After their tenure in Asia, band-mates John Wetton (King Crimson/UK/Uriah Heep/Asia/Wishbone Ash), and Geoffrey Downes (Buggles/Yes), performed and recorded as Icon and created a series of albums that have not been released in the US. These recordings are being brought to the US in a domestic offering by Abstract Records on September 2. The albums included are Icon, Icon Live: Never in a Million Years, and Icon II: Rubicon. These reissues will be sold at a budget price-point and will likely be snapped up before it is all done. Be sure to snag your copies before they’re all gone.

I have an import copy of the first Icon album and like it a lot.

From what I've read (I can't remember if it was here, the Asia web page, or the always terrific Dutch Progressive Rock Page), the pair will be working on a third Icon studio set during the break planned for Steve Howe's now cancelled Yes tour. Maybe that will evolve into another Asia album instead.
