Background
[edit | edit source]In 2005, the Grammy committee debated whether Involver was eligible for nomination as Best Electronic/Dance Album. The Recording Academy decided that the album was eligible, but Involver did not receive a nomination.[4] Sasha did receive a Grammy nomination for his remix of Felix da Housecat's "Watching Cars Go By", which was featured on Involver.
On 11 September 2013 Sasha made the entire album available for streaming on his personal YouTube channel.[5]
