It was sent out as a special gift to members of the now defunct official TD International Fan Club,{{discogs release|570781|title=Quinoa (1992)}} and the remaining copies were sold during their German tour in 1997. The CD featured one single composition "Quinoa" of 28 minutes.
The album was re-issued on 14 July 1998{{cite web| url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/quinoa-mr0000502669|title=Tangerine Dream - "Quinoa" - (1998)|website=AllMusic }} on their new label TDI.{{discogs release|179938|Quinoa (1998)}} It was sold in unlimited quantity, and contained two bonus tracks. One of these tracks, "Voxel Ux", was originally composed for a competition on the band's official 1996 homepage. The winner received a CDR with the track, of which there is only one copy. "Lhasa" was described as the first movement in TD's "Tibetan Cycle", with 6 other tracks within the cycle that remained unreleased until 2000, when they were released as the album The Seven Letters From Tibet. "Lhasa" was extended and became the track "The Blue Pearl".{{cite vitn |title=Quinoa |work=Voices in the Net |url=quinoa}}
