From "The Last Days in Time" to "System Of Survival", Every track is significant and full length every version in it's prime. Earth, Wind & Fire is the full zodiac of popular music. Jazz, Soul, Rock, Pop, folk, and "Open Our Eyes". The title of their 3rd album is a traditional gospel song. EWF, is originally a vision, spawned from Maurice White, leader, as a Jazz-fusion group it evolved into Eastern Mysticism, Metaphysics, and transcendental Meditation without losing traditional soul. As evidenced by their first top 40 song, "I Think about Loving You" A Wonderful love ballard whose 45" single was 6 minutes and two seconds; at a time when most producers fretted over second of a song over three minutes except in the world of jazz. Time and space only allow me to give legendary LP title songs "That's The Way of The World, "Gratitude", "Sprit", "All In All" but they never preached you must believe or even that they themselves believed. As a matter of fact lead falsetto vocalist,Philip Bailey,"Reasons","I Write A Song" is a Born Again Christian(as I am)who has recorded at least 3 gospel CD's. The beat never interferes with with the message and the message never stops the beat. So whether you want to dance, make romance,or just stay alive, you'll find the right vibe, as you move to "The Eternal Dance". ~ Charles W. Artis<br />

This box set was not intended to be the greatest hits CD but to give us the listeners more of a vibe about what it's like to experience EWF in the live versions, unreleased cuts, and the true complexity of their music. Most EWF lovers have all of the songs that are missing. This CD is supposed to fill the voids and show the diversity of the music. Check them out at the fan site www.elememtsvipclub.com ~ V.
