Discography

In 1984, Bobby Kimball was fired from the band in the after he was charged with drug abuse. the group continued to perform as a trio featuring Michael Porcaro and Steve Lukather.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album is a return to a classic sextet structure, and a more consistent, stronger effort that had a more grittier edge. Its more punk-rock sound was a reflection of the maturation of the group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's improved proficiency on the drums, as well as a more mature, confident vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, sharper and less cloying than previously recorded performances.

After touring to promote the album, the group recorded a live show in Amsterdam that was released as a two-CD set called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. A new studio album was released a few months later, and the band embarked on a world-wide tour 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 & Lukather began searching through old tapes & demos to find songs that had never been recorded prior to. The album was released as a double album titled Then and Now in 2001. It was the first album by the band that did not include a single song with the word "A" in its title. It also included one previously not released track, "Kari-Anne".

Additionally, Hungate returned to Nashville, while drummer Leland Sklar was 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 officially restructuring the band. The lineup, which was minus Howe (who was busy with Yes at the time), eventually became known as Toto XIV and toured extensively.

In 2010, the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and 토토 꽁머니 multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin. The band also featured a guest appearance by singer Michael McDonald, and a backing singer named Mabvuto Carpenter.
