The 18-track Asia best-of compilation, 2000`s THE VERY BEST OF ASIA, expands the track listing of their earlier collection, 1990`s shorter THEN AND NOW. Only the best tracks from Asia`s years on Geffen are spotlighted, such as the pop/prog warhorses "Heat of the Moment," "Only Time Will Tell," "Don`t Cry," "Go," "Voice of America," and "Heat Goes On."
Compared to Asia`s other collections (1990`s THEN AND NOW, 1999`s ANTHOLOGY), THE VERY BEST OF ASIA is the best of the bunch, as it also features much clearer sonics than the earlier collections. For fans of prog-rock with pop leanings, THE VERY BEST OF ASIA is definitely recommended.
