Dukes of the Orient as a vehicle to release new material, both out of respect for Wetton, and to distinguish themselves from
Payne's former band. Asia Featuring John Payne remains active in a touring capacity, and members and former members of
the group; Jay Schellen, Bruce Bouillet, Guthrie Govan, Jeff Kollman and Moni Scaria, have contributed to Dukes of the
Orient's debut album.
