It now appears on the 2-CD Trances / Drones. "Dervish Dreamtime" recorded at Studio M in Palo Alto, with Ron MacLeod. "Oak Spirits" recorded live at Stanford University. Remastered at Soundscape, Mountain View, 1999. Inner Landscapes: Recorded live on 9 March 1985, in Berkeley, California. Edited and remastered on Inner Landscapes in 1998. First released on Inner Landscapes in 1987, with different edits, on Audion/Auricle UK (AMC029). "Inner Landscapes documents portions of a concert from 1985. This represents a growth period for me, when I wanted to perform shorter concerts that were completely improvised, while still maintaining the intensity of my all-night sleep concerts. At the time, "shorter" meant three hours with no break. I released two live albums from this era, Live and Inner Landscapes. I think Inner Landscapes holds up better over time. It's one of my few live recordings from this period that captures a bit of the thick atmosphere of the event. While editing it for CD release, I had to choose from over two hours of tape, giving me a chance to restructure the crossfades and remove some weaker material." - Robert Rich, 1999 Packaging: 6-panel digipak with 8-page booklet Total Time Sunyata: 63:11 Total Time Inner Landscapes: 73:57 ©1981 and 2000 by Robert Rich.
