The "Earth" album contains a wide range of styles and feelings, as if Vangelis was trying to find his style and sound, to follow up the Aphrodite's Child successes with something more of his own. A number of progressive rock songs with experimental and fusion elements are mixed with Greek flavours, and melodies filled with romanticism, seemingly predicting the flair in Vangelis' later output. Contributing musicians include Anargyros Koulouris and Robert Fitoussi, while Warren Shapovitch provided a narration on two songs. Note that Fitoussi - with whome Vangelis worked on other occasions as well, some results released, others not - became famous in his own right as "F. R. David" in the eigties, singing the synth pop hit "Words Don't Come Easy".
