Unreleased EP
2001 / Source: Both tracks were produced between 1999 and 2000. A source indicate that this E.P. has been probably released on Dragonfly Records (BFLT 79?) and distributed as a limited vinyl edition on psyshop.com. Note (October 2021): For over a decade we didn’t found any info about this ‘release’, apart from that post (by an unknown guest) on Psynews. So until further confirmation those tracks should be consider as usual unreleased tracks.

Nov 1998 & Dec 1999 / 150 BPM / Source: Greek DAT. This track circulated on DAT as Axium – Cartoon in Nov 1998 and as a Bamboo Forest track in Dec 1999 with longer length.
