Discography

You might expect a band with a name such as Asia to be a prog rock band, but it is actually a relatively straightforward rock band. The group began as a group and recorded two albums: 1979's self-titled debut and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The band has a varied musical background but their biggest success came in 1982 when they released Toto IV.

The album was a huge blockbuster but not without its difficulties. The record companies placed the band under pressure to release an album that was a success or they would rescind them. Luckily for Toto they delivered and they did it with the aid of the smash single "Africa."

Toto's musical mastery is due to their previous experiences in the music industry, as the band members had been session musicians for artists such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Seals and Crofts prior the group. Their sonic trademark has become the standard for '80s music, influencing many contemporary artists.

But the album also contains some more mellow, jazzy tracks, like The Little Things and Chinatown. 토토 꽁머니 closes with Great Expectations.

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

Despite the chaos, Toto forged ahead and released Isolation, which was not as successful as IV. However, the group was able to release a chart-topping album in 1992 with Kingdom of Desire. This album marked the conclusion of the original Toto lineup and was also the first album to feature a new singer, Simon Phillips.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was an ode to the classic sextet structure, and an even more consistent and powerful effort with a harder edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the growth of the band. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing proficiency was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard work was as well more refined, more precise, and less derivative on previous recordings.

After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live performance in Amsterdam which was released as a two-CD set called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released a few months later, and the group went on an extensive world tour in support of it. In this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and Lukather started searching through old demos and tapes in search of a new record featuring songs that were never recorded before. It was completed as a double album titled Then & Now in 2001. It was the first album by the band not to feature one single track with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously unreleased 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, which restricted his singing capabilities. In addition, Hungate returned to Nashville and drummer Leland Sklar was replaced by Shem von Schroeck.

Downes and the other original members of Asia - Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened an event in England in early 2006 to discuss the possibility of reforming the band. This lineup, minus Howe (who was working with Yes at the time) was eventually referred to as Toto XIV and toured extensively.

In 2010, the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin. The band also featured a guest appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
