Asia was a progressive-rock supergroup that, ironically, signaled the death of classic progressive rock and its subsequent turning to join the undead army…

From the ashes of Yes, ELP and U.K. rose Asia. Be careful what you ash for…

The song that heated up more than a few car windows in the 80s. (It’s late, I’m tired.)

One of the most recognizable synth lines from the 80s, for better or worse.

This is where it became painfully apparent that Asia would not be carrying prog’s fallen banner.

Don’t cry, it’s just the end of another rock & roll dream as Asia released this downer.

And just when you thought there couldn’t be a weepier song than “Don’t Cry,” along came this.

I don’t know howe they managed it, but Astra is actually a better album than their last.

The band brought in new writers to finish the story of Asia and propped it up with footage from the first three albums.

[Kronomyth 5.0] Better Red Than Dead.

[Kronomyth 6.0] Rode Hard and Put Away Wetton.

You’ll find more power ballads and fist-pumping anthems on here, as John Payne grows more comfortable as the new voice of Asia.

Despite the title, this is the group’s most intimate album yet, featuring atmospheric production and new sounds.
