ASIA is back! After 30 years, the masters of the '80s generation deliver another studio album from - and what for one! Hit rock guitar on keyboard beautiful rugs, to cool drums with John Wetton strong voice - back to the roots and yet again and again to invent ASIA! Were the previous albums but still very "gently", the new album features significantly "more rock", and thoughtful. Special Anspieltipps are "Bury Me in Willow" or "Faithful" which build up wonderfully and really "crash" at the end. ASIA wanted the album to celebrate a worthy anniversary and that's them quite successful - both "real fans" will take pleasure with the album, as well as "newcomers" good AOR's. For Limited Edition: The digipack contains 2 additional bonus tracks and a bonus DVD with a "Making Of Featurette" and 2 music videos "Face On The Bridge" and "Faithful". The only downside to the album - the sound quality. Unfortunately, you have probably turned up loud when mixing in some places - a bit annoying Crackling in the background spoils the listening experience, but at Asia has probably unfortunately never a lot of emphasis placed on quality when mixing - a pity! Otherwise an absolute buy recommendation!
