Origins

Discography

You would expect a group with a name such as Asia to be a prog band, but it is actually a fairly straight forward rock band. The group started out as a quartet, and they recorded two albums - 1979's self titled debut, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. But even though the band have a wide range of musical backgrounds their biggest hit was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a major blockbuster, but not without its own set of issues.

Luckily for Toto they did with the assistance of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is due to their prior experience, as the band members had been session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts before starting the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard of 1980s music, and has inspired a lot of contemporary artists.

The album begins hard with tracks like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to create great AOR tunes that slowly get into your head. The album also contains jazzier, slower tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. And the album ends with Great Expectations, a song that mixes folk with distortion AOR and sounds completely wrong, but actually works wonderfully well.

Line-up
