The piece had been released in two previous versions on Hathut ( Cobra in 1985) and the Knitting Factory ( John Zorn's Cobra: Live at the Knitting Factory in 1992) and was subsequently released on Zorn's own label Tzadik Records in 2002.
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars, stating that "it's the traditional Japanese instruments that make this a version of Cobra to remember." [1]
