This album features some of the best ASIA themes played unplugged. The quality of recordings could have been improved, but it is different from any other album from Asia in a great way. Bob Richards creates an inmersive atmosphere with his percussion. This is a must-have, be sure to listen "Only time will tell". Should you like this album, get hold of their European 2005 tour single "Long way from home", which includes acoustic versions of "Silent Nation" and "Long way from home".

Nope, something is just not right here. This is soft rock, not prog at all. And taking it to acoustic dimension can't help it at all.

This music uses cheap tricks that you've heard many times before. "The Heat Goes On" uses one riff for entire track, combined with some better sounding addition.

This is basic formula how is it created, very poor foundnations, some good things in addition, but so weak, so little prog things. I can't recommend this even to rock fans, because of it's weakness. I wonder why is this artist here on PA, maybe for its supposed supergroupsity. I feel need for something more proggy.
