Great and (therefor ?) underrated Asia album, once again with a remarkable Roger Dean cover. Fine melodies, nice instrumental contributions and excellent vocals by John Payne. This is not the Heat-of-the-moment-Asia, but for those who don't know the album but are fond of progressive rock: this one should be in your collection for sure !
I don't know why, but I personally like very much the 2 instrumentals of this album: "Arena". These are the first and last tracks of the album. Am I the only one?! :)
The Album cover is a work of art !

Cover by Rodney Mathews. No Roger Dean.
Very nice. Great Melody right here from Asia as always. A very inspiring song.
Petit chef d'oeuvre avec des réminiscences Santana très agréables.
greetings from Romania.Nice sound. Long Live Asia
Actually, this album cover is by Rodney Mattethews. :)
Asia - is not only John Wetton or John Payne. First of all it's Geoffrey Downes. Magician of keyboards.
BEAUTY SONG...THE VOICE OF PAYNE EXTRAORDINARY

me.too ;)
I agree, and I find this album among their best
Asia albums cover might be like our afterworld experience still but a mystery.
The best!
R I P John Wetton
Agreed. I’m heartbroken that he’s gone.
Santana joined Asia
heaven
Почему так мало комментариев к этой неземной музыке? Соотечественники, неужели все погрязли в рэпе?

The noises in the beggining of Into the Arena are intentional?
I don't know what instrument it is but it's some sort of pitched percussion i think.
Reminiscent of lower octane Al DiMeola
