We've been working on something rather exciting lately. We've been going back through all of our computer back-ups, tape back-ups, DATs, old files, and old computers.
We've compiled instrumental versions of our entire album collection. This also includes our Secret Meeting album and singles. On most of the albums, we have also included an unreleased song, or remix. As far as we know, this isn't anything that any band has ever done, as far as an entire catalog of music goes.
Wow...life is spinning at a crazy rate and some ultra cool things are happening. We have a song in the movie The Covenant.
It is a remix that we did of Frontline Assembly's song "Predator", where kaRIN provided the vocals.
We have always really loved this song and now it will be on the end credits of the movie.
"Predator" appears on our CD "Vortex", as well as on Frontline Assembly's "Rewind" CD. Our song, "Euphoria" as well as "Predator" are included on the movie soundtrack.
Thanks to Steven Hurst at Glasswerk.co.uk we have a new review of Vortex. " NIN’s affiliate Charlie Clauser has the honour of presenting the first remix of Euphoria that is nothing but a work of rock genius. The first couple of minutes build and build until you are thrown into a void of guitar ecstasy. And this quality is pretty much maintained throughout the first CD. There are a few covers of note as well – But the non-remix highlight has to be ‘Predator’ which is a gothic masterpiece..." Read more here.
Thanks Blu and Kristina Rogers.
"It’s a rare delight to come across an independent artist who’s managed to defy the odds and put out a truly polished and professional indie release. Collide, a vastly talented California duo who has successfully released a string of remarkable albums on their very own NoisePlus label, is precisely such a band. Vortex, Collide’s latest offering, is a sleekly packaged 2-disc set, containing a variety of tracks off their last few CDs, remixed by an eclectic variety of both recognized and lesser-known artists. Impressive really doesn’t begin to describe it." Read more here
We've started pre-sales of Vortex as well as a special with a new t-shirt design at our online store.
We've also put up clips of all of the songs turned into our remix contest as well as of the songs that appear on the Vortex CD
We're happy to announce that our newest CD, VORTEX is complete.
The official release date is May 18th.
The total running time of the CD is over 140 minutes
We will put up sound samples soon and start pre-sales...so check back or sign up for the newsletter for updates.
The following is the track listing...
Our new CD, Vortex is going to mastering next week. We'll be posting a new web page soon with clips of the songs that will be on it, as well as all of the other songs that were turned into our remix competition. We're still working out the final linup, but it's going to be two cds, and approx. 26 songs.
Our albums, Chasing the Ghost and Some Kind of Strange are finally up at the Apple iTunes Music store, where you can download and purchase each album for about $9.90 or you can even purchase any song individually.
We are currently working on a remix/cover album. It will include remixes from the last two CD's. We have a couple of special guest remixers lined up and we thought we would have an open remix call. Anyone who ever wanted to try your hand at remixing Collide, here is your chance. We will be putting the best ones up on the website and the very best ones will be included on the CD.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in...let us know and we will set you up.
