HI,
I am a huge fan of Toto. I do have most of their records and have been using some of their stuff to mix and master my forthcoming album. Toto IV, Fahrenheit, Kingdom of desire and Mindfields are my favorite ones.
George, Elliot and Clearmountain did their records, right?
Probably this is one of the main reasons they are great sounding CDs.Of course they are great players and composers.
However, I hear some L2 crappy symptons probably due to the squeezed mastering on some songs at Mindfields.
There are some songs at this very same album that the bass is aburdly loud and all you see are red lights on most of the time. No much dynamic range in there. If you compare to Fahrenheit and Toto IV, which are much quieter albums, you miss the old dynamic days.
I also do not think they would make a bump at 35 and cut 100, really does not make sense. Also, small speakers would probably have a big difficulty translating such frequency range properly as you pointed out. Plesae someones correct me if I am wrong.
The songs "Rosanna" and "I will be over you" are one of the most played songs in FM stations until recent days.
Lea, Africa, Love is on the line, Stranger in town, Hollyanna were greats past success here in Brazil also.
