More Info:
One of many gold albums from the group, this tour de force from 1974 features the #1 hits "Higher Plane" and "Rhyme Tyme People" and the original "Summer Madness." Digitally remastered and on CD for the first time; includes all original artwork.Reviews:
''Light of Worlds'' is the seventh album released by Kool & the Gang, released on January 1, 1974. It was later remastered by Polygram and was a second success for the band, reaching the R&B Charts at #16 and the Pop Charts at #63. It was a landmark in the funk/jazz fusion genre of the 1970's.
''Light of the Worlds'' was by far Kool & the Gang's most spiritual and sophisticated work, produced in the wake of the success of their previous album, ''Wild and Peaceful''. While it was their seventh album of new material, the Gang considered ''Light of the Worlds'' their ninth LP (counting two compilations), and therefore consciously chose nine songs for the album, to represent the nine planets in the solar system. The album contains rock-inspired funk set to jazz-informed playing with afrobeat influences and a tinge of analogue synthesizing.
"Summer Madness" is considered to be the album's highlight, incorporating smooth melodies and a mesmerizing synthesizer. It was later released as a single, with a follow up titled "Winter Sadness" to the Gang's ''Spirit of the Boogie'' a year later. A remake of "Summer Madness" was released on the Gang's 1993 album ''Unite'' titled "WKOOL/Summer". - Wikipedia
