Title: Asia Minor
Product review: Okay, you have 25% of the group that released the excellent "Asia" album in 1982. But this record is not quite 25% as good as that album. Geoff Downes is a great musician and has written some great songs, and this disc has a couple of solid tunes (such as "Free"). There are more misses than hits by my ears, however. I was about to say that this band might consider a new name other than ASIA, but upon reading the credits, I'm not sure who is actually in the band. There are more musicians on this thing than in Asia (the Continent, that is!) Steve Howe stopped by to add a few notes onto a couple of the songs, but you don't feel his presence as in the original band.This one is for Asia completists only.
