I have been an Asia original lineup fan for several years and both of their new recordings were quite a surprise. Songs are somewhat slower than original versions. Steve does a splendid job; guitar in 'Roundabout' sounds better than Yes 70's versions. Carl takes a step forward and is more audible than he used to be. Seems time has not affected Geoff in the least. Although John sings fine his voice denotes he may be tired at times. Artwork is beautiful. Recording and sound are good, not flawless.
I purchased Fantsia Live in Tokyo double CD cause have LP's Viny of King Krimsom & Yes and Steve Howe has a reputation for being an excellent guitarist so bought Asia's first CD in Years Phoenix and wasn't disappointed and as for the double CD Live in Tokyo Good if you're a fan 3 and a half out of 5 .
