About
Far Corporation is a soft rock ensemble conceived by the renowned producer Frank Farian. This group is a unique blend of seasoned German session musicians and prominent rock artists, including members from the iconic band Toto. The lineup features Steve Lukather (guitar), David Paich (keyboards), Bobby Kimball (vocals), Simon Phillips (drums), and Robin McAuley (vocals). Formed as a quasi-supergroup, Far Corporation is noted for their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," which achieved chart success in the UK and the US. Their debut album, Division One, showcases a mix of original songs and covers, contributing to their soft rock repertoire.
How to Sound Like Far Corporation
Far Corporation's sound is characterized by its polished, melodic textures and the lush, harmonic layering typical of soft rock. Steve Lukather's guitar work provides a smooth, expansive feel, often employing effects such as the MXR M68 Uni-Vibe for rich, swirling tones, and the Strymon Brigadier dBucket Delay to add depth and ambiance. The keyboards, helmed by David Paich, deliver a full, cinematic quality, often using the legendary Yamaha CS-80 to create warm, analog synth layers. Together with Simon Phillips' dynamic drumming, which balances precision and flair, the band's music offers a sophisticated blend of rhythmic vitality and melodic richness, ideal for those looking to emulate the grandeur and subtlety of classic soft rock.
