Asia’s eponymously titled debut album in 1982 was both ecstatically received and the biggest selling album of the year. It spawned a trio of US top 10 singles in "Heat of the Moment", "Only Time Will Tell" and "Sole Survivor." Over the greater part of the 80s, Asia racked up 15 million in global record sales.

Rising from the ashes in 2008, the Multi-Platinum Supergroup Asia returns with "Phoenix," the first new album featuring the original line up in 25 years. With a revered musical pedigree, Geoff Downes (Yes, The Buggles), Steve Howe (Yes), Carl Palmer (ELP), and John Wetton (King Crimson) have returned to their hit making roots. Featuring the anthemic lead track "Never Again", and the poignant "An Extraordinary Life," Asia’s revived the sound that made them radio staples.

This Live CD / DVD captures Asia in their original line-up, and it's a raw and honest view of the band. The masters come from the band's own archive and personally selected to be filmed and released. It is truly a compelling viewing and a "must have" for all Asia fans. The DVD shows the band playing tightly together in harmony with each other and the audience in an energetic and energizing rock concert. The filming is "fly on the wall" and puts the viewer in the audience. It is a spectacular experience. The set features songs from their reunion album "Phoenix" along with a selection of the classics that all the fans would expect. The recording is a historical document of where the band was at the time and a snapshot of their musicianship, camaraderie and passion. This live CD / DVD is an irreplaceable companion to the studio album. "Spirit of the Night" shows the band at the top of their game.

Asia's seventh album, Aura was released on June 5, 2001. The album was produced bny the legendary Roger Dean and includes a host of guest musicians.
