ASIA: Why A Supergroup Was A Bad Idea In 1982 [FrasGm3V49m]
This documentary analyses the formation and impact of the supergroup Asia and their self-titled debut album. It explores how four legendary musicians from the 1970s progressive rock scene—John Wetton, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, and Geoff Downes—came together to create a new, commercial pop-rock sound for the 1980s. The film highlights their initial criticism from the British music press, their immense success in the American market, and the key factors behind their breakthrough, including the rise of MTV and their knack for writing powerful, radio-friendly anthems like "Heat of the Moment."
