An if-you-can't-beat-'em-join-'em merger of Yes, ELP, and King Crimson, Asia were prog-rock writ large. Turns out the boys haven't lost their touch with a glistening keyboard and FX-soaked vocal. The group's first new set in 25 years is a bonanza of classic prog motifs.
The acclaimed British progressive rock group ASIA has released Phoenix, its first studio album since 1983. Recorded by all four original members, Phoenix is released on CD and digitally by EMI America Records in North America and by Frontiers Records in the rest of the world. Since 1982, ASIA has sold more than 15 million albums globally. The band has announced a world tour to support the release of Phoenix, with U.S. dates confirmed for April and May.
