| Aura. A consistent and altogether great record. Not a bad moment on the entire album. And it's so well but not over produced . |

I agree with Aura. To me it's the finest Asia disc of any era. I can't get enough of this disc. It's in constant play; computer, iPod, CD.
I absolutely love their version of Ready to go Home! What a great disc! I realize this thread will get hammered by Asia haters, but it doesn't matter. ------------- Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding. |

I only have 'Silent Nation'. That's a very good album indeed, with more prog on it than their 80s releases had. However, the bonus DVD is the closest I've ever come to watching paint dry- a charisma free enterprise, I'm afraid....

Well I think I go with Aura as well. I love also Aqua, Arena and Silent Nation.
And I would just like to mention that the new GPS album Window To The Soul is better than any Asia album so far. Guthrie Govan, John Payne, Jay Schellen and Ryo Okumoto have made truly great record. There are still some Asia influences left but it's still different enough from Asia (in good way). Hopefully this new album would sell better than previous Asia albums. ------------- "I came here for a party and what do I get? Nothing. Not even ice cream." |

The only one I have is Silent Nation. It's good, but Slade just doesn't do it for me.
I do enjoy the new GPS, though. Payne's vocals at the beginning of the title track are a little goofy though. E -------------

I have several Asia albums and the one that gets played most often is "Aqua". Unfortunately, I can't comment on "Aura" - it is on my list of Asia albums to get.  -------------
