1993's FATE OF NATIONS features a cooler, quieter sound, tapping into Plant's love for folk music and history as well as Eastern chromatics, and displayed a socially conscious mindset. Stand-out songs include "29 Palms," "Calling To You," "I Believe," and "Come Into My Life," featuring Clannad's Maire Brennan on vocals and Richard Thompson on guitar. Five bonus rarities include acoustic versions of "Dark Moon," and "Great Spirit" as well as the demo version of "Rollercoaster."
