The first album[16][17][18] was produced and arranged by Paolo Prevosto in collaboration with the Italian electronic artist Eugene, who also performed lead vocals on many of the tracks.

The music project concept uses advanced research technology with 1970s sound paradigms, inspired by electronic music pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Goblin and Moroder. The tracks are based almost exclusively on original analog synthesizers from the 70s, Moog, Korg and Doepfer, avoiding as much as possible the use of emulated computer synthesizers. The core of Simulakrum Lab is the balance between old school electronic music and groundbreaking future sound engineering.

The first album also containing two songs inspired by lost cosmonauts, titled: "Lost Cosmonauts" (a radio transmission fiction) and "Far Worlds", the lyric recounts and describes the sensations of a cosmonaut aboard his space capsule during an orbital flight.

The first work made by Simulakrum Lab[1][2] was the remix of the song “Special Effects” by Freezepop[19] in 2012. Subsequently, they released the first album titled Simulakrum Lab for the A5 label in 2013.
