As
a big fan of 80s ASIA this album comes as a real treat! Wetton/Downes
– the dynamic duo that immortalized ASIA as one of the UK’s main
exponents of AOR have released a bunch of albums with varying line-ups
but seem to have settled with their “homeland sound” here on this
new release. The music is utterly brilliant and really perfectly
executed in the classic ASIA tradition. Huge choruses, multilayered
vocal harmonies, string sections, orchestral parts etc. – Yup! It’s
all here…Even female vocal duels which really serve as a good new
element
You
really get the impression that they’ve nurtured this album like a
newborn child. Nothing seems left to chance. Everything seems so
professional that I tremble in awe! You really get carried away by the
grand compositions.
If
I didn’t know better I’d have guessed that this album was a secretly
recorded ASIA album from the late 80s! No compromising in terms of the
classic sound!
Every
80s nostalgic should check this one out! It’s really some of the best
AOR material I’ve heard in many, many years! Veterans back in action!
