Icon II: Rubicon
John Wetton and Geoffrey Downes cut their musical teeth on English church music as young boys, each was gifted with an ear for a good tune, be it ABBA or the Beach Boys. As young men, they slugged it out in the trenches, reaching varying levels of success on their way to a date with destiny. John played and sang with King Crimson and UK, while Geoff got enormous exposure with the BUGGLES' massive hit 'Video Killed The Radio Star' in 1979, later on joining a later incarnation of Yes for the release of the album Drama.  In 1981, both joined forces in the supergroup Asia, although Wetton left Asia in Downes' hands in '85 after three successful albums. In recent years, Wetton and Downes have begun collaborating again, with this being the second full-length album under their Wetton/Downes Icon moniker. Frontiers. 2006.
