A progressive rock supergroup? In the 1980s? Who would want such a
thing critics asked, as they immediately went on the attack. But
music fans disagreed. John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe and
Carl Palmer had played with the likes of King Crimson, Roxy Music,
Yes and ELP to name just a few and they lived up to the supergroup
tag. Asia's self-titled debut album went to number one for nine
weeks on the US charts, went top twenty in the UK and sold over ten
million copies worldwide. Asia was all over MTV, had a sold-out
world tour, several hit singles and a Grammy nomination. After
1983's Alpha album, Wetton left to be replaced, bizarrely by Greg
Lake was in, then Wetton was back and Howe was gone, replaced by
Mandy Meyer for Astra in 1985. Fans needed a scorecard to keep
track of it all, then the group split. Geoff Downes would struggle
to keep the flame alive with John Payne from 1991-2005 until the
original line up reunited in 2006 with newfound respect accorded
them by both the media and fans until Wetton's sad passing in 2017.
This book covers every studio album as well as key live albums,
compilations and solo projects in detail, making it a comprehensive
guide to the music of this enigmatic and ever-changing band.
