Toto IV

Contemporain de Vivaldi, Telemann et Bach (qui naquit quand même dix ans plus tard), Louis-Nicolas Clérambault (1676- 1749) fut le plus illustre représentant de sa famille dans laquelle on était musicien de grand standing de père en fils, depuis Louis XI… En 1710, Louis XIV fut si content d’une de ses cantates qu’il lui ordonna d’en composer plusieurs pour le service de sa chambre, et le nomma surintendant de la musique particulière de Madame de Maintenon.

The album contains exactly these songs in their original version. Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Status Quo. Asia, Uriah Heep … are the perfect preparation for the concert and also to a completely successful rock sampler.

Ondekoza (鬼太鼓座) ("demon drum group"), sometimes referred to as "Za Ondekoza", is a Japanese troupe specializing in taiko drumming. Founded in 1969 by Den Tagayasu, in Sado Island, Japan. Ondekoza was influential in the rise of the kumi-daiko (group taiko) style of taiko. Not a taiko player himself, Tagayasu helped transform taiko from a festival-based music form to a virtuosic performance art performed on stage. Ondekoza's performances in North America in 1975 was the first exposure for many and helped spread interest in taiko through North America. The now widely recognized style of wearing only a 'shimekomi' ('fundoshi loincloth) was originally started by Ondekoza when Pierre Cardin suggested that the physique of the drummer be exposed. The traditional Japanese drummers do not play only in underwear. One of the keys to the group's success was the arrangement of traditional melodies and styles into stylized, artistic musical pieces. This Box Set have been released in Japan by Audio Meister as # SACG-3005~10.

Turn up the volume and lose yourself in the timeless sounds of soft rock classics and unforgettable power ballads in this 3CD album, The Best Soft Rock Album In The World…EVER! Bringing together 59 hits from some of the most iconic artists of all time, including Bonnie Tyler, Toto, Journey, Cher, Thin Lizzy, Foreigner, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Chicago, and Lenny Kravitz.

Originally released in 1983, this album was recorded in between the 2 Toto albums "IV" and "Isolation", and includes most of the Toto band members, plus almost all the best studioperformers of L.A. at the time (Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg a.m.o). The songs are well written and powerfully recorded. The 2 best known songs are the title track "Taking A Cold Look" and "Alone". The last one was also released some years later by the band Heart, but I personally like this original version better. If you like the mid-80's AOR/Westcoast sound, this album is a MUST, and the sooner you buy it, the better - for you!
