ASIA s debut album exploded onto the worldwide music scene in April of 1982. It was the best selling album of the year around the globe. Featuring John Wetton (bass, lead vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), Carl Palmer (drums), and Geoff Downes (keyboards), ASIA was the logical successor to the member s collective bands of the 70s - Yes, ELP, King Crimson, UK and The Buggles. Thirty years after their eponymous debut ascended to the top of the BILLBOARD TOP 100 chart (where it remained number one for nine consecutive weeks), the legendary British rock band returns with a brand new studio album aptly titled "XXX". The new album, which is being hailed as ASIA s best album since its classic early 80s releases, will be released as a CD and collector s edition CD/DVD (featuring new music videos, including one for first single Face On The Bridge , and behind the scenes footage). Original artwork for XXX album courtesy of famed artist Roger Dean.
