Wow! What a find! This was the first video I ever saw, when this LP was new in what '85? Astra is the only Asia album I really enjoy end to end. It just has it's whole own vibe compared to the rest of their body of work. Wish they'd have made Countdown to Zero and After the War into vids as well...
Unfortunately, I did not pick up this album until it was in the cut-out bins -- I had not heard of Asia until my senior year in NC, where prog-rock is not very popular. It was my first taste of Asia -- apart from Heat of the Moment. Some of it does not age well, but I still think the band did not receive justice from Geffen. "Go" is very good to listen to on the road. I always think of the 1990 tour with Pat Thrall as the "Astra Tour," because they did songs like "Rock & Roll Dream."
Mandy Myer (Guitar) played for Krokus. Believe it or not, Allan Holdsworth recorded with Krokus! Asia is awesome, I don't care what anyone says, Wetton is God!
I love Howe but I found Meyer's work more compelling and the music of Astra more "with the times" then. Howe is the man but had he played in Astra that album would have been totally different, and not for the better! : ) At least for my taste.
I think Astra sounds how it does because Downes was now in more control, thus providing a more Buggles-like production. But honestly, Myer contributes very little to the record. I think at the time (howe has since reunited) Wetton especially was thoroughly tired of guitar heroes, and wanted to get on with writing pop music.
Noooo! Wetton was tired (and jealous) of Howe, not of guitar heroes. By the time Astra came out the market was focusing more on metal/hard rock, so Meyer was a well-calculated decision. Production-wise (writing, "Wall of Sound", etc.) this was Wetton/Downes all the way, but Meyer gave the album a backbone. Go, Too Late, After the War are loaded with guitar heroics!
In Alpha you could hardly hear Howe (except on Eye to Eye) but Astra was ax-driven from the get-GO (get it? Get it? Get it?). : )
Please dude! C'mon! You can't be serious? Every-note Meyer played on Astra was dictated by Downes, trust me. Moreover it is very likely that Wetton played most if not all of the guitar parts, and Meyer Merely toured with Asia and shot Videos. Wetton booted Bill Bruford from U.K. because he couldn't stomach the great Allan Holdsworth. Bruford and Holdsworth were pals, so they both had to "Go". They could have offered Paul Gilbert the gig. Do I have to tell you Asia WAS NOT an 80's metal band?
1) I never said Meyer had total artistic creativity but he said in an interview he felt respected and allowed to do his thing (I've read everything on this album).
2) The ONLY guitar parts he didn't play on Astra was on Hard on Me, I believe.
3) Never said Asia was a "metal band" but the use of axes was way more aggressive than previous albums. I mean, After the War has a pedal tone!
4) Meyer never toured with Asia since their tour got canceled by Geffen.
ok-recognize geoff downes [keys] and john wetton [on bass/lead voc] but i cant tell who the other musicians are. was lucky enough to see all 4 original members in detroit a couple of years ago and for olde mo fo's, [now] they can STILL ROCK! esp when steve howe is on guitar!
Oh it does make sense. But the fact that she goes out of her way to shower for all the sci fi loving nerds who watch this video. Funny thing is who wears clothes while they shower
It's a chemical agent detox shower! Funny thing is, if she was worried about nuclear/chemical contamination, why didn't she wear long pants to begin with! :D
Let's none of us forget that this was a Cold War angst video. Funny how quickly those types of videos, movies and books disappeared overnight.
i unfortunately had to be satisfied with what was allowed for on-air radio play. what sucks about the rock stations here in Fresno, CAL, is that they don't play ASIA songs so much anymore, and what they do play, is pretty much limited to Heat Of The Moment, so far.
Personally I loved this album. Although Go was the hit, I am very fond of "Voice of America". Then again Hard On Me, Wishing, Rock & Roll Dream, Countdown to Zero, ........ aw heck the whole album was prety damn' good too!!
I definitely agree. I was about maybe 7 or 8 when this album came out, and begged my Dad to play this album all the time. There were a bunch of hits on that album..... I did love the song Go though...
I believe that was mandy meier on guitar takin over for steve howe he gave them a more metallic edge, i thought asia was a great supergroup and im glad they had a full reunion in 08 carl palmers drumming is timeless i hope he has full recovered from his serious illness
They are worth seeing. I saw them April 12, 2008 at Westbury. They were excellent. They even came out to the lobby after the show and signed autographs.
i've loved every incarnation of this band, even more so now they are back together, they still have it from everything i have seen and heard and hope i get a chance. i always wanted to be the chick in this video- lucky her, geoff on keys and mandy on guitar. anyway, great memory from those days-what i wouldn't give to be 17 again.

What a great Video !! I love this song, old stuff from the magic ASIA !! They made a new record, in the ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS !!! Also with Carl Palmer on the Drums and Steve Howe !!! Very cool CD !!!
this song, along with heat of the moment and dont cry are the only asia songs i know, but that will change soon. this one is my most favorite. the video, however, is sorta cheesy, but cool at the same time.
Strap1205,Although Steve Howe wasn't with the band during the recording, i finally pulled out my "Astra" and what a brilliant album, hooks a plenty and for my liking more guitar
orientated, the clip is hot too, have just bought their latest comeback album/cd a little
I agree... Astra was a great LP... Go, Too Late, Countdown to Zero, After the War, and my personal favorite... Rock and Roll Dream... that song is AWESOME!!!! Phoenix is a great Cd, too, and I can't wait to see them next Wednesday in Milwaukee!! ;-)
Rock and ROll Dream! My favorite also from "Astra" - The new album has a few good tracks on it. "Never Again" reminds me of "Heat of the Moment" - Glad to see and hear the band the way I remember them
Wow, after all these years this is the first time i saw this video! It´s great for that time! And ASTRA was a great album - it´s always a shame when people expect so much from the band - especially when the first album was a huge sucess! I think that the reunion of classic ASIA shows the fans, that there is nothing left to expect, because the new album PHOENIX is just GREAT GREAT GREAT! Even after almost 25 years, they still ROCK - and I think they ever did (even in the Payne-era!)
Astra was a great LP. Go, Voice of America, Wishing, and Too Late are great, not good songs. I know Astra flopped but it shouldn't have. And I did enjoy this video. A rather attractive young lady in a skin tight suit. What else can you ask for?
Cool. Very 80's, but cool. Astra wasn't their best work, but as mentioned, they were going through a bit of a shake-up. Loved this song, the rest of the album is only so-so at best.
If you like 80's Asia, aside from Saga, check out Marillion, Zebra, Tony Carey/Planet P PRoject, and to a cheesier 80's kick, try "Y & T" and "Krokus". ANd try "The Smiths" - They had some good songs in the short amount of time they were around
Woah there danastev.... Please don't put the Smiths in with those bands w/o a disclaimer. I'm a big Asia fan but the Smiths would be better off with the Pistols or the Clash than those guys. They are THAT important. It's like throwing Micheal Jordan in with the guys from your high school team.
The video was a concept based on their 3rd album cover, Astra. The cover was a female robot in this funky future landscape. If the album took off it was suppose to be a serious of videos telling the story of Azia, the female futuristic currier. The album didn't do well. It isn't to bad but it isn't as good as the debut or Alpha or the previously unreleased songs from those 2 albums. They are now released on the Geffen collection for Asia.
The band went thru a lot of turmoil between their second album(Alpha) and third album(Astra). John Wetton was out, then back, then as they started Astra Steve Howe was out. He was replaced by Mandy Meyer, which is why it is a little less proggish pop and more rock pop. Steve Howe found GTR with Steve Hackett. Sketches in the Sun and When the Heart Rules the Mind are off that album. The videos are on here. Check out Sketches, it is an amazing solo by Howe. The GTR album was really SHT.
who is in the band now? I have a friend that hated this song only cause Mandy Meyer was in krokus. it does not sound any different of a model than it was with Howe and at times it had more life to me
Yeah, actually a pretty decent song. I liked the album pretty much. You could see the influence of hair-glam. Still, good song, pretty decent video, awesome band.
great song, although the video has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics. the guys must look back at some of these 80's "concept" videos and just shiver! ;) but...their music still rocks.
lol, such memories. I played double pacman with him before the Asia concert. I didnt' know who he was. He saw me after the performance, wanted to get to me, but the body guards , so to speak,wouldn't let him. LOLOL so funny.
There was another great song on this album: all I can remember of the lyrics is "See your face, in the window of the limosine." (Anyone have this album/CD? Do you know the other song's title?)
OK nevermind: I looked it up. The killer tune was "Rock n'Roll Dream" from this same album: ASTRA. (Critics said the album stunk, but they're cracked! It totally rocks!)
This was 23 years ago she's now probably maried, have childrens and look's oooooold. On this vid she looks like 20-25 after 23 years she looks like 43-48 ;)
Saw them a few months ago with the original four. Don't miss it if you have the chance. They sound better then they did 20 years ago. And stay after the concert, they come out to talk to everybody about anhour later.
What A great band! Although they never found much acclaim after their 1st effort; they are tops in my book!! I've always liked them and their most recent effort is pretty good!!
Great. Btw......I am wondering what she does with that little blue rod in bed. Maybe it vibrates.

I think that the reunion of classic ASIA shows the fans, that there is nothing left to expect, because the new album PHOENIX is just GREAT GREAT GREAT! Even after almost 25 years, they still ROCK - and I think they ever did (even in the Payne-era!)

Astra was a great LP. Go, Voice of America, Wishing, and Too Late are great, not good songs. I know Astra flopped but it shouldn't have. And I did enjoy this video. A rather attractive young lady in a skin tight suit. What else can you ask for?

I just noticed that the environment that the mushroom-helmeted girl runs through is quite like that in Half Life 2.
Great music - and great model for the mushroom helmet, but how on earth did they get her to have a shower in the middle of filming :p

Disagree, Astra is a stonkingly listenable consistent album with some classic moments.

Cool. Very 80's, but cool. Astra wasn't their best work, but as mentioned, they were going through a bit of a shake-up. Loved this song, the rest of the album is only so-so at best.

apart from the punkrock thing you're doing the best u could do ;-) in case u don't know them, check out SAGA :)))

If you like 80's Asia, aside from Saga, check out Marillion, Zebra, Tony Carey/Planet P PRoject, and to a cheesier 80's kick, try "Y & T" and "Krokus". ANd try "The Smiths" - They had some good songs in the short amount of time they were around
danastev924 3 years ago
Woah there danastev.... Please don't put the Smiths in with those bands w/o a disclaimer. I'm a big Asia fan but the Smiths would be better off with the Pistols or the Clash than those guys. They are THAT important. It's like throwing Micheal Jordan in with the guys from your high school team.

Have to agree that is a great track and that the album deserved to be received a lot better.
Shame about that whole 1980's video thing - this seems to be more 'Tron' than 'Blade Runner'.
Oops!
I guess Duran Duran have a lot to answer for!

This album deserved better. It wasn't bad, just a bad time to change lineup and image.
Original lineup has a new album ready for April 2008.
Asia - Phoenix
12 tracks
John Wetton, Carl Palmer, Steve Howe, all the original lineup!

The video was a concept based on their 3rd album cover, Astra. The cover was a female robot in this funky future landscape. If the album took off it was suppose to be a serious of videos telling the story of Azia, the female futuristic currier. The album didn't do well. It isn't to bad but it isn't as good as the debut or Alpha or the previously unreleased songs from those 2 albums. They are now released on the Geffen collection for Asia.

The band went thru a lot of turmoil between their second album(Alpha) and third album(Astra). John Wetton was out, then back, then as they started Astra Steve Howe was out. He was replaced by Mandy Meyer, which is why it is a little less proggish pop and more rock pop. Steve Howe found GTR with Steve Hackett. Sketches in the Sun and When the Heart Rules the Mind are off that album. The videos are on here. Check out Sketches, it is an amazing solo by Howe. The GTR album was really SHT.

This is one of the few good tracks on Astra.
The album was O.K. but still not as good as Asia and Alpha.
Those two albums were their best.

who is in the band now? I have a friend that hated this song only cause Mandy Meyer was in krokus. it does not sound any different of a model than it was with Howe and at times it had more life to me

Yeah, actually a pretty decent song. I liked the album pretty much. You could see the influence of hair-glam. Still, good song, pretty decent video, awesome band.

Cheese, glorious cheese. Wetton seems to have OD'd on mousse and bronzer. Downes sure can play them big ass chords, though.

great song, although the video has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics. the guys must look back at some of these 80's "concept" videos and just shiver! ;) but...their music still rocks.

There was another great song on this album: all I can remember of the lyrics is "See your face, in the window of the limosine." (Anyone have this album/CD? Do you know the other song's title?)
TubeSteak007 4 years ago 2
OK nevermind: I looked it up. The killer tune was "Rock n'Roll Dream" from this same album: ASTRA. (Critics said the album stunk, but they're cracked! It totally rocks!)

Saw them a few months ago with the original four. Don't miss it if you have the chance. They sound better then they did 20 years ago. And stay after the concert, they come out to talk to everybody about anhour later.
