warhawkBeyond2040 Aura and Aqua are sick albums. Payne's voice got tougher as it got louder. And in my opinion was more consistent live than Wetton was. I prefer listening to Greg Lake fronting Asia than Wetton and Payne, too. It's all good music regardless. This track is phenomenal.
I've said it before how i hate how the whole John Payne era is so frowned upon! It just seems wrong. He is great! We all love the original line-up, obviously, but don't discount the stuff John did with the guys! That is just how the band were at that time. They did some amazing stuff. A clearly talented man who, i think, suited the whole shebang really well. Superb band, and John Payne rocks... \m/ (:o)
Whoever carries the baton kept the band alive, and I may be as controversial as the neigh sayers when I say this, I feel Payne era was a golden one for the band especially Aqua and Aria time although every album had their greats only what came after I wish now they hadn't reformed the original as it imho was a huge disappointment, I yearned for a classic Payne song sorry. I say it how I see it.
My favourite album of the entire John Payne era
