The chords, rhythm, and instrumentation are AWESOME!! I want everyone to appreciate the creativity put in to this masterpiece. Some may only hear the final product, but I can hear all the gears turning baby! And it's FUNKY!! This isn't one person on a synthesizer - synthesizing drums and music. This is a REAL band with individual talents making a baby in your EAR!
Who and where are the 3 people who disliked this video? Do you not realize that this was video in its infancy? Talent is talent regardless of the technology. Thats why real entertainers sound as good live as in the studio, and non talented hacks sound bad in the studio and WORSE live!
O.K. ... I knew that the album "Electric Universe" was clearly from 1983, but I've always been confused to sometimes read -here and there- that "Powerlight" was from 1983 too...Now, I understand...
@pr1978 You are right on. Maurice White set such a high standard in terms of production, there will never be another group with the kind of chops EWF had.
There are two versions of the song with different endings, personally I like the one with the horns getting stronger and stronger, the one with the musical breakdown is good too.
una de las mejores canciones a mi ver yo tenia once años de edad cuando la sacaron y veia a mis primos mas grandes y se me kedo grabado y me sigue gustando ya tengo 39 y aun la escucho que tiempos de la buena musica

This is one of their coolest graphics videos. I have been a EWF fan for 35 years and they put on some good mystifying shows back in the 80s! They blew you away with their sound and magic!! Still my favorite group to this day!! Love you guys!!
@pr1978 The horn arrangements on their albums is legendary as well. This is quite simply a product of one of the the most influential groups ever assembled.
Better music, from a better time..everything's so grim and depressing these days
