Description

Several TOTO compilations have been available for the past years. Most of them were poorly compiled or suffered from both uninteresting bonus material and weak sound (especially the erratic "Past to Present"). The "Essential Toto" gets it almost right: The double disk version covers all phases of the band selecting their best songs from their studio records and gains additional points for sound quality. There a few miss outs most regrettable the fine instrumental "Anthem" from their debut, but the overall selection of songs is OK and representative of their oeuvre. The compilation allows not onlymore… to listen to the songs TOTO is best known for (from their self-tiled debut and the Grammy-loaded VI), but showcases also more recent efforts, some of which (especially songs from XX and Tambu) despite less airplay and chart success compare well to their old material from their most successful period in the 80's. . Another minor regret is the track order. Why can't anyone provide a chronological order of songs on a collection that is meant to illustrate the history and thus the musical evolution of a band? In summary: The 2CD edition of "Essential Toto" is by far the best overview and introduction to TOTO currently available with respect to both sound quality and selected tracks.
