This band emerged in the wake of Shocking Blue's and Golden Earring's initial success. Both versions of Earth & Fire's first album had ambitious sleeve designs, the Dutch original came in a matchstick box cover (folding it open would display a row of matches) while the UK issue (on Nepentha with a different cover design by Roger Dean). Basically, this is a pop-rock album that has been somewhat overrated by collectors. The nine tracks are pleasant but lack variety and depth. The attempted heavy rock leanings on some tracks don't sound entirely convincing.
All subsequent albums would show that Earth & Fire's musical scope lay elsewhere. However, treated entirely as a pop-rock album (as opposed to progressive), you will find much to enjoy here. Tracks such as "Twilight Dreamer" and "You Know The Way" indicated what would soon follow.
Song Of The Marching Children (1971) was a more individual and dynamic album. "Carnaval Of The Animals" threads the backward path from Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", not daring to enter Wonderland but retreating back to early childhood's innocent world of fables and stories. Earth & Fire had become the Saint-Saens of the progressive rock world with their ad hoc approach and sweet melodies. Jerney Kaagman's voice had developed a feeble feminine charm serving the music well. The instrumental work may be compared to the prototype Focus (first heard on their track of the same name in 1970), with organ, flute and electric guitar (but also adding mellotrons) in dynamic arrangements. "Ebbtide" and "Storm And Thunder" display soft progressive rock at its most melodious and beautiful. The 18-minute title track was a more ambitious suite of smaller pieces. Atlantis (1973) followed the same path and was another great album.
Gradually the ambitions of Earth & Fire veered towards commercial pop music. To The World A Future (1975) was a disappointment and the subsequent albums were forgettable.
