Cat reacts randomly to tail and enters frenzy
I have a 1.5 year old cat that will be sitting quietly on a stool, chair etc, and then he will, apparently at random, react to his tail movements and run away and sprint around the house. There seems to be no reason for him to react this way and it often results in him becoming increasingly aggressive towards the other cat (who is 8 months old). He behaved this way before the other cat came into the house, too.
When he is in this state he reacts aggressively towards any interaction.
While he is an indoor cat, he spends most of the early mornings chasing and playing with our other cat. Also I take time to play with him via laser-pointer when I get freetime
Is this normal for a young cat or is it something I should be concerned about?

Cats are just like dogs in that they need a lot of exercise. More importantly, they also share the same instinct to kill, except to a much greater degree.
I would say that your cat needs one or both of these things to happen:
More exercise (buy some interactive toys)
Something to "kill" after exercising (and no, don't buy mice just so it can kill them)
What I mean by something to kill is a toy or something for it to chew on after some laser chasing or something. If a cat chases after something but can't actually do anything with it, it can build up frustration and aggression.
