ASIA To Release 'High Voltage' CD/DVD Package

June 16, 2014

Frontiers Records will release ASIA's newest live CD/DVD package titled "High Voltage" on August 22 in Europe and August 26 in North America. Recorded on July 24, 2010 at the inaugural High Voltage Festival in Victoria Park, London, this ASIA live CD/DVD captures the band, in the original lineup (featuring Steve Howe on guitar),performing classic material from the '80s, plus songs from the first two albums of its reunion, "Phoenix" and "Omega". The show was performed to an enthusiastic festival crowd, ready to hear ASIA's eponymous debut album — the world's biggest-selling album of 1982 — performed in its entirety for the first time in Europe. In fact, this remains the only video document of the original lineup performing the debut album in full.

This live CD / DVD is an irreplaceable companion to the original studio album and the reunion that saw the original members of ASIA return to and stay at the top of their game, this time in front of a "home audience."

"High Voltage" will be released in a glossy digipack CD/DVD digipack format with Roger Dean artwork.

ASIA's debut album exploded onto the music scene in April 1982, and was the best-selling album in the world of that year. Featuring Geoff Downes on keyboards; Steve Howe on guitar; Carl Palmer on drums; and John Wetton on lead vocals and bass; ASIA was the logical successor to their collective bands of the '70s — YES, ELP, KING CRIMSON, UK and THE BUGGLES. The original ASIA reformed in 2006 for the first time in 23 years.

ASIA's latest album, "Gravitas", was released in March. Produced and written by band members John Wetton and Geoff Downes, the CD is deeply introspective within a clearly accessible sound. The album also introduces the world to ASIA's new guitarist, Sam Coulson, who came at the recommendation of MR. BIG's Paul Gilbert.
