Accompanying the remix was "[[If You Listen]]", a song co-produced by [[Patrick Wilson]] under the moniker of [[Franklin Mint]]. The remix was also played on-air on [[November 4]], [[2004]], as part of the "All Soul Strut" show hosted by radio station KZSU.<ref>Raj. (2004).

By the spring of [[2006]], the second Karlophone album, ''[[I Must Find This Karlophone...]]'', had begun to take shape. The process of refining and remixing was completed by November of that year. Originally slated for a Christmas release, delays eventually pushed the album to being released in early [[2007]]. ''[[I Must Find This Karlophone...]]'' was the first Karlophone album to receive a vinyl release, which was released in a limited edition of 150 copies. Production costs prevented the album from being pressed into two records, causing the song "[[Indian Summer (Karlophone song)|Indian Summer]]" to be cut from the release due to length issues.<ref>Karlophone.
