-----
1: 1995 / The first ever track of Lotus Omega. / Listed also as 'Don't Think' [Ai].
2: 1995 / The kick is an analogic impulse sound from a very simple keyboard. On DAT it is cut a bit before the end.
3: 1996
4: 1996 / Circulates also as an incomplete MP3 file. [dr] / Listed misspelled as 'Flaunting Bubble' [Stu].
5/6: 1996 / Listed also as 'Ziwago' [Stu].
7: 1996 / Listed also as "Lotus Omega - Body Tunes" [Nx]; "Lotus Omega - Project Body Things" [MS]. / Paolo Englaro of Bodhi Tools planned to have a solo project called Alpha Sound Flower, the "opposite" of Lotus Omega (the flower would appear as the exact opposite of the Greek letter "Omega").
8: The released '100% Révital Free' is in reality a remix, the original mix from 1996 remained unreleased and has a different structure. Plus the released remix was made after 1996 when the bought the AKAI sampler (probably 1997) and it has some sounds made with that.
9: 1996-97? / Revitàl was a beautiful Israeli raver that got arrested back then and they made this track as someone had to set her free from prison.
10: 1997 / Made at the beginning of 1997 and intended only to be played at live sets. It was the opening track of all live sets from mid 1997 onwards. / 138 BPM
11: 1997 / Pianura Padana is the name of the area surrounding Milano, and Padania was the ancient name of the area. Later, the track was remixed and renamed 'Daltanius' (appears misspelled as 'Dactanius' [Sta]) - from the famous robot Japanese anime - as the name Padania was used too much by the politician Umberto Bossi, and Lotus Omega did not want to be associated with his extreme right wing politics. / Appears misspelled as 'Pandania' [Ai]. / 142 BPM
12: 1997
13: 1999 / Listed also as 'Dancefloor'.
14: 2000-01?
15: Made while they were in Brazil, probably around 2001. It was to be released on their 3rd full length album which was finalised and ready for release on TIP.World. The release did not materialize for unknown reasons.
17: 136 BPM
18: 142 BPM
19: Tsuyoshi Suzuki liked very much this track, played it often in his sets and wanted to release it on Matsuri.
20: 1996 / Listed also as 'Holiday On Venus' [Stu] or 'Venus' [Sta].
21: 1997 / 153 BPM / This project translates to 'New Horizons'. The track was made exactly at the same time as 'Hale Bopp' and 'Daffy Duck', using also some of the gear of the Etnica studio.
23: 145 BPM
24: 1997

L1 to L6 recorded in Milan @ C.S.O. Leonkavallo (occupied social centre) on the 6th of December 1997. One continuous track on a DAT tape.
