"Rare" is an instrumental album by the progressive rock band Asia.

Track 1 to 16 were recorded in 1997 for the documentary "Salmon - Against The Tides" and 17 to 22 for a Sega unreleased video game. The only members of Asia to perform on this CD are John Payne and Geoff Downes.

This was the first of their albums not titled with a word beginning with A (which had been somewhat of a trademark of the band in earlier releases).
