Trackstories

1. Everyday Choices by fourstones

"The everyday words of everyday people..." In the fall of 2005 in France, Everyday Choices was released through CCmixter and within 48 hours had two solid remixes. fourstones must have been feeling Colin's words about the "everyday words of everyday people" because he added his own guitar riff and beats to transform it from a decent spoken word piece to a solid track.

2. Castle of Serenades by Pat Chilla Beat Gorilla (with teru)

Described as the first 'perfect track' to be created out of CCmixter, this reflective remix of Colin's 1999 song 'Castle on a Hill' showcases the masterful skills of producer Pat Chilla the Beat Gorilla, who's work has been highlighted on America's Top Model.

3. More than 2 Sides by fourstones


Originally written and performed with an acoustic guitar and images as part of Colin's Free Culture Tour, More than 2 Sides speaks to the many spaces unfortunately dominated by two opposing voices. The fourstones version fills out the acapella voice with chill beats and trebel percussion.

4. Destination Non-Specific by Victor Ohm & Colin



Written while travelling in Sevilla, Espana in 1996, this new version of Destination-Nonspecific was recorded and updated by Victor Ohm in Jackson Heights, Queens in the Summer of 2005. Victor's airily distorted electric solo adds so much to the otherwise chill acoustic recount of a night going with the flow in Sevilla.

5. Break Free by Victor Ohm & Colin


Originally the first song that Colin had ever written, this version of Break Free distinguishes itself with Victor Ohm's electro guitar solos that fill out the sound of the voice and acoustic guitar.

6. History by Awkward Silence


History's unique evolution from the acoustic "Choose Responsibility" on Colin's 1999 album 'activefreedom's started with Awkward Silence using the amazing piano sample from Minus Kelvin and a high pitched version of Colin's voice. Awkward Silence then shared an instrumental version that enabled Colin to re-record his voice in line with the new instrumentals to make History, version 2.0.

10. A New System


by teru

Teru's version of this brief prescient statement recorded in 1999 adds a variety of trip hop beats to fill out the mood. "What if we were entering into a new time? A time when the very systems of control and commerce that we had believed to be the status quo, were somehow no longer relevant?"
