Discography
With a name as evocative as Asia you'd think that the group would be prog kings and queens however, it's actually a fairly straightforward rock band.

But even though the band have a diverse musical background their biggest hit came in 1982 with Toto IV.

Line-up
Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was a return to a classic sextet format and it was a more consistent, more powerful effort with a harder edge. The edgier sound of Turn Back was a reflection of the growth of the band. The drummer Bobby Kimball's increasing ability to play was evident in the vocals of Joseph Williams, who had become more confident and mature. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, sharper, and less derivative than on previous performances.
After touring to promote their album, the band recorded an Amsterdam live show which was released on Eagle Records as a 2-CD set entitled Falling In Between. The group released a brand new studio album just a few months after, and went on a world tour to support it. In this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich, and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family.
In 1998, Paich & Lukather began exploring old tapes and demos to discover songs that had never been recorded prior to. The album was released as a double album titled Then and Now in 2001. It was the band's first album without one single track titled "A". The album also contained an previously unreleased track titled "Kari-Anne".

Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.
