Description
Legendary band Asia released the biggest selling album in the world in 1982 and is known for its worldwide hit HEAT OF THE MOMENT. The original line-up of the band reunited in 2006 and recorded the first studio album of it's reunion in 2008 with Phoenix. This album features: Geoff Downes (YES / The Buggles)/Steve Howe (YES)/Carl Palmer (ELP)/John Wetton (King Crimson / UK). The Phoenix album gave rise to the hit AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE, which has been played all around the world, including as the theme to America's Got Talent advertising. The re-issue collects together the original European version of the album, the two bonus tracks AND the US only remix into the same place for the first ever time! The artwork is housed in a six panel digipack to match the rest of the Asia reunion era catalogue. The artwork is by Roger Dean. This release is the first on the band's own Asia MUSIC LTD imprint.

I really liked this album, although XXX was the best of the reunion albums.

Not sure there's enough reason for me to buy it again.

If I have the US mix already, what is the European version? Marginally different I assume.

I wonder if all the Frontiers albums are now the band's and they are just reissuing the back catalog since 2008.
