Asia - Then & Now
Review by Greg Olma
This is an odd release for Asia. After the departure of Steve Howe and the lackluster reception of Astra, the band broke up without a lot of fanfare.

Darkfish - Beyond
Review by Gary Hill
I’ve landed this under progressive rock, but it’s more because prog fans will be the most likely audience than it is about the album being actual prog rock.
