Reformed original lineup has two studio albums out now (Phoenix and Omega).

I actually like all three of the 80s records (Alpha the least), but I haven't heard a bit of anything that's been recorded under the name since...though, the reunion albums are really the only ones I'd be interested in anyway.

Omega is probably the worst thing Roger Dean has ever designed btw.

the new Yes cover is pretty terrible, as are most of his Yes work after ABWH. He is sleepwalking through crap these days, looks like he throws this shit together before eating his lunch and calls it done.

The new Yes cover is a billion times better than Omega, but its still pretty awful.

The first two were not at all bad, but generally, all those live albums would be rather uninteresting, and in fact, most of the stuff they did after the original lineup fell apart.

I think Asia, in a way, might not have been served well by their name and by the Roger Dean covers. Both of those things are actually quite charming, but it creates an impression that maybe differs from the reality of Wetton/Downes as songwriters. Their songs strike me as being very kind of human. Down to earth.

The songs from Astra on this list sound really nice. Geoff Downes is seemingly always delightful to hear.

That's not to say that branding themselves as something more human and down to earth would have worked better. There IS something "Asia" and Roger Dean about their music.

to answer the original thread question: no money, just one free production job from Trevor Horn!
