Tracklist of Elements of Love: Ballads
Reviews:
Excellence.
This is a product you'll enjoy from track 1 to the finish. The remastering has really put the icing on the cake. You will feel as if the Boys are doing Devotion or Be Ever Wonderful right in your living room. Phillip Bailey falsettoes are all over the tracks, Maurice White does his best neo-spiritualist, non denomination deacon, and McKay/Dunn/Verdine on rhythm instuments set this whole enterprise just right. Even Nasciemento's afro-Brasilian Rhyme Interlude is given a fresh hearing here. You won't find That's the Way (yow!) of the World, but you are gonna hear All About Love and an equally impressive Imagination here.(I really don't understand why folks prefer Reasons to Imagination, but they both are heard here.) With the summer season coming up, you know you're gonna need some great ol' school grooves to listen to on those lazy evenings reserved for deprogramming and chillin'. This is a perfect CD for doing just that.
Great CD- where's my song?
I love this CD. The ballads bring back great memories. After listening to it for 3 hours during a road trip with friends, I couldn't get "Imagination" and "Be Ever Wonderful" out of my head. I found it at Best Buy, however, the listed track "Imagination" was not on the CD. It had been replaced with another EWF tune that apparently has no title! Everything else is as it should be.
Grown Folks!!!
This is essential for any real music collector! EWF had three faces back in the day! They could jam it up with the best of them, jazz fusion it up the best of them and then really slow it down and blow better than the rest of them. This collection is really a must have of superb classic jams! It's impossible to pick a favorite!
