Geoffrey Downes is a very busy musician these days. Trying to list all the projects he has been associated with as either a writer, producer or musician would be very time consuming. Aside from still playing with Asia he also fills in his free time by playing with the progressive institution known as Yes. This is now the second time that Geoff has been with Yes as he also played with them on the Drama album and tour back in 1980. It was out of that relationship that he and guitarist Steve Howe joined forces with bassist/vocalist John Wetton and drummer Carl Palmer to form the Supergroup Asia.
