Two legendary voices of British progressive rock: Annie Hasslam
(ex-Rennaissance) and John Wetton (ex-King Crimson, Uriah Heep, UK i
Asia) join forces in the completely underrated and forgoten project Icon
led by Wetton and Geoff Downes, so half of Asia itself. Belting out
from their sleeves uniquely beatiful tunes just like their other
legendary band has never happened before - Icon produced three albums
over the course of 2005-2009 period, bringing in some amazing work eding on accoustic, chamber, progressive and pop-rock.
This is to commemorate John Wetton, one of my biggest and most profound musical inspirators - whose range and power of voice, bass playing sometimes as complex as DNA fibres, combined with a knack for melody and adopiting to most of musical styles enrooted with rock flawlessly - is - indeed - an icon and reference to my musical happiness in life. Thank you, John, you are so missed.
