Discography

Line-up

The album's third, Turn Back, marked an reversion to the classic sextet format of previous albums and was a more powerful, consistent effort with a harder edge than Hydra. Its edgier sound was indicative of the maturation of group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's increased proficiency on the drums, as well as a more mature, confident vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work was sharper, more intricate and less cloying than previously recorded efforts.

After touring to promote their album, the group recorded an Amsterdam live show that was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. The group released a brand new studio album just a few months after and then embarked on a tour around the world to support it.

In 1998, Paich & Lukather began looking through old tapes and demos to discover songs that hadn't been recorded before.
