I had no idea this existed. Maybe you did...?

Nor was I aware that Asia had been raiding the back catalogs of their members' former bands. That said, this is a pretty tasty take on Rendezvous 6.02.

Yeah, that was part of the hype with the latest tour, that they would in fact be raiding the back catalogues of the members' former bands. This may be in response to the not-uncommon claim that Asia has so much prog talent and background, but has chosen to pursue the pop. Or maybe the guys were really looking for a more serious musical challenge.

Now if we could get Downes to cover Moraz for any Relayer songs on the 08' tour. ;)

Very Good. ( the onlything not was the '80s collar Wetton was wearing ;) )

The song is gorgeous in spots.

I liked the Wetton DOwnes release icon.
