While Geffrey Downes remains one of the worlds foremost keyboard and senth players, Aisa just wasn't the same without the former YES guitar player, Steve Howe. And although John Wetton is forever strong on Bass and lead vocal, the lyrics just don't have that catch that Aisa had on their first 2 realeases. But for the die hard Aisa fan it is a must-have to complete their collection.

Marc Bolan When Doves Yawn
OK, flash back to the 60's and take a lot of drugs and sit in a lotus position and pick up your accoustic guitar and write 20 songs in the next 20 minutes. Got the picture. I am a big fan of Mark Bolan and his brother Tommy but this album (now CD) is for a bigger fan than me. Now I know why they never realeased it during its time. I may listen to it one more time before I die but I doubt it. All of the other Bolan recordings are great... so.... if you are about to do a lot of drugs and sit in a lotus position then this would be a pefect listen for you!

The Dirty Boogie Brian Setzer
Brian Setzer is often overlooked in guitar player polls. But he should certainly be on that list of top guitar players in the world. If you are a guitar player and don't believe it, just get a copy of this CD and play along to it. It is just fantastic playing. The CD content is like the Stray Cats on Rock Star Energy Drink and is a totally fun composition. Full of great covers. Full of the essence of Brian Setzer. And some bad-ass players, especially the guitar player.
