Indeed - the very Best of Asia! All I can say is that I'm glad that I found this particular collection of the best of Asia! So many of their songs that I hadn't heard in a while still sound as good as they did 25 years ago! The musicianship is truly remarkable, and the producers did a great job in selecting the songs to include in this compilation. Truly one of the super groups of the 80's. By the way - they have been touring recently with the original lineup - Howe, Wetton, Palmer, and Downes. If you have a chance to catch them live, by all means - DO! They may be getting older (like the rest of us), but still know how to ROCK!
ASIA SOLE SURVIVOR! This is a excellent compilation of ASIA. One of the last groups that play progressive/pop/hard rock so well! The cd features 3 songs never included on a ASIA original albums. Enjoy!
i like this song it makes me think of my boy friend! i like this song, the last time i heard this it was during the 80's i am so glad that i found it again on yahoo. it makes me think of my boy friend. it has a great dance beat. if you liked this song you will like heat of the moment by asia. this is one great song to get!
Nice selection of songs, but buyer beware... This is a good compilation and the sound quality is nice. BUT, I noticed the remastering chopped off a few bars in "Sole Survivor" (very noticeable after the bridge) and "Time Again". I know those songs well and it jolted me a bit. There may be other cuts that I just haven't noticed yet.
If you are a purist, skip this and get the debut album separately. If you're looking only to replace your vinyl, this is fine.
Should we be ashamed to own this!? Last year I saw the movie "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and the band Asia and one of their songs were sort of a running joke in the movie. The lead character was harangued by his friends for having an Asia poster in his apartment. I was like, "Hey, what's wrong with Asia? I used to have one of their records!" I remember when Asia was pretty cool, but I guess now they are looked at with a laugh (as are many of the bands from the 80's). No matter, the music is still great. Certainly a lot better than some of the cuff-me-beat-me death metal on the radio today. Buy the CD, you won't be disappointed.
