Discography

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album it was an attempt to return to the classic sextet format, and it was a more consistent, more powerful album with a sharper edge. Its more punk-rock sound was a reflection of the maturation of the group and featured drummer Bobby Kimball's greater proficiency on the drums, as well as an improved, mature vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard skills were also sharper, more complex and less akin to previous recordings.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live show in Amsterdam which was released as a set of two CDs entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out a few months later, and the group embarked on a world-wide tour in support of the album. In this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich, and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family.

In 1998, Paich and Lukather started searching through old tapes and demos for a new record featuring songs that had never been recorded before. It was completed in the form of a double-album called Then and 메이저사이트 (Saveyoursite.Date) Now in 2001. It was the first album by the band without a single song titled "A".
