Man, has anyone picked this up yet? It is SO good to hear the original band back together (especially sans Pat Thrall. His guitar sound just drove me nuts) sounding spectacular.
Excellent version of "Fanfare For The Common Man" and a pretty good one of "Roundabout". Not as good as the original, but still very nice. A definite highlight from this year so far. E -------------

I'm going to pick it up this weekend. My brother just saw Asia in Chicago this past Thursday.
He said the show was excellent. They played for almost two hours, and then hung around to sign autographs. My brother stayed around and got two posters signed by all four group members. One for him, and one for me. That's kind of nice. The concert was well attended, no mosh pit, no fighting, an older crowd mostly. I wanted to go, but I had to pass. Sounds like I missed a great show. He also recommends the Fantasia disc. ------------- Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding. |

Well worth it, in my opinion. Their version of "In The Court Of The Crimson King" is awesome.

They just played here in Detroit... In a radio interview with a local DJ, Steve Howe said that they have a lot of new material and a new album might be coming soon. ------------- Twenty men crossing a bridge into a village, are twenty men crossing twenty bridges into twenty villages.

Well, I bought it later than I thought I would. Just picked it up last Tuesday. It was worth the wait.
Excellent version of In the Court of the Crimson King. Great versions of the biggest Asia hits, and a very good Roundabout. A nice surprise is Ride Easy, which isn't easily found on disc from what I understand. This is a nice disc to have in the collection if you like Asia. Recommended. ------------- Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding. |
