Comments: (****) Jon Anderson appears on the track "Stop Loving You" .
He has sort of a backing vocals solo in the middle section. As a whole
_The Seventh One_ is one of the most progressive albums Toto has
made in recent years, especially the final song "Home Of The Brave."
_Past To Present_ is a compilation album, and a long with the "Stop
Loving You" has all the eighties hits that Toto has made. It's not
surprising that Jon was asked to help out (note that Toto members
appear on Jon's _In The City Of Angels_ which were both made around
the same time) since toto has cited Yes as one of thier early influences.
