Released: May 1995 / Produced by: Toto
Choppy, overlong and ballad-laden follow-up to Kingdom Of Desire, once again released on an indy label in US. Notable for accomplished Simon Philips' studio debut as drummer.
After promising opener "Gift of Faith" (press "next" at 5:30 to avoid one of the most repetitive pointless outtros ever), Tambu kind of lulls the listener with mid-tempo tracks that aren't all that bad ("I Will Remember," "Slipped Away") until you realize you're half asleep by track 8. David Paich lead vocal meter: 1/2 song. Highlights: groovy "Time Is The Enemy," shredding "Drag Him To The Roof," infectious ballad "The Road Goes On," and jazz-fusion ripper "Dave's Gone Skiing" (whew!). Can be programmed into a much more effective album simply by avoiding about 5 songs. Additional vocals by Jenny Douglas-McRae and John James, who toured with band to curtail loss of Kimball and Williams vocal range. For Toto aficionados only.
