ASIA
With no Asians in the band, these white rockers possibly chose their name
as a reflection of their epic, big-sounding rock songs (their hairdos
also stopping short and bordering on being pretty "big"). The combination
of members from a range of successful rock groups like Emmerson
Lake & Palmer, Yes
and Uriah Heep
was a formidable one, launching the band as an 80s super group. Their
sweeping track, Heat Of The Moment still stands tall as a landmark
rock song filled with all the right nuances and audio textures to grab
any listener - bypassing its timeframe. The 17 songs amassed for this
Masters Of Rock release pays well deserved tribute to an impressive
project which, like many others, offered the world a new angle by coming
together from other groups to create something new and memorable. 10 million
album sales later it is unlikely for Asia to dwindle in the ashes of time.
