"Electric Universe" is a curious footnote in the Earth, Wind & Fire discography, a slick, synth-heavy dance-funk album recorded in a period of significant lineup changes for the band.
- The album was co-produced by Maurice White and guitarist Al McKay. It marked a shift towards a more electronic sound, incorporating synthesizers and drum machines prominently. "Electric Universe" charted at number 134 on the Billboard 200.
- The album was the band's final release with the ARC/Columbia Records label. It featured the singles "Let's Groove" and "Fall In Love With Me". "Electric Universe" was notably the first EWF album not to feature long-time members, the original Earth, Wind & Fire horn section.
- The album was recorded at the Automatt studio in San Francisco and at George Massenburg’s studio in West Los Angeles. It was a commercial disappointment compared to previous EWF albums, failing to reach the Top 40 of the Billboard 200.
Earth, Wind & Fire are a Grammy-winning band, formed in Los Angeles in 1969. They are known for their groundbreaking fusion of soul, funk, jazz, disco, and R&B. In 1983, the band released "Electric Universe" following their previous album "Powerlight".
