CD ReviewsBest of Asia in the '90's Burritoman "USA" | Pennsylvania | 07/31/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "While there are a few essential tracks missing, "Axioms" is still a marvelous compilation of the great Asia material of the '90's. Of course, the best way to hear Asia is to get all three of their classic cd's (now available as a low-priced box set of "Aqua", "Aria" and the amazing "Arena"), but this is a terrific sampler. If you enjoy smooth, adult rock, Asia (the Geoff Downes-John Payne lineup) is definitely for you." A Very Nice Collection of Later Asia R. Langdon | Four Oaks, NC USA | 05/28/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "I wouldn't have thought it, but I actually like this later Best of Asia collection (Axioms) better than the Heat of the Moment Best of earlier Asia. Even though the earlier collection (1 Disc) has more recognizable hits, this one (2 Discs) has better overall sonics and really better crafted songs. This title gets repeated spins in my player. Just plain good music with some progressive roots. Highly recommended." Good collection, could have had more... Prog Nerd | Southern California | 06/10/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Axioms is a late-90's collection of Asia's best music from that decade, spanning three albums. All the best cuts from this era are represented (at last, more from Arena!) and the track-sequencing is superb. Disc 1 starts and ends with short Geoff Downes instrumental keyboard pieces, while Disc 2 starts and ends with short full-band songs that lyrically and musically bookend everything perfectly.
I'd give this 5 stars, but it gets one less for having each CD be just under an hour. Over twenty minutes of music could have been put on each one. Then, upon reflection, I realized that if all of the good 90's era Asia tracks were on this set, no one would buy the standard albums... Having said that, Axioms is a good affordable set ($ 12.99 in many stores) and an excellent sampler for 90's Asia if you've only heard the early years with John Wetton ('82-'90), or are a fan of other prog-rock, such as ELP, Yes, King Crimson, Saga, Marillion etc. Track selection is superb, BTW, and there's some tasty liner notes by Asia expert Dave Gallant." |
