Released on August 13, 1990, Then & Now is a part-compilation, part-studio album by the British progressive rock supergroup Asia. The first half, "Then," features five definitive hits from the band's first two multi-platinum albums, showcasing the classic lineup of John Wetton, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, and Geoff Downes. The second half, "Now," consists of five previously unreleased studio tracks recorded between 1989 and 1990. These newer recordings feature the returning John Wetton alongside Downes and Palmer, with notable guest contributions from guitarists like Steve Lukather (Toto) and Mandy Meyer. The album produced the hit single Days Like These, which became a staple on rock radio and helped bridge the gap between Asia's early 1980s peak and their 1990s output. This release serves as both a retrospective of the band’s commercial zenith and a snapshot of their evolving AOR sound during a period of significant lineup transitions.
