*バンドをご賞味するのに何たって一番美味しいのは大ブレークする直前ではないかと思っております。してアース渦巻。ではなしこのアース・ウインド＆ファイアの邦題「太陽の化身」。次の７５年の大爆発アルバム「暗黒への挑戦」（含むシャイニング・スター）の直前の盤です。初のＰＯＰチャートＴＯＰ４０突破シングル２曲、ＬＰもプラチナ・ディスク獲得てんだからもう充分にブレークか。サウンドもすっかりアース音楽。でもまだ目が澄んでるよ。目が澄んでるからベースの変な形人間、ヴァーデイン・ホワイトちゃんの白い歯もキラキラ。モーリス氏のアメーバヘアも風にさわさわしてます。無いのはピラミッド・パワーだけかな。まだ町にいてくれるので引き出物持っていく必要も無くてその点でも安心安心。なんつっても１曲目「マイテー・マイテー」だ。全亜細亜ファンク認定委員会練馬支部の面々が基準ファンクとして認定した代物。コンパクトなドラム。間のベース。やたらとあちこち指差しながら行っちゃってるボーカル。後でどっかに置いてっちゃったファンク魂爆発。昇天です。一緒に指差す私。これ１発目のヒット。最高位２９位。辛口だからこれ以上は無理。２曲目は、はい、これは永遠のアースです。裏声ベイリーちゃんの妙なる声の調べ。デブが賞。では無くてデボーション。切れ良し独特の清涼感はやっぱジャズ畑だからかいの。最高位３３位。してここからはさらに当時出来うるブラック・ミュージック可能性総動員の大展覧会に。邦題で「暗鬱な時間」などとネプリーグで読み方問題に出そうなタイトルながら既にＡＯＲを獲得してる４．のフィーリン・ブルー。確かに訳せば暗鬱だろけどよー。５．モーリスおじさんが大好きなアフリカの親指ピアノをフューチャーのカリンバ・ストーリー。展開部がテープスピードが速くなってるみたいでそこだけ次元空間がぐにゅと歪みます。カリンバつうても全然アフリカンじゃ無いのです。変にまねするよりもちろんよっぽど素敵。これもシングルカットされて小ヒット。日本盤も出ましたけど何枚売れたかなー。ＬＰではここで引っくり返してＢ面、続いてカリンバ・フューチャー・ソングのドラム・ソング。よっぽど好きだったらしい。せっかく覚えたしなあ。って訳では無いきっと。カリンバは小ぶりのやつはけっこうお手ごろ値段なんで私も買ったことあり。あんまり興に乗っていぢめると鍵盤部の爪が折れちゃうのだ。うむ、あれは今はどこに置いてあるのだろう。次のナイン・チー・ビットは、超ヘヴィ・ディープ・ファンク。うにょうにょうにょうにょ訳のわからないことを変な声でぶつくさ言ってる快感は一旦はまると止められませんファンク世界は。でもこれやってる限り首位には立てないのだーーー。立てなくてもいいぞー。ってこっちは無責任に言わせてくれ。次の８．は一転して思い切り４ビートＪＡＺＺ。いやーかっこええ。さすが本職。凄い疾走感で瞳孔がここでどわっと開く。これは長いことやらないでアフリカン雰囲気を挟んだら、♪ぱらっぱっぱでいおーが素敵な「カリブ」に。カリブつうかラテンだけど。最後は夜明けのバラードのタイトル曲。湿ったアスファルトの臭い有り。Ａ面後半からＢ面に入って一挙にアフリカ経由南アメリカ行き飛んで帰ってロスアンジェルスと聴く大世界旅行の趣が。この大サービスぶり、師匠のラムゼイ・ルイス師の元で音楽は皆様に楽しんでもろうてなんぼやでを叩き込まれた所以か。それが下品にならず素敵な下世話で集合写真してるのがこの盤です。それにしてもジャケの場所最高に風光明媚。こんなとこ行ったらやっぱ、皆さん並んで並んで、になるだろな。このジャケの通り風がすこーんと抜けたそりゃもう気持ちいいアルバムぞ。

Teeth that strange shape man and the Vardan white of the base are white because eyes are clear are Kirakira. Maurice's amoeba hair is in the wind. Is it only a pyramid power that it is not?The thank-you-for-coming gift is not in the taken necessity and either safety is safe also in the respect because it is still in the town. It is the first "Maita Maita" no matter what it hangs itArticle that every one of minute sub-funk all recognition committee Nerima branch recognized as standard funk. Compact drum. Base among. Vocal done while pointing here and there with random. It puts somewhere and it explodes the funk spirit later. It is ascension. I who points together. This first hit. The 29th first rank placeIt is impossible because it is dry any further. Secondarily, this is an eternal earth yes. Examination of falsetto bay Lee's excellent voice. Fat person is a prize. Then, it is not and is Debortion. It is peculiar feeling of coolness to slice good is to field too jazz. The 33rd first rank placeTo a large exhibition of the black music possibility general mobilization that can be able to be done here by doing further at that time. "Melancholic time" etc. , do Nepreg in Dai, and Ferin blue of four in the pronunciation problem to have already acquired AOR. the title it that seems to come outIt is melancholic if it translates certainly. 5. The Maurice uncle is Carimba story of Future as for the thumb piano of loved Africa. It distorts only there with ..dimension space.. as the tape speed the development department quickens. There is no Carimba in African at all. It is of course greatly more wonderful than it strangely mimics it. It small becomes a hit being cut the single as for this. They are the selling Japanese syllabaries how many though a Japanese board went out, too. Drum song of the Carimba Future song. continue B respect ..pull.. repeat here in LPI seem to have liked it greatly. ..wanting the remembrance with great pains...

The end is a tune of the title of the ballade of daybreak. It smells and it exists about damp asphalt. It enters B respect in the latter half of A respect, it takes, South America by way of Africa flies all at once, it returns, and the elegance on Los Angeles and the listened trip to the large world :. Is music a reason why enjoyment was driven in by everybody for master master Ramsey Lewes's origin at this large service?It doesn't become ribaldry, and it is wonderful care in the under and a board of set copy sincere. However, it is beautiful in the height of the place of Jake. It is, you ..such a Ocona.., and ..queue up... queue up..solving ..no wind ｰ.. as shown in this Jake.. ..an already pleasant omission album...
