Touch the World (1987)

System of Survival

Home

System of Survival*** (Skylark): First single release from "Touch the World" is electronic funk at its best ala' Earth, Wind & Fire" style. Fast and furious tempo, deep synth drums, synth bass that is strategically placed, soulful rhythm guitars, clean yet effective brass (which I believe is synth brass overdubs), Front end keyboards, and the vocals are classic Earth, Wind & Fire. Maurice White and Philip Bailey mix it up as only they can. The icing on this jam is the sax solo near the end culminating with full synthesizers. System of Survival served notice that Earth, Wind & Fire was back with a vengeance.
