Asia is described as a 'supergroup', which, when you look at it's pedigree, it certainly was. Unfortunately IMHO the whole fell short of the sum of it's parts. Made up of two members of Yes, Steve Howe and Geoff Downes, lead vocalist and bassist from King Crimson John Wetton and Carl Palmer, the 'P' from ELP, that should have been enough, but they never really did it for me the way other 'supergroups' did - think obviously Cream, Humble Pie etc. This debut eponymous album does have 'Heat of the Moment' so it gets the popular vote for a charting single.
