Origins

This strategy boosted sales and expanded the firm's market share in the world.

In the 1990s, Toto began focusing on research and development for water-related appliances. It also redesigned its system of distribution to better serve its customers and boost profits. The company employed the same just-in time approach in its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a higher level customer satisfaction.

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

Discography

With a name like Asia one would think that the group would be prog kings and queens but they're actually a pretty straight forward rock group. The band was initially four members and released two albums in 1979, the self-titled debut album and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. Although the band have a wide range of musical backgrounds their biggest breakthrough was achieved in 1982 with Toto IV.

The album was a massive blockbuster, but it was not without its difficulties. Record companies put the band on the position with the order "give us an album that's a smash or we'll drop you" and the pressure was on to meet the deadline. Luckily for Toto they delivered and they did it with the help of the smash hit single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is a result of their prior experience. Before joining the group, members were session musicians for 토토사이트 모음 artists like Boz Scaggs. Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. Their distinctive sound has become the norm for '80s pop, influencing many modern artists.

The album starts out hard with songs such as Running Out of Time or Unknown Soldier that show the band's ability to write fantastic AOR tunes that slowly creep into your head. The album also has some more mellow, jazzy tracks, like The Little Things and Chinatown. The album concludes with Great Expectations. This song mixes folk and distortion AOR which could appear completely unnatural, but actually works extremely well.

After Toto IV the band's fortunes began to wane. David Hungate left the band to focus on his solo career. The band had several drummers. In 1984, Bobby Kimball left the band following drug-related charges. The band continued with Michael Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Michael Porcaro.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album is a return to a classic sextet structure, and it was a more consistent, more powerful effort with a harder edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the growth of the band. 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 was more refined, sharper and less cloned on previous performances.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live performance in Amsterdam which was released as a two-CD set entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released shortly after, and the group went on a long-distance tour in support of it. 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 demos and tapes in search of a new record featuring songs that had never been recorded before. The album was released in 2001 and released as a double album called Then and Now. It was the first album in the band's history that did not include a single song with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".

By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial failure, and singer Williams suffered from a bad case of laryngitis which hampered his singing. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming was replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.

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