FAR CORPORATION

This group was formed by well-known producer Frank Farian (who would start Milli Vanilli) in the mid eighties. On this album several Scandinavian musicians joined forces with David Paich, Steve Lukather, => Simon Phillips and => Bobby Kimball. The single 'Stairway to Heaven' was a small hit in the U.K. In 1993 the second FC album was released: 'Solitude'. This album features Simon Phillips on drums and also contains two remixes of songs on the original album.
Rune Lied posted some information about who plays on "Stairway to Heaven" on the Toto mailinglist: I got this video called "Rock Classics" which includes Far Corporation with "Stairway to Heaven" and it's Curt Cress behind the drums. Luke is playing the acustic part in the beginning and the solo in the middle. Robin McAuley is singing from the beginning and Bobby comes in and sings on the second half and the high parts."
