Touch the World

Touch the World / Earth,Wind & Fire (1990)




That was the first time with this album that I listened the sound of EWF !
It's futuristic and stylish!
I like this album most in all albums in the whole world even now!

Allthough it was an album of EWF ,only few members participated in this.

Why is it?

Didn't a schedule match by an album of Earth,Wind&Fire after a long time and the relation of the solo work then?
Marice White,Philip Bailey, Sheldon Reynolds, Andrew Woolfolk, Bill Meyers

The limit by which credit is judged and the member who participates in recording, only these 5 people.
Verdine White was reflected on an album jacket, but Nathan East participated in all recording for a base imstead of Verdine.
But anyway I love this album so much!
