Before "In The Name Of Love" was released,
this new album was sold prior to the world from Japanese Avex Trax.
Several songs of different song is featured by each .
" Take You to Heaven" and "Bahia" of an interlude are recorded in only this album.
"Take You to Heaven" is the transparent beautiful physical function-like number featured
high notes of Philip Bailey .
The song order is also different and these 2 are an indispensable album for a fan, aren't they?
The groove full of street sense as well as a conventional EWF sound were filled with this album by the contents such as emerging EWF.
" Love Is Life" the first single cut of Earth,Wind&Fire newly recorded and featured.
I think it meant the new biginning of their trip of new Earth,Wind & Fire!
Sheldon Reynolds took charge of lead vocal for the first time!
Maurice White, Philip Bailey, Sheldon Reynolds.
This is the only album that we can listen to these 3 vocals at once.
It's wonderful album indeed!
