Turquoise &Crimson is the collection of tracks from Turquoise 3.x and Crimson 3.x that were released online over a span of three years from 2002 to 2004 through VAST's website. The EPs,titled Turquoise 3.x and Crimson 3.x,were released in lo-fi MP3 quality before being compiled onto 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. There are two versions of Turquoise &Crimson —an official online version and an official "final" version released to retail.

The physical double-album,the band's fourth album,was released in 2006 under Jon Crosby's 2blossoms record label. The two discs contain re-mastered versions of the tracks found on the online release and the major-label release of Nude ,albeit in different mixes and with different production. The track listing is slightly different than the online version. Crosby said the retail version is the official final version of the album.
The album also has its own specialized album cover,different from the cover art released for the Turquoise 3.x and Crimson 3.x releases,which each had their own album artwork.
