This period is the most sought-after by audiophiles. The production bridges warm analog tape saturation with the clean attack of early digital.
The keyword ends in 2006, which coincides with their last "classic era" studio album before a long hiatus.
The first album without Jeff Porcaro (who tragically died in 1992, but this was his final studio work). It is heavier, bluesier. The guitar distortion on the title track has high-frequency harmonics that alias (break down) in MP3. FLAC preserves the "hair" on the guitar perfectly. Toto - Studio Discography -1978-2006- -FLAC-
The end of the road for this specific discography. This album is a progressive rock masterpiece. "Falling in Between" includes a percussion breakdown that changes time signatures every four bars. In FLAC, the decay of the ride cymbal, the attack of the piano stabs, and the growl of the distorted Hammond organ are utterly discrete. It is the perfect swan song.
