This double CD sees Earth Wind & Fire’s first two albums for Warner Bros from 1970 and 1971 brought together in a nice package. From the Self-titled debut ‘C’mon Children’ is a huge funk break and dancefloor favourite, the rapid fire ‘Bad Tune’ shows the hard funk side of EWF as well as their forays into experimentalism, while the brassy ‘Help Somebody’ is a killer. The beat ballad ‘Love Is Life’ is a classy slowie that adds some more hues to the palette. The follow up kicks off with two minutes of avant Jazz before ‘Energy’ rolls into a tough funker – Boogie Wonderland is a million miles away from this! The fuzz-funk ‘I Can Feel It In My Bones’ contrasts with the beautiful ballad ‘I Think About Loving You’ while ‘Everything Is Everything’ again shows the genius of Maurice White’s ever shifting focus.
