In [[2006]], Koch was asked by Pellaud to contribute a track to the compilation album ''Amazon Grace'', to be released by Y-Y-Y Records (which Pellaud had co-founded). The album featured 30-second songs from various artists, meant to subvert the limited song preview window of many online music retailers. Koch submitted the newly-created Karlophone track "[[How Many Minutes]]". The following year, in [[2007]], Kid Chocolat released the compilation album ''KCRMX''. It featured the original remix of "[[Desire]]" featured on the 7"-vinyl, as well as a new, previously-unreleased remix of the song (labeled "Version 2"). | In [[2006]], Koch was asked by Pellaud to contribute a track to the compilation album ''Amazon Grace'', to be released by Y-Y-Y Records (which Pellaud had co-founded).
