 Asia-Asia (1982) Geffen Records 1-Heat Of The Moment (3:54) 2-Only Time Will Tell (4:48) 3-Sole Survivor (4:51) 4-One Step Closer (4:17) 5-Time Again (4:48) 6-Wildest Dreams (5:11) 7-Without You (5:07) 8-Cuttin It Fine (5:40) 9-Here Comes The Feeling (5:40) Asia was a suprergroup of various members of progressive rock bands. Steve Howe from Yes, Carl Palmer from ELP, John Wetton from King Crimson, Uriah Heep and a bunch of others, and Geoffrey Downes from....The Buggles? Well, anyway, this isn't the epic prog-rock album you might think it is. Instead what we have here is an enjoyable pop-rock album with lots of catchy choruses and hooky songs. The first three songs are the best,and there a few tracks that haven't aged very well, but for the most part this is a fun album with a great cover. This was also the best selling album of 1982, and it deserved to be. Favorite Tracks: Heat Of The Moment, Only Time Will Tell, Sole Survivor, Time Again |
You remember that scene in "The 40 Year Old Virgin" where they make fun of Steve Carell for having an Asia poster with that dragon in the water on it? Well, I must confess that I desperately want that poster... |
