4 out of 5 stars Where is the bass?.......2005-09-27

Asia is one of my favorite bands. The music has a "stealth" complexity to it, that one picks up only after several times in the disc player. This CD fits the bill for what one would purchase a Greatist Hits CD; an overview only hitting the highlights. I don't think you'll be disappointed, but know what you are purchasing before putting your money down. As a fan of Prog Rock, I cannot say this disk of Asia's truly fits the bill. The music on this CD is more Rock with a contemporary feel touched by progressive aspects/signatures. Many have faulted Payne for his singing. I don't think the critism is warranted, he is just a different singer than Wetton (who I am a huge fan of); however, where I do fault Payne is his lack of musical personality when playing his instrument (bass guiter). One can say, "Where is the bass, or rythm SECTION for this band?" Asia compensates by picking up GREAT drummers, but I think this is a band-aid as every true Prog Rock act will have personality from ALL their players. I just wish Asia would pick up a great Bass Player ala' Jeff Berlin (not fair I know as Jeff is a great Jazz Fusion musician, but I hope you get the idea). Despite my criticism, Asia's music still grows on me.

4 out of 5 stars Good collection, could have had more..........2004-06-10

I'd give this 5 stars, but it gets one less for having each CD be just under an hour. Over twenty minutes of music could have been put on each one, but then again, if all of the good 90's era Asia tracks were on this set, no one would buy the standard albums...

Having said that, Axioms is a good, affordable set ( $ 12.99 in many stores ) and an excellent sampler for 90's Asia if you've only heard the early years with John Wetton ( '82-'90 ), or are a fan of other prog-rock, such as ELP, Yes, King Crimson, Saga, Marillion etc. Track selection is superb, BTW, and there's some tasty liner notes by Asia expert and official site webmaster Dave Gallant.

5 out of 5 stars Great collection of ASIA's later work thru 90's.......2003-11-06

I'm very pleased with this selection of 1990's ASIA.There are 2 cd's worth of music here (each @ 55 min), with each of the later cds represented by at least 3 tracks. The music is vintage ASIA. This set, AXIOMS, goes together well with Anthologica for a comprehensive overview of ASIA's output. Both 2cd sets are relatively inexpensive and well worth it. Sound quality is excellent.

4 out of 5 stars A Very Nice Collection of Later Asia.......2001-05-28

I wouldn't have thought it, but I actually like this later Best of Asia collection (Axioms) better than the Heat of the Moment Best of earlier Asia. Even though the earlier collection (1 Disc) has more recognizable hits, this one (2 Discs) has better overall sonics and really better crafted songs. This title gets repeated spins in my player. Just plain good music with some progressive roots. Highly recommended.
