We are pleased to report that the band have entered the recording studio to begin work on their first full studio album together since ALPHA in 1983. Sessions are expected to continue during breaks from their busy touring schedule.
OK, I might be on the hook to buy a few copies here. But do you still want it if it sucks as bad as I think it will?
PS - Asia is coming to Portland Tuesday August 21. I will be there to pen a review. Maybe they will bust out some of this new material!? I am cautiously interested...

Dude,
I will only hold you to buying me a copy if it is at least better than a little lame, whatever that means...
They will be doing a show here in New Brunswick, NJ the end of June at a theater that holds maybe 1500-2000 people. I guess their audience is becoming more select...
I bet they will rock. Carl Palmer is freeking great. It's just that John Wetton is such a hack and I am not sure Steve Howe has a pulse. We'll see. I may be seriously wrong on this!
I'm curious to hear what they come up with. Sometimes when a band walks away from the scene for a while, they can get a second creative wind and surprise the hell out of me (e.g. Vapor Trails).
What do you think they will call it? Until it actually comes out, I'll call it Asia "Apocryphal."
Your offer to buy your loyal readers (all 3.14 of us) a copy of the album is generous...but I'll interpret it as a symBLOGic (ouch) gesture :)
