AQUA

ASIA Renaissance! Alpha, and especially Astra weren't at the level of the first self-titled album, and by 1992, ASIA had disappeared from the music map. However, the newcomer John Payne breathed new life, and this wonderful album is the result. The album doesn't have a weak track, but for me the highlights are "Heaven on Earth", "Someday", "Don't Call Me", "Who Will Stop The Rain" and the two instrumentals entitled "Aqua" part 1 and 2, respectively. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who liked the ASIA debut album, but they took the sound further, into the new decade with Aqua.
