Turquoise & Crimson (Online Version) is the collection of Turquoise 3.x and Crimson 3.x released in a span from 2002 to 2004 online through VAST's website. EPs titled Turquoise 3.x and Crimson 3.x were released in lo-fi mp3 quality before being compiled onto the online release entitled Turquoise & Crimson. After the two EPs were released, many of the songs found their way onto the major-label backed album Nude with different mixes before finding their way onto the official double album release. However, there are two versions of Turquoise & Crimson; an official online version and an official "final" release released to retail.
The songs were created during and after a short four-year hiatus instituted by Jon Crosby so he could do some "soul-searching". Many of the songs reflect the rough time in Crosby's life after the release of Music for People and the split between himself and a major-label.
The songs on the online release are the same versions as the retail CD, however production and sound quality on the Retail Version is of higher quality.
