GTR (album) (It had no connection with the similarly titled "Hackett to Pieces" from "Highly Strung".) Asia later recorded their own version of the Downes-penned "The Hunter" for their 1997 compilation album "Anthology". The group, founded by ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett and then ex-Yes and ex-Asia guitarist Steve Howe, disbanded in 1987. Geoff Downes, another ex-Yes and ex-Asia member at the time, produced the album. The band's name, anecdotally, comes from the marking on the studio mixing console that indicates the 'guitar' volume control. The album was reissued in 2001 in a remastered CD edition. The album was out of print, with
Alan White (Yes drummer) MerKaBa; keys, guitar). Stockwell left the band and, in April 2005, was replaced by Alan's former colleague in Yes, keyboardist Geoff Downes. A new album, "White", was recorded, partly based on the "Loyal" demos. The album was released in 2006, with a cover by Roger Dean. The band has played live (with various keyboardists) in the Seattle area. They were due to join the abortive More Drama Tour, scheduled to begin in North America in August 2005, with three acts: White, The Syn, and Steve Howe, with Yes members Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Geoff Downes playing Yes material at
