The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982-1990) is a collection for casual fans of splendid hits like Heat of the Moment, Only Time Will Tell, Don't Cry, and The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. For diehards, it's essential for the three rare B-sides Daylight, Lying to Yourself, and Ride Easy and the detailed liner notes. Unfortunately, stellar Asia tracks Sole Survivor and Here Comes the Feeling are the choppily edited single versions. The powerful The Heat Goes On from 1983's Alpha showed the original quartet still had some magic, even if some other material on the album didn't. Krokus' Mandy Meyer replaced Howe on 1985's unjustly ignored Astra, which is best represented by the explosive rocker Go. The oddly enjoyable Then & Now cut Days Like These features Toto guitarist Steve Lukather.[2]
