Electric Universe gets the expanded treatment on CD, with bonus tracks added to Earth, Wind & Fire's boldest swing at the synthesiser age.
By 1983 the horn-driven sound that had made Maurice White's band a funk and soul institution was competing with drum machines, keyboards and the sleek electro-pop taking over radio. Rather than resist, Earth, Wind & Fire leaned in. Electric Universe trimmed back the brass and leaned on programmed rhythms and glossy synths, a sharp turn that divided fans at the time and has since gained a devoted following among lovers of 80s boogie.
Magnetic leads the charge, a sleek, pulsing groove with Philip Bailey's falsetto cutting through the sheen. Moonwalk winks at the dance-floor craze of the day, Touch slows things down with a silky ballad feel, and Spirit of a New World reaches for the cosmic optimism that always ran through the band's music. The bonus material adds extended and instrumental takes on Magnetic plus demo versions and rarities, a peek behind the curtain at how these songs took shape.
It is the sound of a great band testing new tools and finding fresh sparks in them.
For anyone who loves the glossier corners of 80s funk, this one deserves a closer listen.
