Line-up
The band's third album, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet style of previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort with a harder edge than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back reflected the maturation in the group. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing ability to play was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's work was more precise, sharper and less cloying than earlier performances.
After touring to promote their album, the band recorded their Amsterdam live show which was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set titled Falling In Between. A new studio album was released a few months later, and the band embarked on a long-distance tour in support of it. During this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.
