When the art rock supergroup Asia broke up in 1986, it left a hole in FM radio that few artists have dared to fall into. The band´s crafty, complex, and often indulgent pop confections won it international acclaim and brought progressive rock into the mainstream. The Best of Asia: The Millennium Collection is a digitally remastered cornucopia of ´80s standards like "Heat of the Moment,""Only Time Will Tell," and "The Smile Has Left You Eyes." While by no means as thorough as 2002´s Anthologia: 20th Anniversary Geffen Years Collection, 1982-1990, the slimmed-down Millennium Collection is devoid of filler and serves as a terrific entry point for the uninitiated. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
