[Heeplist] California Breed

[Tapio Minkkinen]

I haven't heard the new Asia album so I can't say if I like it or not.  
I bought John Wetton's latest solo album mainly because Mick Box plays  
on one track and I didn't like it at all. Wetton is still a great  
singer but the album was not that special.

The only new release besides Outsider I have been interested in lately  
is Intelligent Music Project II album with John Lawton. I preordered  
it and received e-mail earlier this week that it has been posted so  
I'm looking forward to receiving it next week at the latest. It's good  
to have that while waiting for Outsider.
