12 – Hypnotix – Takeoff  11:53
Probably 1996/ Source: MP3 file in 320 kbps from Georg Simonsen (Microcosm) / First track ever produced by the artists / “We did use hardware sequencers (2 Alesis MMT8s) instead of computers in those days. Most of the sounds was actually, believe it or not from a Roland D-5. Not exactly an easy synth to edit with its small lcd screen with lots of menus to go through. But when you know how to tweak it you can get some unique sounds from it that actually sounds just as good as any other cool synthesizers. The Roland D-series is very underestimated synths (no wonder though). Fredrik had the classic Roland Tr-909 drum-machine. It sure did help a lot on groovy beats and long rolls with snares and kicks. And I had a synth called Korg Ex-8000”. [Georg Simonsen]

Notes
• Tracks ‘Electric Energy’, ‘Emotional Disturbance’, ‘Endless Universe’, ‘Flying Circus’, ‘Fractalizer’, ‘In Your Mind’, ‘Sound Of Science’ were offered by Fredrik Larsen (Microcosm) to Fredrik Haglund (Ethereal), during a chat conversation which took place in August 12, 2005.
• “I was making sounds and mastered the tracks very often while Fredrik was mixing the songs and made them take off. I had an Alesis SR-16 for extra drums and percussion also. And Fredrik had a Novation Bass-station for pretty cool wannabe 303 sounds. One thing that we wanted was a good sampler for some vocal stuff, or some other things you can not get from the other synths we had. In some way (I do not mean to brag, but) Fredrik was order and I was chaos. I was making the noise, often and mastering it while he mixed it and made it take off and fly. I think that we were a great theme that could probably had come far. It sure was very inspiring and great fun and experience for the both of us when we gathered together for the sake of conquering the world with our Ultraphoric Spacevibes. (hehe)” [Georg Simonsen].
