Trivia[]
- While Two Steps From Hell has often featured compositions by other composers outside of the main founders, this is the first openly branded "collaboration" album. Additionally, it is the first album where the tracks provided by outsiders outnumbers those by the main duo.
- This was the last industry album to feature new tracks by both of the main composers. From here on out, each composer would create solo albums for the industry.
- The cover for the album has a map of Washington D.C..
- Nick Phoenix came up with the title for Dreams Collide.
- Alternate versions of Haiganon and Second Source were released on SoundCloud by Hitesh Ceon.
- His SoundCloud description also says "Open Conspiracy"(where I did 7 tracks together with Nick Phoenix), which suggests that Nick and Hitesh worked together more closely than Thomas and Nick usually do.
