***The album was previously titled 'Elevated'.

***The first single "Show Me The Way" is currently being played on the radio,but the album version is over 8 minutes long (!).

***The album is due in March.

looks a bit "patchy" to me with all those guests... oh well, let's just hope for the best

Yeah,I don't really like the idea of having all those guest stars,and all these different producers.And I'm praying that this album isn't too hip-hop sounding.I understand the need to "update" their sound a little,but I still want it to sound like Earth Wind and Fire.

Wasn't this thing supposed to be out already?

It was originally due in October 2004,then they changed the date to February,and now it's been delayed again until March.

I thought so.

Because everyone needs a laxative now and then?

The CD was originally titled 'Elevated'.Oddly enough,they changed the title to 'Illumination' even though there is no song here with that title,lol.But the song "Elevated" remains


An earlier tracklist listed songs with titles like "Autumn","Happiness" and "Illumination" but I guess those tracks (if they really exist) didn't make the final cut.

The track with Kenny G.appears on his own album,which is a collection of duets.For some reason,EW&F decided to add it to their own album as a bonus track.
