It was not released on CD until 15 years later (ARKA CD 33125 in 2002), with new artwork and a revised track listing.[1] "Erasmus Meets The Earthling" and "Govinda" were omitted in favour of new tracks "Ishwara" and "Sunarqastra", performed with László Hortobágyi.[1] "Libera Me" was edited and renamed "He Did Not Die" (a title used previously for remixes of this track).[2] The CD also featured "Give Love" from India?, "Ark of the Arqans" from Ark of the Arqans, and a live rendition of "Beyond the Beyond".
The two omitted tracks "Erasmus Meets The Earthling" and "Govinda (I Wait Each Day)", can be found on their compilation album, Land of a Thousand Churches, which was released in the early 1990s.[3]
