Soon after Naïm enlisted the producing skills of John Parish for his first album, "Mistake Love" in 2004. In 2005 he recorded "Sanguine", an album produced by Joey Burns of Calexico and briefly released on Universal/Atmosphérique in France, now on german label Le Pop for Europe. Naïm's most recent album "Dansons" was released in May 2012 on British label Vacilando 68 and in Japan through Sweet Dreams Press. An ongoing project for Naïm is a series of instrumental albums called Soundtracks (not to be confused with his soundtracks for film). Volume I was released in 2000 and the most recent, Volume IV was released in 2011. Naïm also composes original scores for film. In 2011 he did the score for the PBS documentary "Precious Knowledge" and in 2012 the documentary "I Learn America".
