This mini CD “Bottom Of Your Soul” is brought on the market by Frontiers Records, and this as a little extra for the fans and as a forerunner for the European part of the Toto ‘Falling In Between’ tour. There are four songs on this disk : two versions of “Bottom Of Your Soul” and two live tracks which have not been issued before. In one track, the same “Bottom Of Your Soul” is assimilated in a medley. The radio edit version is the short version of this song which is - unfortunately - being made for radio stations out of commercial point of view. “Gypsy Train” is a live recording taken at the Gampel Festival in Switzerland in August 2004. An enthusiastic Toto machine can be heard who really likes to play and rocks like ever before. It is a pity that the recording was not mastered any better at the production so that the sound is rather raw. The medley “Africa/Rosanna/Bottom Of Your Soul” was recorded during the ‘Wetten Das!?’ TV program in Germany. This recording is spotless and the sound has a high quality but I do mind the poor vocal qualities. It seems as if the singer was not in the mood or else he was not able to hear himself sing in the monitoring. Several times, the songs are sung false, especially in “Africa”. The last track is the Album Version of “Bottom Of Your Soul” which is well known by most of the Toto fans in the mean time. Whether someone is really waiting for this mini CD is the question. It might be a great collector’s item for the real Toto fans, but it does not seem like a real supplement to the collection
