It is rumored that Mike Patton ( Fantomas , ex- Faith No More) and Melissa Auf Der Maur (ex- Hole, ex- Smashing Pumpkins) were involved in recording sessions. Due to contractual obligations, any material Team Sleep releases will be through Maverick Records.
The Team Sleep recordins offically released have been "The Passportal," an instrumental featured on the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack. A version of "The Passportal" with lyrics and vocals by Chino Moreno has circulated on the internet under the title "Apollonia."
A full album's worth of material was finished between 2002-2003, but Moreno was reportedly angered after Team Sleep songs were circulated on the internet. This, coupled with the release and supporting tour for Deftones' fourth album, has kept Team Sleep's recordings from being released. In 2002 there was also a Team Sleep world premier on POWER 106 FM in Los Angeles: "Mercedes" was played once.
Team Sleep's record was orignally scheduled for a November, 2004 release, but Maverick Records were so impressed by the album they postponed the release until mid-2005 to allow for promotion.
