   I've been searching the net for you guys and i came up with something a little disturbing:
   
   see this link
   http://www.bluesound.2itb.com/catalog.html
   
   basically what is disturbing is that they said;
   
   " In an early stage, trance[]control by mistake turned down a record contract with Universal Music in Germany. Probably not the smartest choice if you want to set fire on your career. "
   
   I just wondered if this is true?

   Yeah - that's true - The German division of Universal Music e-mailed us and wanted to sign us - He got sort of angry with me when I asked about what kind of label Universal was etc. I did know that Universal was the 3'rd or 4'th largest label in the world back then, however I didn't reflect over it until it was too late :)

   Okay on the other hand, then maybe you would've all commercial like and popular and i would've hated you guys for that ... and not that you're unsuccesfull, I read some interview with you guys, that you had over 5.000.000 downloads!!?!?!?! That is so cool, in a way! 'It was this sort of marketing paper from some swedish guy, Patrick Liu.
