Line-up
The album's third, Turn Back, marked a return to the classic sextet format of previous albums. It was a stronger, more consistent effort with an edge that was stronger than Hydra. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the growth of the band. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing proficiency was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had grown more confident and mature. David Paich's keyboard skills were also sharper, more complex, and less derivative on previous efforts.
After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live performance in Amsterdam that was released as a two-CD set titled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released shortly after, and the band embarked on a long-distance tour in support of it. 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 searching through old demos and tapes in search of a new record featuring songs that were never recorded before.
