The Millenium D8 saw an opportunity to capitalize on the success of releasing back-to-back albums with 1996's Clapping Joes and 1997's Eighps and decided to do an immediate follow-up to their newly released album, Altitude. After one of the most intensive and rewarding learning years in the D8's career, they produced No Sleep for Dreaming, the first Dissipated Eight album of the millenium.
