Quinoa was released first in 1992 as a limited edition of 1,000 copies and sent as a gift to the members of the then discontinued official TD International Fan Club (TDIFC) only. Thus, this release became a very rare collector’s item. The last CDs which had remained in TD’s stock had been sold during TD’s German tour in 1997 for 50 DM each. The CD featured one single composition of nearly half an hour, its title originating from a kind of grain which was a essential part of the meals of the Incas in South America. In June 1998, TD re-released this album on their then new label TDI, including two bonus tracks: Voxel Ux had originally been composed for a website competition on TD’s official internet homepage in 1996. There had been just one single CD-R released for the winner of this competition only. Lhasa was described to be the first movement from a so-called ’Tibetan Cycle’, containing six other movements which were unreleased so far. Two years later TD released the cycle in form of the album The Seven Letters From Tibet; Lhasa was extended by an opening of some four minutes and became the fifth composition of the cycle, being re-titled The Blue Pearl.
