5 – Hallucinogen – Shamanix (Early Mix)  8:07
1994-95 / Source: DAT / An earlier and a bit slower mix

6 – Hallucinogen – Strangled Cat  6:04
2007 / Source: MP3 File / The track was available for listening on Hallucinogen’s MySpace page. It was a “work in progress” for an interview on a Twisted Records DVD. Maybe it is the last track that Simon ever produced as Hallucinogen.

7 – Simon – Chadok 8:31
1997 / Source: DAT / Circulated also as ‘Simon & Friends – We Speak Alien’ but it is not really clear if it is an authentic Simon’s track. It could be a live jam with other artists (a common thing back in the days) were Simon participated.

Remixes

1 – Earth Nation – Alienated (Hallucinogen Remix)  7:22
1995 / Source: DAT / Maybe one of the most beautiful morning Goa tracks ever produced. It is unclear why such a diamond never got released.

2 – Hallucinogen – LSD (Icon Mix) 6:20
1996 / Source: DAT / Confirmed by Ralf Hildenbeutel (Icon/Earth Nation), contacted by Cosmogenesis.

3 – Purple Om – Wargasmed (Hallucinogen Mix)  7:57
1994 / Source: DAT / Appears also as ‘Wargasms’ on P2P sites / The original version of this track was an ambient track, shared on the official Soundcloud page of the band. This is a typical up tempo Hallucinogen track and circulated mostly as ‘Hallucinogen – Wargasmed’.

Notes
• The track ‘Shamanix (Unreleased Unmixed Remix)’ it is actually released only on the vinyl version of T.I.P.’s ‘Blue Compilation’ (9:28 minutes vs 8:10 on CD).
• The track ‘Alpha Centauri’ circulated as ‘Purple Om – Up 4 More’ during the Goa season of 94/95 on DATs. It is uncertain if that was originally a Purple Om track.
• A track that circulated as ‘Hallucinogen – Thugs In Thy Die (Remix)’ was actually a combination of two tracks, that Simon used to play together in his DJ sets: ‘Sulphurex – Point Break + Thugs In Thy Die’. The first was slowed down to match the speed of Simon’s track and they blend perfectly.
• Note on Live tracks: The above 3 tracks are only selective because of their significant differences. Simon is very well known for constantly twisting and re-mixing his tracks during live performances. Therefor, the “live” versions of his tracks, are practically endless!

Some tracks circulate with wrong artists/names:
• ‘Hallucinogen – Agent Orange’ is actually ‘Beast – Trouble’.
• ‘Hallucinogen – Are We Here’ is a track from Orbital.

• ‘Hallucinogen – Policeman’ was actually released as ‘Infernal Machine – The Loin Sleeps Tonight’.
• ‘Hallucinogen – Phuture 2000’ is actually a track from Carl Cox.
• ‘Hallucinogen – Red Zone’ is actually a track from Robert Miles.
• ‘Hallucinogen – Smoke A Little Shit’ is actually released as ‘Younger Brother – Even Dwarves Start Small’.
• ‘Hallucinogen – Synchro’: it starts with a track from Synchro and the second half with ‘Hallucinogen – Angelic Particles’.

• ‘Hallucinogen – The Eight Devils’ was actually released (on a DAM-CD from mp3.com) as ‘Gigas – The Eight Devils Of Kimon’ (archive link).
