Another Time (Earth, Wind & Fire album)

Another Time is the twenty-second studio album by the American band Earth, Wind & Fire, released in 2014. It marked the band's first studio album in eight years, following 2005's Illumination.

The album consists primarily of previously unreleased tracks recorded by the band in 1972 and 1973, during their early period under the direction of founder Maurice White. These tracks were originally intended for release but were shelved at the time. The material showcases the band's evolving sound, blending elements of funk, soul, and jazz, and offers a glimpse into the band's creative process during their formative years.

While not comprising entirely new material, Another Time is considered a significant addition to Earth, Wind & Fire's discography as it provides fans with a historical perspective on the group's development and a collection of songs otherwise unavailable commercially for several decades. The album highlights the talents of the early lineup and features contributions from key members such as Maurice White, Verdine White, and Philip Bailey, among others. The album's release was generally well-received by fans and critics, who praised the rediscovered material and the band's commitment to preserving their musical legacy.
