I was doing some research on the interlude after "All About Love" and came here. I just wanted to say that I had no idea that the interlude was the changes from "Celebrate" backwards. Nor id I know that the interlude from "Gratitude" was the acapella from "Can't Hide Love" backwards. That was some great information and I'm glad I came here to find that out.
@billynunn, it's the ewf song celebrate backwards. He just did overdubs on the minimoog on a slower pitch and flipped the multitrack reels on the opposite side and this marvelous piece was born!
@billynunn I just found out that it is truthfully a song backwards, but i really didn't wanna know. I just wanted to continue to think Larry was a genius beyond my comprehension:-(
@yungatown "was" ? It still takes the same level of genius to hear this and compose around it ,so you should continue to think of Larry the same way, "celebrate" the comprehension !
You guys!! Everything will be ok. I'm making my brother do a cover of this and IT WILL BE LONGER. He will try to make it sound as much like this as possible if not better!! I will come back on here and tell you when he posts it. Might be a while.
When I listen to it, some of it sounds backwards. Side 2 of this album at the end is another rendition of this interlude with percussion added...it's tight!!!
Right before "All About Love" there's a shorterversion of this interlude, the after "All About Love" is this version......THEN....at the very end of the other side of the album is the same thing, but with added percussion, chants and another way of say "We're The Shit"!!! this is the best assembled band in the history of music.
larry dunn is an underrated keyboard genius!!! actually this is right after "about all love" fades out at the end of side one on "that's the way of the world" Lp.......been wearing out copies of this since i was i young kid!!!
how did you know it was an overdub, you must have listened to it several times, this is ole school vinyl, yeah you' re hooked . Good work you're the man.
well I read in a old keyboard mag of him talking about how he did this song and how he overdub his mini, plus he said he figured this song out by reversing the EWF song Celebrate and played it out on the mini. Talk about creative juice. man i have 2 copies of this cause i love this album to death!!!
I hear people say that certain groups were ahead of their time but, some of the individual musicians in EWF were using techniques, and overlaying chords in ways that no other supergroups had done, then or ever.
yeah larry is ahead of his times, i have a friend that knows him well, and i spoke to larry a few times. Hes a joker and a real good comedian and very humble. I know of a keyboardis billy curry had connect s-trig 6 minimoogs for a 6 chord. back then people were supercreative like my fave herbie hancock and larry,,just to mention a few,,theres too many good 70s keyboard players, and may i say thats when keyboard players had a brain LOL.
@stillphil On point meaning the interlude was on point. But Thanks for the synth lesson, didn't know the obx came out that early, My first time seeing it was in the Van halen jump video.
Larry Dunn was the reason I started playing keyboards. He was an intricate part of EWF, writing, arranging & playing. Since he and Maurice left, the group will never be the same.
@afrosensuous You know you find out something NEW every day of your and while I've ALWAYS admired EW&F from early on, I never the guys' name was Larry Dunn and have had a crush on him for years when listening to the tunes they've (EW&F) put over the years! I knew it had to be something else apart from physical attraction that drew me to this guy and now after all this time 48 yrs old, I know why as he's a MASTER at his craft (music). Well, better late than never! GOD BLESS HIM, Larry's the bomb
i had the biggest crush on Larry dunn...back in the day i thought he was sooo damn fine!!!!! I just wanted to kiss those lips..I was young jail bait. lol
@renee6628 You and I both back in the day of 1976 as I was about 12 or 13 yrs of age and definitely jail bait to this guy but OOOOOH was he super fine or what? I remember looking at the latest EW&F album/LP cover at the time and seeing Larry Dunn (although I didn't know his name!) along with the rest of the band wondering who this handsome guy was and what a HUNK he was. Now I see I amongst a million other girls were wondering the same thing, huh? LOL!
You know when I first heard this, i kept rewinding it to figure out if this is real. Larry Dunn is a BEAST on them Keys! Thats why i wish i was born back in the day to see the best.
Yo!!! Check out his synth playing on the intro and breakdown of "Let Me Talk" from the FACES album. Track number one...He's playing so fast it's unreal. He's a monster man!!!
I dont know that s*** is rapid fire speed. My brother thought it was programmed. It was all him though. Yeah he kills on "Getaway" too. Just think he was 18 when he joined EWF.

Thanks billynunn and freein2339
It is indeed the changes of "season change they re-arrange..." backward
Much like how the mysterious acapella "aaah" interlude before 'Sunshine' is the "Aaah-aa-aaah" outro harmonies of Can't Hide Love ...BACKWARD.
EW&F is (even more) incredible (in 2011). wow.
