Format:Audio CD
This is a excellent double album from the New sounding Asia there songs are great and flow into each other with ease.Dont be put off cos John Wetton is no longer in the band trust me Asia sound fantastic,they have grown as a band listen to there songs and you will know what I mean.The sound quality is excellent as with all there albums.Album is a good buy from Amazon as your getting double cd,good sleeve notes,great packaging with outer sleeve,but buy it for the music you will enjoy.
At the time of submitting this review I am aware of the latest offering from Asia due out anytime its called Pheonix and guess what John Wetton is back with band should be interesting,havent heard as yet so unable to give comment on.Keep Rocking.

Great collection of rare Asia songs
3 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
Asia's Archiva 1 & 2 albums feature otherwise unreleased tracks from the John Payne era. If you're looking for rare Wetton/Downes collaborations, you won't find them here. I happen to think Asia released some of their best material with Payne on board, so this collection was a must-have for me.
The songs range in quality from fair to excellent. Some of them are quite excellent, and are as good as you'd expect to find on a regular Asia studio album. Others are clearly B-side material (though still pretty decent). There are only a couple of songs that you hear and think "I can see how that one got cut from an album". Overall, this is a very nice collection of songs that should please die-hard Asia fans.
Both Archiva albums were released separately, though never in a format worthy of the material. The 2005 Special Edition release by InsideOut collects both Archiva albums in a slipcase, features digitally remastered sound, and includes bonus tracks (mostly edits, remixes and alternate versions of existing Asia songs) - all for the price of a single disc. What more could you ask for?

Great Collection of Song Rescued From the Cutting Room Floor
22 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
All Payne era Asia fans should check this out - some real undiscovered gems here. But this collection will not bring newcomers into the fold. Do not start here if you're brand new to Asia.
Awesome stuff.

First disk incredible! These are great tunes. Highly recommended for those who like Payne. Asia is a great band, the new albums with Wetton are also excellent.
