Thrall on Automatic Man, Nuff said, one of the best guitar sounds ever on that album.
There, done my bit, kind of on and off topic at the same time :)
After the recent Glenn Hughes feature in Classic Rock, where it was marked under 'Essential' I downloaded a copy, but other things have so far got in the way of my listening pleasure. :)
I see they have 2056 billion friends on MySpace.
They bear the terrible burden of intergalactic stardom rather well, don't you think?
That album has always been a fave of mine - I used to own it on vynil before someone borrowed it and never returned it!
Recommended listening to everyone - top songwriting.
As with almost anything touched by Hughes (including stuff from the 10 years he can't remember) it's top notch!

ASIA ALERTASIA ALERT
There'll be none of that ASIA sh*te on this thread!
Which was your one written warning.... :)
(You can do it if you want, but you'll only feel slightly grubby afterwards. And I shall raise my eyebrows in the very most disapproving way. Charlie.)

The thread is focussed on the virtues of the Hughes/Thrall album, a classic album indeed, your attempts to derail this into a discussion about ASIA members past and present will not work - my mindforce is too strong and far-reaching :mrgreen:

I was ensuring it didn't go there.
Past members of Asia?.........Persia
Several past and present male members of Asia perfectly fit the term "male members".
Good old Glenn....I know him you know. My dad customised one of his basses when he was in Purple.
A classic album, and a critical part of my teenage years. I have it on cd now, and it's still balls-achingly awesome 8-)

I have the vinyl somewhere too, indeed a great album. One I should really get on CD, it will be a great trip down memory lane.
Thanks for reminding me.
I just picked up Glenn's "First Underground Nuclear Kitchen" - awesome funk rock 8-)
Awesome awesome album, was out of print when I first heard a track on the radio and it sort of defined my transition from casual rock fan to anorak as it was the first album that I hunted high and low to get my hands on.
Actually met one of my best friends via it as well, as he heard my appeal for a copy on the radio and sent me one. Which in turn led to even more anorakness as he was a huge fan of obscure AOR / Melodic rock. Used to go round his on a Friday night and sift through all the new releases / demos that he'd tape traded, this was in the days before the interwebulator.
