Arena

Description

Inside Out Music will release in the context of their famous Special Edition series a collection of five albums of the massively successful melodic rock band Asia. Each album contains bonus material, exclusive photos and interesting background information. Every Special Edition is housed in a lavish slipcase with embossed printing. Arena is a novelty in the history of Asia. Geoff Downes and John Payne used some influences from South American and oriental music and created a fresh and modern rock sound. Of course there are some tracks (like Heaven and Arena) in the traditional Asia style. Fans of pure Progressive Rock will love the song The Day Before The War, which shows the full spectrum of this extraordinary band. Arena features great guests like Elliott Randall (Steely Dan), Aziz Ibrahim (Simply Red) and Luis Jardim (Bryan Ferry). The wonderful fantasy artwork was painted by Rodney Matthews (Magnum, Barclay James Harvest) and the album has been digitally remastered.
