They're releasing a final studio album, live DVD, and short film, though. There's no more information about any of those things. Unfortunately, there's a decent chance Asia will have a new album as well.

Though the two bands have mostly the same compositional style and instrumentation, I'll have to go with Sleepytime for their wonderful crossover appeal for fans of trash can sounds and home-made instruments.

ok, so maybe it's linked to the cover ?
Because the music is really rubbish (and I am objective / I am a very eclectic guy, I like a lot of pop, but Asia is just nothing). |
Mon Dieu, than I have a rubbish taste in music! 
Believe it or not I really like Asia (also saw them 2 time live). I also consider myself to have an eclectic taste, but unlike you, Pop does not doe much for me, I like next to Prog, Metal. Country, and Classical also AOR/Meldic Rock so that might explain my rubbish taste respectively my love for Asia

No, they just force themselves to think that a supergroup gathering people from their favourite prog bands must be good. |
Of course. 
Interesting theory that I have forced myself to like them. But wrong. |
I liked Asia even before I knew they where a Supergroup! So yes, I agree with Snow Dog, this theory is wrong.

I really love SGM. I have a hard time sitting through the only Asia album I own, which is their debut.
