The Band Toto Asia

Dhaniram Toto recorded Toto words to ensure that the future generation could be able to read the words. Many words were replaced with foreign ones. For example, dui, which is Bengali for verandah, was being used.

Origins

Incorporated in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's growth. In the beginning, Toto made goods to meet the demand for modern, contemporary urban housing. It was the first tunnel kilns in the country that could produce ceramics continuously.

In the late 1980s, the company began to expand 안전놀이터 순위; Maps.google.bg, overseas in order to take advantage of sales and new markets. It created the Cera Trading Company, importing and selling other manufacturers' products to complement its own line of sanitary earthenware and plumbing fittings. This strategy boosted sales and increased the company's market share in the world.

In the late 1990s, 토지노 커뮤니티 Toto had shifted its focus to research and development of water-related household appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and boost profits. The company implemented a just-in-time approach to supply chain management and used the same approach in its sales strategy. This resulted in a greater level of customer satisfaction.

Keyboardist David Paich, drummer Jeff Porcaro, and guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather all performed on the album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs. They also performed on albums by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.

Discography

With a name like Asia one would expect the group to be prog queens and kings - but it's actually a pretty straight forward rock group. The group was formed as a four-piece and released two albums in 1979, the self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The group has a wide musical background but their biggest success was in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster, but not without issues. Record companies put the band on the spot with the ultimatum "give us an album that's a smash or we'll take you off the market" and the pressure was on them to meet the deadline. Toto was able achieve this through the aid of the smash hit "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is the result of their prior experience. Before joining the group, the members worked as session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has since become the standard for '80s pop, influencing many modern artists.

The album opens with a strong and pounding sound with tracks like Running Out of Time and Unknown Soldier showcasing the bands ability to write great AOR songs that slowly get their hooks into your mind. The album also includes some slow, jazzier tracks like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album closes with Great Expectations. This song is a mix of folk and the distorted AOR that could appear completely unnatural, but actually works very well.

After Toto IV, the band's fortunes started to plummet. David Hungate left the band to pursue a solo career, and the band had a variety of drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in the aftermath of drug-related charges. However, the group continued to perform as a trio with Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Toto released Isolation despite the turbulence. It wasn't as popular as IV. The band was able to release an album that was chart-topping, Kingdom of Desire, in 1992. The album marked the end of the original Toto lineup and was the first to feature the new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album it was an ode to the classic sextet format, and it was a more consistent, more powerful album with a sharper edge. Its more punk-rock sound was indicative of the maturation of group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's improved proficiency on the drums, as well as an improved, mature vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard skills were as well more refined, more precise and less akin to previous efforts.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live performance in Amsterdam that was released as a two-CD set entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released just a few months later and the group went on a long-distance tour to promote it. During this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and 토토사이트 순위 bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.

It was the band's first album that did not contain the single track "A". The album also contained an previously unreleased track called "Kari-Anne".

The group's fourth record, Old Is New was a commercial failure and vocalist Williams was suffering from laryngitis, which limited his singing ability. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

Downes and the other original members of Asia - Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of formally reforming the group.
