Nostalgic and pure feeling,
By
This review is from: Icon (Audio CD)
2005 its been a good year for rock and many rock Icons have return to make us happy, as Hammill, Plant, Steven Wilson and many more did. Icon its a great album, full of gorgeous and passionate songs and it shows that Wetton-Downes is one of the most successful duets of all the time. Don't expect to hear Asia, but sometimes you get pieces of Asia, King Crimson and Buggles. If you don't have this album, run and buy it. I recommend Let Me go, I stand alone and In the end which bring us back Anie Haslam and Ian McDonald.

Wetton / Downes = ICON's,
By John Edwards (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Icon (Audio CD)
Without a doubt, John Wetton has one of (if not) the finest voices I've ever heard. This album is the first collaboration between Wetton and Geoff Downes in some fifteen years, although they wrote two songs on Wetton's last solo offering, Rock of Faith (I've come to take you home / I lay down). Obviously they liked the vibe and decided to go for a whole album. Don't expect Asia sounding songs - this is Wetton/Downes showing a different side of themselves, although comparisons are inevitable. Stand out tracks: Let Me Go, God Walks With Us, I Stand Alone and Hey Josephine. You may require repeated listenings to fully appreciate this recording - my advice is stick with it - the payoff is substantial.

A Curate's Egg,
By
This review is from: Icon (Reissue+Bonus) (Audio CD)
Pleasant enough in its way. Perhaps a bit stadium-rock-by-numbers for my taste; too much like Asia after that first sensational album. It might grow on me, as some of John Wetton's solo albums certainly have, but I don't know. At the moment I'd recommend this to anyone who likes Elton John's 80s onwards work, or Meatloaf, but devotees of King Krimson and UK - or even solo Wetton - might find this of only passing interest. There's a kind of mock-heroic quality that conjours images of mid-80's Spandex Man. Fantastic musicianship, but a lack of sincerity and immediacy - Queen without the camp. School report would say "Average. Could do better."
