Trivia :
On the 25th of October, 1997 Cactus/Adequate and Ares/Ironic conceived an idea of merging their two groups: Adequate and Ironic. After a transitional period of a couple of months when the new group functioned under a temporary name of Adequate+Ironic, all their plans got eventually finalized on the 11th of January, 1998. On that day Axelerate was officially established.
Before the final decision was made for choosing the right name for a new group, Cactus came up with the following list of suggestions: Absolute, Abstain, Abstract, Accelerate, Accept, Access, Accuracy, Acquaint, Adhesine, Admission, Advence, Affect, Amphibia, Ant Hill, Associate, Saddness Crew, Tiddlywinks.
In the first days of their activity they had quite a lot of members coming from a merger of two previously separate crews... It turned out however many of them were simply inactive. A definitive memberstatus cleanup took place then and many members got kicked out by Cactus under the cover of group reorganization.
Should it be interesting for you to know, who was a member of the group in its initial days, this was the complete memberstatus before the reorganization took place: Angelboy, Apollo, Ares, Asterix, Azgar, Beton, Cactus, Clayster, DJ Sharp, Imaic, Inver, Kopieja, Legion, Panda, Phobos, Rat, Razor, Renegade, Richie, Scarabush, Zeker, Zeus. As of March 1998 once the new group settled down there were just 10 active members: Angelboy, Cactus, Clayster, Copieya, DJ Sharp, Legion, Panda, Phobos, Scarab, TSD. At the beginning their primary focus area was cracking, no surprise most of their 1998 release are just cracks released by their most active member TSD. His work laid the foundations to establish the position of a recognized C64 scene group and to strengthen the group name amongst an entire C64 community. Axelerate was continuously shifting their release priorities towards legal scene, releasing one demo, one music collection and a few tools already in 1998. In the year 1999 their second demo was released (which turned out to be their last), another collection, a bunch of SID tunes, pictures, and of course more cracks.
The group was eventually dissolved on the 26th of February, 2001.
