5 out of 5 stars African Spirit.......2007-05-08

The story goes that Stevie Wonder's Song's in the key of life was being released the same day as EWF's Spirit. Motown knew this & moved Stevie's release date up 2 days. Which goes to show you the respect EWF was getting and still gets today. Of course it was not a rivarly going on, but in the mid-seventies, Stevie & EWF were what one might say, the two leading artists at the time in the black community, only Stevie had made the crossover, on his own terms of course, on a greater level than the blatantly Afrocentric EWF. Maurice & the band never really made too much comment about their heritage, but they celebrated it. Wholeheartedly. Not only within the music, but also in its imagery. We won't go into the well known fact of what Egypt is, that should be known by now.

But with this record, Spirit, EWF does something exquisite in making the music & lyrics appeal directly to the community, but at the same time giving it worldly appeal. There is no way to describe this one track by track, it is a total experience. GETAWAY is a great opener & Burnin Bush is an even greater closer and in between is music that will ultimately stand the test of time. Feel that.

5 out of 5 stars Must Have!!!.......2007-01-04

In my opinion, this is the best EWF recording of all time. Buy both this CD and their "Greatest Hits", and you will be in for a true EWF musical experience!

5 out of 5 stars THE GREATEST BAND EVER!.......2005-05-11

This is one of my favorite EWF albums! I had the incredible
experience of hearing Philip Bailey, sing Imagination,ACAPPELLA!
That was back in 87. What an amazing voice he has! Maurice
White, you have a fantastic voice too! Nobody can sing lead,
like them. You are, and always will be, my favorite band!!!

5 out of 5 stars EW&F IN THEIR PUREST FORM.......2004-08-26

Only this album and Open Our Eyes is where you find Earth, Wind & Fire 100% doing them. Face it! As great as All 'N All was, it tried to be just that, catering to all conceivable audiences. Spirit is an album that controls its audience, showing you the true depth of this legendary outfit.

Getaway - 10 of 10 - Huge, overpowering, funk-defining jam, Maurice, Phillip, Verdine, the horns, the licks, DAMN!!!!

On Your Face - 9 of 10 - Probably the most overlooked jam in EW&F history. I think I heard it on the radio once in the past eight years. Hot, mid-tempo, party-compatible joint with a message and top-notch vocals.

Imagination - 9 of 10 - Beautifully crafted selection headed by the great Phillip Bailey with soaring choral background vocals.

Spirit - 7 of 10 - Reflective and artistic song that could be considered a dedication to the late Charles Stepney. Slow tempo causes the album to sag a little here.

Saturday Nite - 9 of 10 - Red-carpet jam for the club-hoppers, created in the same vein as "Shining Star". Charges the album back up some. I'm sorry, I love it when Maurice throws that exaggerated twang onto his voice. For more, see "Mighty Mighty" and "Yearnin' Learnin'". Don't get down wit' the roach, though.

Earth, Wind & Fire - 10 of 10 - Hovering introspective cut, which adds meaning to the group's name. Calls for everyone to find a spiritual focus. Excellent vocal work from 'Reece.

Departure (Interlude) - 10 of 10 - Despite Maurice's advanced skills on the kalimba, this is a simplistic interpretation of the group's journey to their own inner spirits. I even taught myself how to play this on the kalimba!

Biyo - 9 of 10 - Another one of EW&F's well-known studio jazz sessions, but with a futuristic edge. Not quite as memorable as "Runnin'" or "Africano", but still raises their instrumental game.

Burnin' Bush - 10 of 10 - EW&F's heavy shout out to gospel music. Crisp and still authentic. You almost wouldn't care if the song never ended.

EXTRA TRACKS - 6 of 10 - I don't drink coffee, but I just wanna get a cup, kick back and listen to "Seraphim", except it's not long enough. An extended version of "Saturday Nite", and short acappella "Imagination", and a might-as-well-be-one-long-song "Departure (The Traveler)" and "African Symphony", which is the extended version of the "Departure" interlude are not enough to make you feel like you are getting much extra.

Anyway, despite proclaimed lack of commerciality at the time, Spirit was and is high-quality music and any recording artist that existed when this classic dropped in '76 would have been ecstatic to have their name associated with this masterpiece in any way. Cop this for true EW&F essence.

5 out of 5 stars See What Imagination Can Do?.......2003-10-15

Earth,Wind & Fire is not only the name of one of this album's best songs but is a statement of intent for a band now
throughlly blending earthy funk,breezy jazz-pop and firey playing
all at once.And here they turn a disadvantage into an advantage
by using the gospel-soul of the tital song as a tribute to the
now deceased arranger Charles Stepney.But that isn't all that's
good here,see!"Getaway" is a classic that DESERVES it's hit
status while "On Your Face" and "Saturday Night" are powerful jams out of the "Shinning Star"-school of all time "united" funk" classics."Imagination" recalls "Devotion" in it's smooth
funk feel and the instrumenatl "Biyo" comes to grips with a
disco-funk vibe.But whatever EWF are doing,especially here,nothing will dissappoint!

    3 out of 5 stars Missing one important band...........2004-12-01

    Great soundtrack, but in the movie you could hear Disco Tex and the Sexolets, but not on this.

    5 out of 5 stars Good To The Last Drop.......1999-09-21

    I've actually seen the film Spirit Of '76. Quite an interesting piece. With Characters such as Eddie "The Bonemaster", the film is certainly enjoyable. This album provides an awesome mix of funky tunes. It'll have you Kung-Fu Fighting, Takin' Care Of Business and doing The hustle for dessert. The huge variety is excellent for parties or that long drive home after work.

              This has to be the worst mix I have ever heard. The tracks are nailed together!! Whilst they represent the camp side of the 1980's the quality of the mixing is truly dreadful. This first album which dealt with Italo disco was fantastically mixed by Ben Leibrand. What the hell happened here!! Save your money and buy a decent unmixed compilation instead

              5 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM,SONGS, AND DONE BY GREAT ARTISTS!!!!.......2004-09-20

              THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM AND A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC. I LIKE THIS ALBUM . IT IS DONE BY SOME GREAT ARTISTS, SOME GREAT SONGS, AND IT IS VERY INSPIRING. AND THIS AN ALBUM THAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. MY FAVORITES ON HERE ARE: YOU BROUGHT THE SUNSHINE, RISN' TO THE TOP, OOH-CHILD, KEEP YOUR HEAD TO THE SKY, I WANT TO THANK YOU, RECHING FOR THE SKY, AND BACK IN STRIDE. IT MAINLY CONTAINS SOME GOSPEL MUSIC BUT IT HAS A FEW R&B SONGS ON HERE. BUT THE R&B SONGS BLEND IN WELL WITH THE GOSPEL SONGS BECAUSE THEY GIVE THE SAME MESSAGE.
