Arcangelo Corelli is a remarkable figure in music history. He belongs to the most famous composers of the baroque era, but his oeuvre is very small in comparison with that of his peers, such as Handel or Telemann: just six collections published with an opus number and some pieces which have been preserved in manuscript. Most composers of his time contributed to more than one genre: vocal music - sacred or secular -, chamber music, orchestral works and keyboard music. Corelli confined himself to chamber music and one set of 'orchestral' music, although that term is probably not the most appropriate to characterise his concerti grossi.

Discipline performs some of its better known progressive art rock epics on this 2-disc live recording. Discipline are an independent rock band from Detroit (not to be confused with the moniker that Robert Fripp used pre-Discipline with King Crimson). Since forming in 1987, the band (formed by lead singer and keybordist Matthew Parmenter) have performed and recorded together in a strictly DIY fashion via their indie label, Strung Out Records. The band's debut album, 1988's Chaos Out Of Order saw the band (with Parmenter and guitarist Jon Preston Bouda) laying down the foundation for the sound that would be at their peak with both their 1993 CD Push & Profit and 1997's Unfolded Like Staircase.

Fobos is an independent progressive rock band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 2014 by Bruno Caamaño (bass), Pablo Cordes (guitar, vocals) and Cristian ''Baty'' Tutaglio (keyboards, vocals). Fobos records and produces their own material. Their influences are many but mostly Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Marillion, combined with instrumental moments of fusion and jazz.
