ASIA MINOR — Crossing The Line (1979-1993) APE (image+.cue), lossless

A very decent prog-rock release from the very aptly named group from Turkey; influences such as JethroTull and Emerson, Lake & Palmer are fairly obvious but this band sprinkles in some oriental influences from their local backgrounds to make this not as derivative and a lot more their own than you may think. A very enjoyable listen for prog fans only improved upon by their next album. Recommended. Frederick Baptist
