Wetton Downes

Summary

Wetton/Downes (sometimes stylised as Wetton-Downes or Wetton & Downes, though the album is given no official title) is the first album released by Asia member Geoff Downes and former Asia member John Wetton, and is a precursor to their Icon series. It is essentially a collection of (previously unreleased) demo tracks, mostly recorded during Asia's hiatus in the late 1980s through the time of their brief reformation in 1990. In September 2017, Downes announced (via his Twitter account) the re-release of this title, with remastered sound and additional tracks, as Icon Zero on Epicon Records.[1]
