За свою трудовую жизнь группа записала только два альбома и одну демку, за что им и спасибо, потому как эти два альбома очень крепкие, без проходняка, монолитно-шпаловидные по форме, депрессивно-меланхоличные по наполнению, сыгранные с душой, как и полагается думовым альбомам. И то, что относится к данной пластинке - "The Quietude Plains", равно можно отнести и к их предыдущей работе под названием "Deceptive Awareness". Изменения незначительные, разве что "The Quietude Plains" более чётко выверен, чем дебютник.

Agnostic Front — американская хардкор группа, основана в Нью-Йорке в 1982 году.

Alchemist - австралийская группа из Nation's Capital City, Canberra. Первоначально коллектив был сформирован в 1987 как школьный проект Adam (гитара, вокал, клавишные), который прошёл в первый период своего существования через многие стилистические перемены. В конце 1989 Rodney (ударные, перкуссия) присоединился к Adam, и в мае 1990 первое серьезное демо было готово. Тогда Alchemist играли technical thrash metal наподобие Destruction, Voi Vod, Coroner, Celtic Frost, Slayer и Metallica. Так или иначе, группа все же занялась поисками собственного стиля и стала включать в свою музыку все больше разнородных элементов.

В то же время и от традиционного хэви-метал музыканты не отказываются. Например, "After Me The Flood" или "Creepy Felings" выполнены в достаточно скоростной манере. К интересным моментам альбома можно отнести исполненную на испанском языке "No Me Digas", написанную еще безвременнно ушедшим гитаристом группы Дейвом Притчардом и полуакустическую "Upon Me Departure", испытавшую влияние поздних Anthrax, что неудивительно. Замечательно, что музыканты нашли в себе силы отказаться от канонов традиционного хэви в пользу более современного звучания. Armored Saint всегда любили за новаторское отношение к музыке и смешение стилей. Этот альбом стал наиболее ярким олицетворением музыкальной концепции группы.

Rare is the seventh studio album by British rock band Asia, released in 1999 by Resurgence. The album consists of instrumental music, which keyboard player Geoff Downes and guitarist John Payne composed for the soundtrack for David Attenborough's documentary nature film Salmon: Against the Tides (tracks 1–16) and for an unreleased CD-ROM video game (tracks 17–22). "The Exodus" is an adaptation of the main theme from the film Exodus (1960).

The lyrics for "Awake" were adapted from "The Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam. The lyrics for "The Longest Night" were inspired by Wilfred Owen's poem of 1918. "Ready to Go Home" was written by Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman of 10cc and appeared on Mirror Mirror (1995).
Geoff Downes had mixed feelings about the album's production. He stated "It was good to start with, but I think because of the duration of the album - at the end of it we felt it had gone in a slightly different direction than we wanted it to. In hindsight, sometimes these things happen."
