A.k.a. Max Lanfranconi, Carlo Paterno, Andrea Rizzo, Maurizio Begotti

The joint project of Etnica/Pleiadians and their fellow Italians Lotus Omega. The project started one afternoon when Maurizio and Carlo were producing Vimana together with Lunar Civilization and the name comes from a magazing that Maurizio was reading at the time. Then came Different Species, made by Filippo, Carlo & Maurizio. The tracks were then sent to Max that at the time was in Bali DJing and needed some new music to play. All the music they released was composed during the summer of 1996 in the studio they set up in Milano with all the machines from Etnica and Lotus Omega. For Full Mental Jackpot 10 mixes were made in one afternoon, but only a few versions made it to the public release. Some of the composed material was lost through the years because of a hard-drive crash and DAT tapes being lost or stolen. The debut album was finished and was being called Tetrahedron, expected to be released in 1998 on Auracle Recordings. Unfortunately the label went bankrupt before it could be realized. The album was finally released 10 years after in late 2008 on DAT Records. The project has been launched again since the summer of 2015, after their live set at "ZNA Gathering" in Portugal, currently consisting of three members, Max, Maurizio and Filippo.
