None of the offers made by major record companies appealed to Nakamura and Thornton until DreamWorks Records offered to release the album nationally. In 1997, the label released the full album in the US under the extended title "Dr. Octagonecologyst", which featured five new songs. In promotion of the album, Thornton planned to perform under the Dr. Octagon name. These performances were supposed to feature a full live band, an on-stage breakdancer and appearances by Invisibl Skratch Piklz. It's unclear why they did not play these shows, but Thornton, Nakamura and DJ Q-Bert played for the first time together on March 6, 2017, in San Francisco.
