Co-founder Geoff Downes<\/a>\u2019 current companions are guitarist John Mitchell of It Bites and Lonely Robot, drummer Virgil Donati of Planet X, and bassist\/vocalist Harry Whitley.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first track off the album is a high-power energy piece, \u201d Downes said of \u201cThe Traveller,\u201d adding that it featured \u201ca few elements of prog trickery [while] retaining the accessible chorus block, which was always a signature of Asia\u2019s music.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that he and Wetton had started writing songs soon after the release of Gravitas<\/em>, with two of those tracks \u2013 \u201cTattoo Indigo (Parts 2 & 3)\u201d and \u201cChesapeake Bay\u201d \u2013 appearing on on the record. Howe and Portnoy play on the latter.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was with great sadness that John became seriously ill during this time, and we had put on hold our plans,\u201d Downes said. \u201c[A]nd sadly John passed away<\/a> before we could continue and complete it. So it was always in my mind that \u2026 it would be a shame not to finish off some of these songs.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Asia\u2019s Video for \u2018The Traveller (Into the Light)\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. \u201cThe Traveller (Into the Light)\u201d From Kansas and Can to King Crimson and Curved Air.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Ryan Reed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAsia, ‘Indigo’ Track List<\/h3>\n
