While no new Asia album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1997 tour in South America. ‘Asia Song From The Vaults CD1′ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. fourteen years ago, Asia briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Obsession”. Enjoy the show.
I can’t stop playing Obsession. I Can’t Wait A Life Time is possibly the best song Asia has come up. I like the idea behind Showdown. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Don’t Come To Me is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Reality is the more seemingly obscure song on Asia Song From The Vaults CD1 that bear up best to repeated listening. The sound in A.L.O. is really warm and Asia’s signature voice is still very much present. Love Like The Video is one of these floating songs. The Smoke That Thunders motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Asia Song From The Vaults CD1 is Satellite Blues. In I Believe Asia is at his best. Lyrics of The Voice Of Reason (Live 1992) are precise and evocative.
