On September 22, 2003, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA for selling one million copies in the U.S.

A poet will be matched with each track from the album to interpret the sounds into original poetic pieces backed by Union 32: Union32: Keith Kelly-tenor saxophone/flute, Adam Roberts-tenor & soprano saxophone, Brett Reed-vibraphone, Bailey Zick -upright bass, Ryan Anthony-drums & cymbals.
