Dragon Attack 2CD Set Autographed by Geoff Downes
The band have sold well over ten million albums in a career spanning 20 years, but although the core of their support still comes from those who bought 1982's eponymous multi-Platinum debut.
'The musical concept of ASIA has always been to play music that is panoramic, symphonic and Rock at the same time' explains Geoff Downes.
For the uninitiated, ASIA formed in 1981 amid a fanfare of audience expectation and outright press vitriol. A union of former Yes men Steve Howe (guitar) and Geoff Downes (keyboards), ex-King Crimson/Uriah Heep/UK front man John Wetton and Emerson, Lake & Palmer sticksman Carl Palmer was the last thing the trend-conscious media could stomach.
However, the 'ASIA' debut topped the US charts for ten weeks, selling five million copies in the process and spawning such massive hits as 'Heat Of The Moment', 'Sole Survivor' and 'Only Time Will Tell'. Meanwhile 1983's successor, 'Alpha', also gave the world the Top Ten Hit 'Don't Cry', selling two million along the way.
Dragon Attack was recorded during 1990 and features the original members John Wetton on bass and vocals, Geoff Downes keyboards, and Carl Palmer on drums and percussion. Dragon Attack 'fly on the wall' recording capturing the band at their live best!
