Far Corporation was a rock band assembled by German producer Frank Farian,
otherwise known as the man behind Boney M. The only real hit of Far Corporation
was a cover version of "Stairway to Heaven", released in 1985. The
album "Division One" includes the long (about 10 minutes) version of
the song.
Unfortunately, all other songs are completely worthless. We're talking landfill material.
Personally, I think Far Corporation's version of "Stairway to Heaven" is much better than Led Zeppelin's original (!), but that's me. Far Corp sound more respectable, civilized and well, Euro-popish. You might also consider checking out the shorter radio version of their cover song.
Since most of this album suck, I only give it three stars - all those stars are for "Stairway to Heaven", which by itself is worth something like 1,985 stars.
