"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
