It's easy to gauge a sophomore slump when people liked your first album. Less so when you're divisive Progressive Rock supergroup Asia, who left behind much of the intricacies and complexities of their previous bands (Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer) and took a more radio-friendly Pop Rock approach. But despite the mixed reviews, their 1982 self-titled debut managed to be a big hit, and history has been relatively kind to it in hindsight. The even-poppier 1983 follow-up 'Alpha' is not remembered so fondly, and their momentum was halted as quickly as it began.
This month, Austin is joined by Progressive Rock fan Patrick S Barry of Jukebox Zeroes, Old Men Yell at Cloud, and music projects Smell and Bears for Years, to reassess and depress over one of Prog's most infamous sellouts.
