Notes

Asia is the debut album for the band with the same name.  This is their most popular album which includes their two biggest hits, Heat of the moment and Only time will tell.  Despite only having two hits, this album did reach number one on the Billboard album charts.

Recommendations

If I had to recommend an Asia album for anyone it would be this.  Their two biggest tracks can be found here along with some nice deep tracks.  If you're only into the hits you may want to check out one of Asia's several greatest hits compilation sets instead.

If you plan on purchasing Asia

This album is the only one along with one of their greatest hits albums that I can find in stores.  Every time I see it in stores however I just shake my head at the price.  You're better off buying this album online.  Check out Cdnow.com to see if it's in stock, it usually is.

If you don't plan on purchasing Asia but want to hear some tracks from it

As I said earlier, Heat of the moment, and Only time will tell are Asia's two biggest hits.  Sole survivor is another nice jam as well.  I have listed my top 5 tracks from this album, all good jams.  You should check these out at Itunes or Napster.  I also have my ideal compilation for Asia at my Asia Home Page.
