Heat Of The Moment - Robbomac cover Asia

[ODH]

That new guitar sounds awesome, Johnny.  And a wonderfully put together track.  Can't really say Asia were ever really my thing, but I enjoyed this one.

[Johnny Robbo]

Sorry chaps... just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum 

Should have been in covers. Must be my age!

Holy shite ,that's feckin awesome! This was spun so many times on my old childhood stereo. Love it guys, well done. I'm tackling another Asia tune soon also.
Rock on!

Oh & dude that guitar sounds excellent!

Back for another listen. Keep hearing more and more. Asia were most definitely my thing - I was never into the main stream for music. I remember all the talk of this new super group up coming album, and what an album. I was already big into John Wetton from UK, loved his voice. A big Yes and ELP fan as well - and I loved prog in all its glory. John Wetton was always a musician's musician. The first two ASIA albums are still some of my favourite music, and UK with Holdsworth is, well, simply stunning - and still completely relevant today. I'm stunned how well Kenny stacks up against John Wetton, no mean feat - and a big, big thumbs up from me Kenny. Wetton was quite a fragile singer, he could be pitchy live, but when he was on-song, there was no one with more soul in his voice - hands down my favourite singer of them all! Listen to the albums Arkangel and Rock of Faith.
Johnny, you outtro solo is brilliant, gob smackingly great. Programming those drums took some time I would think.
I am a fan!

Back for another listen.

I actually saw Asia on their first tour with Rory Gallagher opening. Barely knew who Rory was at the time I'm sorry to say.

Thanks chaps... quite pleased with how this one turned out. And Kenny certainly rose to occasion! We have another one in the pipeline & without giving too much away, I'm trying to get my head round Jeff Porcaro's drumming style & a certain Mr. Lukather's guitar playing 

Programming those drums took some time I would think.

You've no idea, mate! time signature & tempo changes all over the place - it seems like such a simple little catchy pop rock song, but it's deceptively complex.

Me and my daughter have had this on repeat and dancing around the kitchen whilst making sausage pasta for lunch.  We like it a lot.

Robbo, your guitars sound great throughout but the one thing I thought I should congratulate you on was the drum part. That must have been an absolute bitch to put together.
