Discography

You would expect a group with a name like Asia to be a prog band, but it is actually a pretty straightforward rock outfit. The group started out as a group and recorded two albums: 1979's self-titled debut album, and 1980's Armed to the Teeth. The band has a varied musical background but their biggest success came in 1982 when they released Toto IV.

Line-up

Turn Back, the band's third studio album is an attempt to return to the classic sextet format, and an even more consistent and powerful effort that had a more grittier edge.
