3.0 out of 5 stars Worth a listen., November 28, 1999
This review is from: Evolution (Audio CD)
Geoff Downes is one of my favorite musicians. I truly admire the work he has done solo-wise and in other groups (Yes and Asia for example). The songs that he covers on this album are songs from other groups that have influenced him. For example, he covers "The Final Countdown" from Europe and "Africa" from Toto. This isn't one of my favorite albums, but there's no doubt that it's worth a listen. He's a great keyboard player.

1.0 out of 5 stars WHAT ON EARTH HAS GEOFF DONE???, March 22, 2008
This review is from: Evolution (Audio CD)
Really bad cover versions of Geoffrey's most influential music. However, it just doesn't sit right compared to the solo efforts, and I have a very simple rule; i.e, if you're going to do cover versions, at least make sure it is substantially equal or even better than that of the originals, otherwise leave it alone. Geoffrey has some songs sounding so cheesy, that it is actually embarassing to listen to. Not recommended to anyone but a Downes completist!

3.0 out of 5 stars not the same.., July 14, 2005
This review is from: Evolution (Audio CD)
I just saw Asia live and he is amazing. 11 synths..and a computer and he jumped back and forth usually playing two at once...When I saw this cd I thought..ooh how cool.
But The Final Countdown sounds like a MIDI file I downloaded and played back through my keyboard. He should have left out the cheesy drum machine and kept it piano strings and analog synths.
