Faces

Faces / Earth, Wind & Fire (1980)



A masterpiece of 2 record gang!
But a CD has a capacity larger than a record, so it's in 1 by a CD.
This album got at most 10th place of all-American album chart and Golden disc acquisition.
Maurice White's comment was introduced in the liner notes that
The name is different but same essentially, this is the time when a we approve that we're partaking under the sun.
We touch my company through that in a smile for the vibration which waxed to be gladdest at all places by the world.
This Maurice's message is flooding this album.



Volume as total of 15 songs of 2 set made it possible to gather great music of various approach in the theme of people.

I suppose they would like to play free from all cares to the sky because their former album was the composition which made the disco sound the center .
They didn't stick to the fashion at that time, I guess.
They seem to have recorded with the ability from except for members in more aggressively .

By the way "Faces" of an album title song...
This is to start with Japanese music of folk customs ,
But the rhythm isn't incongruous through the whole song, and it's novel and also cool!.
It's wonderful choice for Japanese.people
