Origins

Incorporated in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's growth. In the early years of its existence, the company manufactured products to meet the demands of modern and contemporary urban housing. To achieve this, it used the first tunnel kiln in the country to produce ceramics in a continuous flow. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, allowing for more efficiency and consistency.

The company began expanding overseas in the latter part of the 1980s to profit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and sell other products from other manufacturers to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy boosted sales and increased the company's market share in the world.

In the 1990s, Toto had shifted its emphasis to research and development of household appliances that use water. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and to increase profits. The company used the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction.

They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name like Asia one would think that the group would be prog kings and queens - but it's actually a fairly straightforward rock band. The group began as a quartet and recorded two albums - 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. However, even though the group have a wide range of musical backgrounds their biggest breakthrough was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a major blockbuster, but it was not without its problems. Record companies placed the band on the spot with the ultimatum "give us a hit record or we'll drop you" and the pressure was on them to meet the deadline. Toto was able achieve this feat with the help of the smash hit "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their previous experience. Before forming the group, members were session musicians for artists like Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their sonic signature has since become the standard for '80s pop, influencing many modern artists.

The album begins hard with songs like Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write fantastic AOR songs that slowly sink into your head. The album also has some slower, more jazzy tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations. This song is a mix of folk and distorted AOR, which should sound completely wrong but actually works very well.

After Toto IV the band's fortunes began to wane. David Hungate left to concentrate on his solo career and the band was through various drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the group in the wake of drug charges and the group continued to perform as a trio featuring Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Despite the turmoil, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation that was not as successful as IV. However, the group had a successful chart-topping album in 1992, Kingdom of Desire.

Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet format of previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the development of the group. Bobby Kimball's growing proficiency was evident in the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more refined, sharper and less cloying than earlier efforts.

After touring to promote their album, the group recorded an Amsterdam live concert that was released by Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The studio album came out just a few months later and the band embarked on a long-distance tour to promote the album. In this time, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and Lukather started exploring old tapes and demos for a new album featuring songs that were never recorded before. The album was released in the form of a double-album called Then And Now in 2001. It was the first album in the history of the band not to feature any single song that had the word "A" in its title and it included one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth record, Old Is New was a commercial failure and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis that restricted his singing capabilities. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the original members of Asia, met in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be revived. This lineup, minus Howe (who was busy with Yes at the time) was later referred to as Toto XIV and toured extensively.

In 2010, the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, 토토사이트 추천 including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin.
