Asia Now (Live In Nottingham 1990) - Asia (Rock)

Advantages: far too many to mention! they rock!
Disadvantages: there aren't any! and i mean that seriously

...Matchbox 20 are massive in the US and Asia. They have dominated airplay with four single releases in the States and continue touring to packed houses world wide. Their first album (yourself or someone like you) has rocked the world. the first four tracks are in driect competition for my favourite song of all time. The new album (MAD SEASON) released in late May, is different and it takes a little time to get used to, but its better with every listen. So, if you like bands like the goo goo dolls and good rock/pop? and i use the pop part loosely, tehn check out Matchbox 20. CDnow offer their try before you buy so give it a shot! you certainly won't be sorry!!! Oh, yeah, Rob Thomas the lead singer is the guy that sang with Santana on Smooth. so you must now what the vocals are gonna sound like.... Read review

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: Can't take it out of my cd player

...considering it still sold over 2 million albums and the track "Don't Cry" was a top 10 hit, yet this was pitiful acclaim compared to their debut album's success. The album itself still held distinctive tracks that were unmistakably created by Asia. Their sound and nature, whilst not repetitive can be mistaken for nothing else. Falling into the progressive rock genra, the sound hints on edges of rock ballads through to pop. Many of the tracks incorporate several strains of genre and bind them with a changeable tempo. Dissecting the album track by track highlights both the common factors and the differences **Don't cry 3:41 (Wetton/Downes)** A lightened instrumental is joined by heavier drumming that feeds into the vocals,these go on to work together for several verses with only the smallest variation in tempo right to the end...

Advantages: heart of asia
Disadvantages: belissima

...This DJ and producer has been around for a few years now. He started with the release of Belissima which was quite a good dance track and had people rocking for a while. After a few months though, Belissima started to die, so, keeping to the same method of music, DJ Quicksilver brought out “Free” which had the same feel to it as Belissima but was a lot darker and was loved by more. Once again though, after a few months it died. DJ Quicksilver did not release anything publicly after that for atleast a year. Then this year he made a great come back. He brought out a remix of an old song called Heart Of Asia from an old film called Merry Christmas MR Lawrence. This track became one of the biggest tracks being played in clubs at the beginning of the year 2000. A few weeks later though, this track was dropped for the extremely large... Read review
