Album Review

This marriage of four players with impressive pedigrees proved to be the success story of 1982 when Asia's debut lodged itself at the top of the U.S. album charts for two months. The album spawned a massive number four single in "Heat of the Moment," a follow-up Top 20 hit in the sweeping "Only Time Will Tell," and a handful of other tracks that received heavy radio play despite going against the grain of the new wave styling of the day. Produced by Mike Stone, Asia's strengths were the powerful vocals of John Wetton, the nimble, classically tinged guitar work of Steve Howe, Geoffrey Downes' majestic keyboard playing, and anchoring the band, Carl Palmer's propulsive drumming. The lyrics are overwrought at moments, but there's no denying the epic grandeur of the music, which provided some much-needed muscle to radio at the time, and did so with style.

Customer Reviews

Asia - Live at Budokan (1983)

Yes, Here Comes The Feeling is from "Asia - Live at Budokan (1983)" I do have rhe CD and that is Greg Lake from that concert.

Live and then

As the other reviewers have correctly deducted, "Here Comes the Feeling" is indeed from "Asia in Asia" with Greg Lake. I was lucky enough to actually record the concert on cassette since it was broadcast on the radio to give a stereo sound to the Mtv concert. So I know that song well as I have heard it may times. A complilation of "live" shows has never been a good example of a live album to me. I have always liked the highs and lows of a single concert recorded live. (a little post production is fine) But I prefer that it be all from one show.

Ok

A decent sound, an energized band...two vocalists, Lake and Wetton...two of the best so you can`t complain there. Not bad, really.

Biography

Formed: January, 1981

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

When they appeared in the early '80s, Asia seemed to be a holdover from the '70s, when supergroups and self-important progressive rockers reigned supreme. Featuring members of such seminal art rock bands as King Crimson (John Wetton), Emerson, Lake & Palmer (Carl Palmer), and Yes (Steve Howe), as well as Geoff Downes from the Buggles, Asia did feature stretches of indulgent instrumentals on their records. However, they also could be surprisingly poppy, and that is what brought them to the top...
