Line-up
The band's third album, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet format of previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort that had a harder edge than Hydra. The more experimental sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the growth of the band. Drummer Bobby Kimball's increased virtuosity was reflected by the vocal delivery of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was sharper, more intricate and less cloying than on previous performances.
After touring to promote their album, the band recorded an Amsterdam live concert that was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set entitled Falling In Between. The group released their new studio album a few months after and then embarked on a tour around the world to promote the album. During 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 exploring old demos and tapes in search of a new record featuring songs that had never been recorded before. It was completed as a double album titled Then And Now in 2001. It was the first album in the history of the band not to include one single track with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".
By 2003, Toto had begun to decline in popularity. The group's fourth album, Old Is New, was a commercial flop and vocalist Williams was suffering from a serious laryngitis condition which hampered his singing. Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.
Downes and the other original members of Asia--Wetton, Palmer, and Howe--convened a meeting in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility of reforming the group. This lineup, minus Howe who was busy with Yes at the time, was renamed Toto XIV. They toured extensively.
