Asia-Phoenix (2008)

In 2008, the founding members of Asia reunited to record and release the album "Phoenix", a high-quality work that clearly showcased the talent of its four members, both creatively and instrumentally. Thus, after several years away from recording, John Wetton, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, and Geoff Downes returned with a work full of vibrant and intense tracks. Tracks like the catchy opening track "Never Again", the melodic "Heroine", the solid rock anthem "I Will Remember You", and the progressive "Parallel Worlds" and "Sleeping Giant-No Way Back-Reprise" made up a good album with an accessible sound very close to the AOR style, but with that unmistakable progressive touch resulting from Howe's guitar and Downes's exuberant keyboards, along with Wetton's excellent vocals and Carl Palmer's powerful and devilish drumming.
