Notes:

'Testcards 1989-1995' was released by the independent label Test as a double-CD in a limited edition of 500 numbered copies. The material consists of a series of private MH demo-recordings from the given period, all in all two-and-a-half hour of 'prime material' (unreleased compositions and four radically different demo-versions of 'Random Hold'-tracks). The background for the release of the double-CD and the limited stock is explained in Test's press-announcement: "The idea with this release is to give the more dedicated Hall-listeners the opportunity to get in contact with some of the material that otherwise would be lost. The reason behind the limited edition is due to a demand from the owners of the recordings who don't want to see the double-CD launched in a major fashion."
