Chasing the Ghost  >>

“chasing the ghost” is haunting and captivating, with an essence that cuts to the core. Its hypnotic lull of orchestrated sounds and heartfelt emotion reveal a journey reaching deep into the psyche that will grab you and not let go. Recognized as innovators in sound, Collide prefer to cut their own path. This album, although decidedly different from their previous CDs, once again treads on new ground, combining new elements into a powerful whole.

Some Kind of Strange  >>

Vortex  >>

Remixers, DJs, and Bands from all over the world lend their passion and inspiration to further expand on the already diverse soumd of Collide. From chunky guitar versions, to slithering lounge stylings to delirium-esq versions that are sure to hit the dance floor. This CD also contains three new covers, including the very poinant "The Lunantics are taking over the Asylum" by Funboy 3.

Some very special guests including Charlie Clouser formally of NIN, Rhys Fulber of Conjure One/Delerium and Mike Fisher of Machines and Loving Grace/Amish Rake Fight, lend their talents to "VORTEX". COLLIDE performs an exotic hybrid of Darkwave, Cyber-Dance, and Electronic, with crossover appeal which will appeal to fans of Evanescence, Massive Attack, Curve, Dead Can Dance, Portishead, and Delirium.

Live At The El Rey  >>

Although Collide has won thousands of appreciators, and established a reputation for recording excellence, theyd never performed their music in concert until 2004. Like many electronic acts, Collide was a studio entity. Theyd used their machinery, their voices, and their mixing board to generate a sound thats best described as extra-personal: suggestive not of a band playing in the back of a room, but of a dream playing in the back of your head. Transposing an experience this hallucinatory to the stage felt daunting to Statik and kaRIN. Could a group so dependent on electronics for their ferocity even one this accomplished manage to replicate the passion, the menace, and the magic of their music live?? This CD is proof that they can. Like The Hunted is documentation of the concert tour that brought Collides dreams alive. Expanded to a six-piece, the live iteration of the electronica powerhouse brings new dimensions to familiar songs. Guitarists Scott Landes and Rogerio Silva weave alternately processed and raw riffs around Kai Kurosawas percussive bass and Chaz Peases thunderous drumming. Statik stands omnipresent behind his electronics, as the virtual sound controller. The band sounds terrific: the five instrumentalists attack their instruments with authority, and kaRIN leads the band with sultry charisma.
