Title: AVOID this CD - This is NOT the real ASIA from the 80's
Review: It may be a cheap disk, but they should pay us to suffer through it. It's a live disk, so I expected sound and performance quality to not be up to studio album standards, but this was REALLY BAD. The audio quality sounds like it was recorded on one of those old mono cassette recorders. The vocal and musical performances are abysmal. I don't know if John Payne has any talent - but he has no business trying to sing these songs. Not only does he not sound anything like John Wetton, this is closer to screeching.It wasn't until after I bought it and was astounded at how bad it was did I look up the band's post 80's history. In all fairness - shame on me for a $6 impulse purchass. The original band is back together (as "ASIA" vs. this disks "Asia featuring John Payne" mess).All appologies to the members of this Asia impersonator group if you happen to read this - nothing personal - but you really suck at recording the original guys' music.
Is the review positive or negative?
