"[7] All of Land's albums started out as live radio broadcasts with, according to Dennis Rea, ". . . very little re-recording or cosmetic surgery after the fact, so they are accurate representations of the band's live sound. "[5]

A May, 1996 concert broadcast formed the basis for most of the second album, Archipelago. This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the year 1996. Archipelago is the second album by the American group Land, who blend Jazz, rock, and World music. The group had expanded to a septet by that time, adding George Soler (Stick), and two additional percussionists: Greg Gilmore and Bill Moyer. The Chapman Stick is an electric Musical instrument devised by Emmett Chapman in the early 1970s Greg Gilmore (born January 3, 1962 in France) is a musician in Seattle Washington, and co-founder of the recording label First World Music It was this lineup, minus Ed Pias, who had left the group, that toured China in November-December, 1996, performing in Beijing, Kunming, and Chengdu, as well as Hong Kong, and Macau.

This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the year 1998 [5] Andrew Bartlett, writing in a 1999 article in Seattle Weekly, described the music at that time, in part: "LAND's sound is a swirl—a clicking, cascading, jolting mix of sonorities and styles. Seattle Weekly is a freely distributed Newspaper in Seattle, Washington, United States. " Dennis Rea is quoted in the article: ""The current lineup is more of a 'rock' band than earlier editions, and is much more explosive and in-your-face. Our connection with ambient music is pretty tenuous at this point. "[12] The final incarnation of the band, which recorded the album Road Movies between June, 1998 and February, 1999, included Greinke, Rea, Dalaba, drummer Bill Rieflin (now with R.E.M.), and bassist Fred Chalenor.
