Overview
The album was recorded during Rich’s studies at Stanford University. It was originally released on audio cassette.[2]
In 1994, the title track, “Sunyata (Emptiness)” was included on the two-disc compilation Trances/Drones. Because of the length restrictions of the compact disc format, when Sunyata was finally released on CD in 2000, this track was omitted.

gollark: Why censor the hostname of your VPS anyway? It's not like I used it and an unknown vulnerability in the OVH management system to gain access and install potatOS on it.
gollark: It was just some people waving woggles around.
