Formed at the dawn of the MTV era, Asia was the first 'supergroup' of the 1980s, featuring members from Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and The Buggles. Videos made for the band's first two albums, "Asia" and "Alpha", were staples of the historic music channel's initial programming.

Asia's four original members reunited in 2006, 23 years after all four had last played together. The much publicized reunion resulted in two highly successful world tours in 2006 and 2007; an acclaimed double live LP and DVD ("Fantasia: Live In Tokyo"); and an overwhelming response from fans and the media, which continues today.

Asia is touring to more than 20 cities across the U.S. this spring to support the April 15 release of "Phoenix," the band's first studio album since 1983 with its original 'supergroup' line-up, which debuted at #73 last week on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. "Phoenix" marks a return to the band's classic sound, with some surprising contemporary twists. "Phoenix" is a collection of songs that speak to the millions of core Asia fans who, like the group, have come a long way since the dawn of the MTV age in 1982.

"Phoenix" has a very poignant underlying theme placed at the intersection of love, discovery and reflection, no doubt due, at least partly, to Wetton's unexpected serious health issues (which included open heart surgery), and forced the cancellation of Asia's 2007 West Coast North American tour and a sold-out tour of the UK. Fortunately, Wetton has recovered fully and his band mates say he is singing and playing better than ever.

Grand Grand Prize winner will get a signed 14" Paiste Alpha crash cymbal, signed copy of the new CD "Phoenix" and signed lithograph. One runner-up will receive a "Phoenix" CD and signed litho. Enter below! Winners will be announced Jun. 9th, 2008 thru Ultimate-Guitar.Com website.
