Disney World, Star Wars and Earth, Wind & Fire

Developed the sound the EWF 1975-1983 can best be compared to Disney World: in every detail perfectly unconverted entertainment for all ages. Just like almost every album covers on these disks: colorful pop like (emphasis on style), fairytale and almost always carefree cheerful. From the jazz-lastigeren - initially even slightly psychedelic - song structures and arrangements since 1975 is nothing left (except, Getaway 'by 1976, the first-class Jazz Funk with Vocals offers). That's mainstream dance music, but in the best sense, both technically (the EWF Winds from the period are already legend), as well as a composer.

The compositions are in all nine songs on this album consistently at the highest level, and if you want to speak here of Kitsch / need, then it is quite impressive kitsch. What is there not to admire everything in this Disneyland: deliver the wind-phrases associated with the percussion, the bass lines and the choir chants a flawless basic framework for the singing skills of Philip Bailey; the keyboards that fit as if by magic in this Klangwolke and funky guitars that - if it is appropriate - sometimes short melodic solos set as icing on top.
