes you want to see these shows and she pulls you in. I think I've become her biggest fan. I'm a singer too. I could see myself singing with her. I have her The Beat Goes On album too with sixties hits. I hope that people will get to know her because if you haven't heard this or her voice, you are going to be deprived of a remarkale clear strong voice. Buy this. I promise you won't be sorry! One more addition, Meadowlark. Spectacular! The story tells of someone hesitating because the time wasn't right and she learns from the story to live your life, climb every mtn.

Album Description

Musically speaking, there are few events as highly anticipated as the venerable Dr. John, performing "live" in New Orleans. Perhaps the greatest living musician from the Crescent City, the Doctor's hometown appearances always prove to be full-scale celebrations of New Orleans culture and people. Add Mardi Gras night at Tipitina's into the mix and the stage is set for that intangible X-factor to enter the musical equation. Proof of that resounds on, Right Place, Right Time: Live At Tipitina's Mardi Gras '89, capturing the one and only New Orleans Night Tripper, Dr. John, on Mardi Gras night 1989 at the hallowed Big Easy music venue, Tipitina's.

Opening to the introduction: "Ladies and gentleman, Mardi Gras '89 here at Tipitina's, The High Priest, The Night Tripper, Dr. John!" The good Doctor blasts into the "jailbird beat" of "Junco Partner." It's a full-tilt boogie based on Dr. John's "steady comin' at ya" piano. Joined by an all-star NoLa band, including Tommy Moran, David Barard, Herman Ernest III, Trazi Williams, Amadee Castanell and Charlie Miller, they follow with "Renegade." The version is highlighted by a fiery Dr. John sermon. It's vintage Night Tripper.

Mardi Gras wouldn't be complete without voodoo. "I Walk On Guilded Splinters" sees to that. The audience's elation is audible. As the evening proceeds, Dr. John keeps the music coming with stand-out numbers like "Black Widow," "Kinfolks," "Let The Good Times Roll," and "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying." Tipitina's hits the stratosphere as Dr. John delivers rave-up renditions of the show stoppers, "Wang Dang Doodle" and "Such A Night." As the music fades, it's hard not to think of New Orleans in better days, but like a well-timed postcard from the past, Right Place, Right Time keeps the spirit of the magical city alive and well.

RIght Place, Right Sound.......2006-05-10

Dr. John is at his best when he doing what he does best, being a barroom piano player. The sound here is fairly clean. His piano playing and the background musician is what makes this album works. It have energy and it is fun. It is very hard to listen to and not end up tapping your toes to the music. I am sure it will never show up on a list "to die for" or Music awards. It is what it is, a great piano player, playing.

"Right Place, Right Time" by Tomo Fujita.......2007-02-12

This is an instrumental piece and very guitar driven, still there is enough here for anyone to enjoy. Overall, I would say that this cd shows Tomo playing a bit more aggressively with more complex arrangements for the accompanists. The guitar lines flow as Tomo makes every note seem effortless regardless of the technical difficulty. I have always felt that making a piece seem easy is a hallmark of the accomplished player. Tomo's dynamics and tones are wonderful as we have come to expect. There is no doubt that this cd exhibits Tomo's growth as an artist and player.

Here is a breakdown, track by track:

1. Catty Woman - The cd starts off with a strong, up tempo and aggressive beginning. My favorite section comes in around 1:23 with an expressive and lyrical section which transitions back into the previous feel then really takes off under a minute later.

2. Confidence Cat II - A new take on one of my favorites. This piece is very funky and lays down the groove from the opening measure. Tomo is right in the pocket throughout.

3. Texas Heat - Yes, there is a real Texas feel here. This one could certainly be played in a Texas honky tonk with lots of smiling faces. Plenty of strat twang, but some sizzle as well. We all know Tomo enjoys SRV, but this piece showed there is more than a little bit of Texas style in his chops.

4. Sweet Home - Tomo slows it down a bit. This melodic track is laced with tasteful playing and sweet tones. You can easily appreciate the range of expression in Tomo's playing here. Very nice clean execution in a tune that is really breathing. My favorite section is the transition at 2:12.

5. Funky Thang - This one shows Tomo has a lot to his funky side and has more to show us. By the title, I was expected it to be on the "Just Funky" side, it turns out to be funky in a different vein. Tomo begins with a simple, repetitive lick and builds. It has a modern funk vibe.

6. Orange Juice & Vodka - A catchy riff followed by some serious stylings from guitarist Toshi Hiketa. Tomo shows how easily he melds with another guitarist. Some nice trading off here while the song flows.

7. Gogo - Tenor sax, trumpet and horns, anyone? After showing how he can fit in with another guitarist, Tomo jumps into this context just as seamlessly. Lots of cool stuff going on in this one from all involved.

8. Drive Me Nuts - Interesting title, huh? Tomo takes off from the beginning with another track that just builds and builds with a memorable riff floating from the forefront and into the background. Tomo explodes into a solo at 1:47 and just rips.

9. Twinkle Twinkle - For anyone who has not heard Tomo take a simple, familiar tune then drive it into uncharted territory, this will be a huge treat. Not so subtle are the underlying themes of his teaching philosophy while it is a whimsical and enjoyable selection for all.

10. Just Funky 2006 - Again a new edition of a Tomo classic. I always enjoy when Tomo plays with the arrangement of this tune as he often does in his DVDs. This version does not disappoint and provides a fitting and memorable ending to the cd. The horn and sax section is back adding some tasty textures to this tune.

There is a lot of attitude and complete immersion in each and every track. That is rare enough in a cd with similar tracks yet seldom pulled off with such diversity. Indeed, Tomo's enthusiasm comes across throughout as does his musicianship. As I mentioned, there were numerous other players on this cd. Each one executed their parts extremely well giving the feel of a tight and seasoned band.

For people who enjoy guitar to begin with, I know you will appreciate this cd. And, I think a lot of other people will, too. I highly recommend it.

Best Kept Secret in the World of Tasteful Blues-Fusion-Funk Guitar........2007-02-09

Tomo Fujita, a sought-after professor at Berklee, and a highly lauded player and teacher in his native Japan, puts together a well-produced and classy tour de force of an instrumental guitar album. His musicianship is world class, and his unique style incorporates many of his influences including but not limited to: B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Prince, John Mayer, etc.
Though Tomo is known for his clean style of playing, and that can be had in abundance on this album, he definitely spices things up with a variety of tones, arrangements, and effects this time around. It should be noted that the other contributing musicians make for a tight band.
Fans of the blues, jazz, and funk should appreciate this well-rounded guitar driven offering, but anyone who likes music can enjoy. This is not mindless noodling, fretboard gymnastics, or speed for speed's sake. This is melodic, tasteful, and accomplished playing. Highly recommended.

RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "IF YOU LIKE TO HEAR YOUR BLUES AT THE SAME DECIBEL LEVEL AS A DOG THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU!".......2007-01-31

If you're one of "Shaq's, The King Of The World Blues Reviewer's" loyal fans, you'll know that I love Otis, and he is one of my six all-time favorite electric blues guitarist's. My prior reviews of his CD's, all have exemplary reviews. But this CD, fails two of Shaq's critical tests. First, the volume and clarity of this CD is terrible. I had to turn up the sound on my stereo louder than on any prior reviewed CD. Second, there are a total of 10 songs on this CD, and the total running time of the entire CD is 40 minutes. So as Shaq always says: "You can't get da blues in 3-4 minutes. Summary: If you're the type of person who likes to turn your portable CD player up to it's highest volume, and sneak up behind someone you're stalking, and not have them know you're behind them, this is the CD for you! Playing this CD at its highest level won't bother the librarian, or your neighbors.

An Essential Blues Recording.......2007-01-01

Otis Rush is one of the greatest singers and guitarists in the history of the blues. "Right Place, Wrong Time" is his unmistakeable masterpiece, far surpassing the Cobra recordings, his initial reputation was built on, and setting a standard he unfortunately never quite reached again. Over ten songs (four of which are originals) he conveys a lifetime of sadness, pain and passion through his tasteful guitar playing and soulful singing. When he sings "they say there's someone for everybody/ Ooooh I wonder where in the world is the one for me," on the title track its the poetry of loneliness brought to life. The final song "Take a Look Behind" is one of the most moving songs about the regret over a life badly lived in all the blues. There isn't a dud on here though. Every track is a thing of beauty.

I first bought this album on vinyl in the 80s and nearly wore it out. The CD I replaced it with continues to get plenty of air time on my home stereo. No blues collection can be complete without this disk.

Right place, right time.......2006-12-11

I heard this record on the telly. Channel 18 it was, a public access outfit on Long Island who when The Simpsons aren't on are absolutely the best thing on the box. See, what they do is put out a round-the-clock bulletin board of upcoming community events but they back this up with entire albums, often double albums, chosen by the dudes what work there. Each record plays for a couple of days at a stretch too so you can miss it a bunch of times and still catch up. They've even got a screen with the date, time and temperature--as I said, prime time television. These old geezers are free to broadcast just about anything that takes their fancy and mostly it's not too crappy although once they played Hank Snow and I had to take up cycling just to get out of the house because really Hank Snow, I mean that sap's the Andrew Llyod Webber of country music, isn't he? I sent an e-mail to the guy in charge of this gig complementing him on their choice one night of early Charlie Parker--what I don't know about jazz could fill a warehouse but this bird is the spring in wintertime--and the felly wrote back an actual letter in which he described in the most amiable manner how they do things down at Four Village Studio. Tastes there run to older acoustic and electric blues, rhythm & blues, jazz and, like I said, lots of cowboys. Over the last several months as a for instance I've watched, usually from my bed, the following compact disks: Long John Hunter's Ride With Me, Texas blues tailor made for a Saturday afternoon. I own this record now on account of buying it there recently because it's just that good; Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding where he sings that song about Saint Augustine--as perfect a number as that man ever rolled. I love Dylan, his Chronicles are stupendously cranky and funny and I for one am eagerly awaiting volumes two and three. I didn't think much of David Crosby until I read this book but his crack after the Princeton debacle is a thing of beauty; A Junior Parker compilation which I'm pretty certain I remember not minding one bit; Celtic Solstice by Paul Winter and Friends, a processed slab of Irish cheese that made me want to fly into O'Hare International Airport and drink a lump of pints in The Green Potato; the first two albums by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, a double CD and Jehesius H. Horselips just a mongo kablammo twofer--red barn blues and on disk two the incomparable Elvin Bishop crooning some serious voodoo on Never Say No; and this record here by Otis Rush, searing big band electric blues, the perfect prescription for shutting up shop on a Sunday night. The thing about this record is that all the good bits--lead guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and brass--come through on their own but somehow stay together in a right snazzy arrangement. It's like one of those glass clocks you often find on mantlepieces where you can clearly see the whole gizmo actually ticking but in the wind up you still get the right time. I own this record now too so I do on account of it also is just that good.

Right Place, Right Disk.......2004-10-15

If Rush had only ever recorded this single disk his place as a Chicago Blues great would have been secured. Add to this his incomparable late 50's sides for Cobra and you have a selection of the greatest West Side recordings ever made.

'Right Place, Wrong Time', is quite simply the best straight blues recording made during the 1970's, bar none. Rush is on fire throughout, whether delivering wracked slow blues or up tempo shuuffles. He plays and sings with incredible passion and feeling throughout; constantly striving for the next lick or turn of phrase which might take these songs to a new level. The backing band are never fussy, the horn section restrained, the production sparse and tough.

Highlights include the brilliant original 'Right Place, Wrong Time' and a definitive reading of Albert King's (Lets have a) 'Natural Ball'. Rush makes 'Lonely Man' his own and manages to deliver 'Rainy Night In Georgia' as a first rate blues ballad.

These recordings carry none of the excesses that blight many of his later recordings, but rather capture Otis delivering at the very peak of his considerable powers.

A guitarist's guitarist.......2004-07-02

From a fellow guitarist's perspective, this album is a masterpiece. The well-placed silence between mesmerizing, shimmering guitar licks is deafening. Otis is masterful at telling a story or setting a mood with the confluence of his anguished singing, espressive guitar-playing, and impeccable timing. What sets him apart from other, perhaps flashier, guitarists, is the patience he shows while telling a story---i.e., the spaces between guitar playing, the patience in holding a note. His phrasing on the guitar is simply hypnotic. One of his secrets is that he puts on a silky-smooth vibrato while deftly bending the string---a difficult task for many.
I wish more current blues musicians played like this---less busy noise going-on,...
His other indispensable studio album is "Cold Day in Hell," which has even sparser, intense playing, and perhaps a better, upfront tone.
For a great LIVE album of Otis, I would suggest TOPS, or else LIVE IN EUROPE.
