Subject: Great News-- Album 3 coming! Dave K & Pete Riley join!
Body: Following the extraordinary success of the Reunion of the
Original Members of Asia and their acclaimed all-new album Phoenix,
songwriting duo John Wetton and Geoff Downes have announced they will
be recording the third Wetton-Downes’ iCon studio album in September
2008. The album will be released and supported with a tour in early
2009.

Fans and critics alike have clamored for more from Wetton and Downes,
whose songwriting formed much of the fabric of the successful Asia
reunion release Phoenix. Joining the duo are guitar virtuoso Dave
Kilminster, fresh from successful tours with Roger Waters and Keith
Emerson, and Cellist Hugh McDowell, whose unique sound helped frame
the first two iCon releases. Rounding out the band is Pete Riley,
considered one of the “best drummers in the world”, whose work with
Keith Emerson, Kilminster and extensive live and session work shows an
extraordinary breadth and depth of style.

Great to see someone posting an article about music on here. I thought this
was supposed to be a PF newsgroup. Anyone know a newsgroup where PF (and
other great music like this thread) is talked about exclusively and not
trite personal stuff as we have these days?
