Maurice White is back with a new line-up (exept his brother Verdine), recruiting saxophonist Ronnie Laws (brother of jazz flautist Hubert Laws), keyboardist Larry Dunn, percussionist Philipp Bailey among others, the definitive formation of the band during several years. "Last Days And Time" like its predecessors is a psychedelic soul album including short free jazz interludes, the latin Soul song "Mom" and the killer instrumental track "Power" sampled by Pete Rock for "Mind Frame" feat. Freddie Foxxx in 2001. The cover is designed by renowed artist Mati Klarwein also in charge of famous cover art for Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" album released in 1970.
