It's been a while since the last similar thread, so people: tell me what dance tunes are great at the moment! What whitelabels will become the anthems of 2003? House, techno, trance, breaks, electro, whatever...gimme all you got!

Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Andrea Doria-Bucci Bag

P Diddy and Friends-Lets Get Ill

Bangalter and Falcon-Call On Me, at least I think that's what it's called.

Can't think of too many more but I will.

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

whats been big at Miami this year? other than the above...?

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Snoop_dogg - Beautiful_(ft_pharell)

..apparently

jk___, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 09:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Cap Nip - Romance is the Panther
you know where to find it, but I doubt very much that it's destined for chart success.

nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

David Guetta-Distortion

Paul Woolford-Out of my Life

Jon Carter-Go Down

X-Press 2-Strobelight Serenade

some song by tim deluxe using an alias

Those are big Miami tunes I've heard of Steve, the only one I've actually heard is Carter's one which samples that tune from O Brother Where Art Thou "oh sinners lets go down" etc.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Lee Cabrera Shake It apparently was big, but I'm not feeling it.

Anyway, I'll chip in with the stuff I liked in the last month:

Puretone Stuck In A Groove (Tomcraft Remix)
Düse Nackig (Tomcraft Remix) (he does it again! everything Tomcraft touches turns to gold at the moment...how long can this last?)
Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Love Lost (this NEEDS a bigger remix though, where's Galleon when you need him?)
Huntemann DiscoTech (more electro! irresistable!)
Legowelt Disco Rout (Johannes Heil Remix) (OK not that new, but still...)
Taksi Rohrbruch (the techno tune everyone is spinning at the moment)
Planet Funk Who Said (Moguai Remix) (banging breaks, punk vocals, this is how Audio Bullys should sound)
Shakedown ft Terra Deva Drowsy With Hope (Shadow Company Remix) (this is definitely growing on me!)
Infusion Legacy (Junkie XL Remix) (fantastic nu-skool breaks tune. same carefully sculpted sound as last year's Cloud Cuckoo)
Sean Paul Gimme The Light (Heartless Crew Mix) (madness...)
DJ Energy Excelsis (S.H.O.K.K. Mix) (OK, this is as simple, blunt and germanic as it gets, but it's MASSIVE)
Björk Pagan Poetry (Infusion Mix) (gorgeous, a soft electro bassline with subtle breaks on top)
Sasha Cloud Cuckoo (Luke Chable Remix) (OK it doesn't top the original, but I loooove this 4/4 version)
Coldplay Clocks (Marco V Remix) (the unlikely combination of that piano melody and 160 bpm earbleeding Schranz techno really works!)
Scott Bond vs Solar Stone 3rd Earth (trance at its finest)
Marco V c:\del *.mp3 (sinister tech trance/techno banger)
Syntax Pray (what the hell is this? something between synthpop, progressive and electro...fascinating stuff)
Anne Clark Sleeper In Metropolis (Sleeper In Berlin Remix) (what's with all the Anne Clark worshipping in Germany all of a sudden? Anyway, I'm not complaining!)
Bart van Wissen Illuminate (on their own, a few of those dreaded progressive tunes are actually quite amazing!)

And M.I.K.E. has about a dozen new tunes coming up once the Lightning/Bonzai bankruptcy problems are sorted out. Until then, Ice Cream is still the one to beat...

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 10:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That Braxe/Falke track is excellent yeah, I've heard it. With you on the Shake It thing, very tedious subliminal style filler tracks.


The carter one is pretty good, better than his last two anyway. Have you heard Bucci Bag Siegbran? It's bound to be huge, and pretty hard to resist, obvious and all as it is.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I've had Bucci Bag song since february, it was on the Hed Kandi Twisted Disco compilation. Like the tune, but I'm not as completely awed like many people seem to be...

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

No it's nothing marvellous, agreed. The P Diddy thing has been the only real stop the car and marvel moment of the year so far for me. Having said that I haven't been out much in the last 3 or 4 weeks so might be missing the Miami stuff coming through in the clubs.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 11:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Tune of the year alert:

Adam Beyer Ignition Key (Speedy J Remix) (already legendary on whitelabel, when is this coming out???)

Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 11 April 2003 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Haven't heard it yet, grrrr.


My brother tells me David Guetta Vs David Bowie is something to be downloaded and listened to.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 April 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds interesting, what Bowie & Guetta songs are mashed up?

I finally managed to get my hands on a set rip of the Beyer track, and oooooohhhh....all the hype is true, the original Ignition Key is just plain insignificant in comparison. With tracks like this, the techno revival is far from over. I can even imagine it crossing over to non-techno DJs, like La Rock 01 and Gatex did.

Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 11 April 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Jesus I need to be able to download!

The Guetta/Bowie track is called "Just For One Day" so I presume Heroes is there somewhere. I'll clarify later.


I also forgot to mention Justin Robertson's Ruckus Juice record. Re:the techno revival, it strikes me just now that the significant problem in my understanding of it is that the DJs coming here are old skool techno types who aren't playing these sort of tracks. Am I right in guessing the techno revival is techno becoming a single scene moreso than before? In Europe is it new young DJs who are part of this revival as opposed to the old guard?

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It feels like it has become a single scene, yes - although I'm not THAT much of a hardcore technohead to really have any authority on that matter. The DJ/producers that rose to fame in the last three years (Adam Beyer, Umek, Chris Liebing, Marco Carola, Ben Sims, Gaetano Parisio) seamlessly fit in with the somewhat rejuvinated old guard from the 80s and early 90s (Mauro Picotto, Speedy J, Marco Zaffarano, Sven Väth, Rush, etc). Young and old, everybody's playing each others' records, collaborating/remixing each other, and while I don't think it's very healthy in the long run, it does give the whole euro techno thing a sense of unity.

Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 11 April 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

ha, first the 'silver screen' remix and now this diddy thing - i've got a vivid image of a behind-the-wheel ronan screeching to a handbrake halt on the highway everytime a good song comes on.

mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Friday, 11 April 2003 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you both so much -- off to Soulseek.

nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 11 April 2003 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

shouldn't be that difficult - I'm sharing most of my recommendations anyway....

Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 11 April 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

guetta/bowie is fucking great!


Also hearing that new Braxe track again; it is so like a bangalter/falcon record!


Speaking of the latter I also heard Bangalter's new single off the Irreversible soundtrack, "Outrage", it's pretty mental in a great Roule 1995 Trax On The Rocks techno style.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 14 April 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I've heard about Outrage, and it's supposed to be released on vinyl with remixes. Should be interesting, but I still have to hear it!

Siegbran (eofor), Monday, 14 April 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

it's almost vitalic-esque! my friend had the vinyl copy, he must have got a promo. Oh also Archigram's remix of the Stooges is very popular.


I heard the worst single of the year last night too, it's on Southern Fried, some awful rave mix of Good Life with disgusting sirens and bass in all the wrong places.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 14 April 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Can someone please keep this thread going until I get access to Soulseek in approximately three days time? I feel a downloading binge coming on.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 14 April 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Speaking about Vitalic, have you heard his remix of Lady B "Swany"? It's a year old I believe, but I've only recently heard this - it's totally "La Rock 01" part 2!!

One of the most bizarre (and probably worst, but I don't know whether to laugh or cry) tunes I've heard recently is the Master Blaster remix of Anjali "Im Nin Alu". The original is some popular arabic (?) tune, and apparently someone came up with the rediculous idea to hire some no-brainer Germans to do a by-the-numbers charttrance version.

Siegbran (eofor), Monday, 14 April 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

'Im Nin Alu' was Ofra Haza - Israeli i think, or Yemenite. it doesn't NEED remixing of course...

stevem (blueski), Monday, 14 April 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

OK I just listened to the Outrage vinyl in my local DJ shop on my lunchbreak. You're absolutely right Ronan, it's a floor-destroying monster. I recognize it from a liveset rip I had, probably Mauro Picotto? The 12" has two slower moody electro songs on the flipside, Night Beats and Paris By Night, loved those too.

By the way, here's a sample of Ignition Key, courtesy of TuneInn.com.

Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoaaaah! those trippy noises towards the end are fucking madness, it's in some weird limbo between deep and absolutely full on and banging, the drumbeat is quite old style aswell, almost a breakbeat.

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

The sample only gives three snapshots - the way the full tune actually builds is complete insanity. Those trippy noises appear about halfway in, get chopped up and filtered to hell and back...it's the best set opener ever!

Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I just heard that Tim Deluxe project under the moniker Saffron Hill which was meant to be very big in Miami too, I am undecided, at the beginning I thought "for a poor track this has some interesting ideas", then I thought "whoever this is has ripped off Tim Deluxe's drum programming from his remix of Love Story", then it got considerably better towards the end.

I'd need to hear it again, obviously it's business as usual summer house stuff, but it had a certain charm by the end.

Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I love it! You're talking about Saffron Hill My Love Is Always Theeeeere, right? Another Tim Deluxe connection that is pretty great: Sam Obernik Mr Butterfly (M Factor Mix).

Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

'Im Nin Alu' was Ofra Haza - Israeli i think, or Yemenite.

Haza herself was Israeli, the song was Yemenite... and no it doesn't need remixing, sounds truly abysmal...

Dave Stelfox, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok Tim Deluxe's other single "Less Talk More Action" is wicked! It's going to be giant, as big as "It Just Won't Do" I'd say.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Got to check that out then. And I finally found out why those M Factor songs/remixes sound so much like speed garage - it's the same guy who was 187 Lockdown!

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to the Essential Selection now and it's helping me identify tracks which I knew.

Tony Senghore-The System-Scuzzy house with greasy trombone sample and a great dual purpose sample from some political speech which goes "IS THE SYSTEM WORRRKING?"

Harry Romero featuring Robert Owens-I Go Back-Intro dead similar to Mr Fingers-Can You Feel It, it's quite a builder, eventually culminating in usual Subliminal style funk work out, no problems there. The vocal is all "when music had a meaning" etc etc etc, but who cares.

There seems to be a massive massive trend this year for pure funk records, almost like the techy and proggy elements have been chucked out the window and we're destined for one massive beach party. So many of the Miami records are latin tinged, it's strange.

The other one is Junior Jack's new single-E Samba, it's got that massive Thrill Me style bassline and the squeaky guitar cuts but once again it's got a big latin vocal over it. It's hard to see where this has all come from, I suppose Tim Deluxe last year maybe.

If you can manage it, it's worth listening to the Buzz Chart part of Lottie's Essential Selection from last week, all the tracks so far have been getting played out.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml/?essselection#

The only M Factor track I'm familiar with is that Mother one from last year, that was pretty cool, I never heard any DJ play it though, strangely.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Tony Senghore has 3 remixes featured, and also the essential new tune is by him, seems to be quite popular.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Dudes! This thread is like a fucking seminar! Keep it up...

Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't believe this is the first time I've listened to the Essential Selection online, I should be doing this weekly. I also can't wait to hear a DJ play all this fucking samba stuff all at once, preferably at Glasto on a sunny afternoon.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I love stuff like this because, to be honest with you, dance music is like a maze to me. No other genre has the power to stop me in my tracks (as Ronan proves upthread), but I'm very wary of some very dodgy stuff out there, too. I want to know more about everything, but for me, trying to learn about dance music is like learning about music all over again. I had the energy to do that when I was fifteen, but now I'm an old man and I need help finding my way.

Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

As long as it's not a retreat into Ian fucking Pooley territory, I'm all for the return to 'tropical' sounding house. Even techno is catching the virus, just listen to Cave Street Carnival, which starts out as your average 4/4 tune, but quickly spirals into a fantastic Brazilian batucada frenzy! The response on dancefloors is amazing, people go completely mental.

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Big Bang Theory's Do You Got Funk seems another one which will be big.

The Junior Jack record is so so similar to Thrill Me, but it's too good a formula not to work again, people love basslines so much it can't fail.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

No matter how much time you spend on it, dance music as a whole is always a maze. Every year, tens of thousands of new tunes appear on vinyl. You can't possibly keep up with all house, techno, trance, electro, house, progressive, and other scenes all around the world.

There's about ten producers in various genres that I actively follow and try to hear everything from, and for the rest I follow DJ playlists and recommendations from trainspotters in a more or less random fashion. And even with the best 'reliable' sources, less than half of what they recommend/play is actually good...

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh christ, Ian Pooley. Also that lame brazilian stuff that Basement Jaxx used to turn out by the truckload. Ew. Latin-tinged house has very bad antecedents....

Anybody heard any of that disco-y jungle stuff recently, or am I imagining it?

Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you both so much -- off to Soulseek.

Seconded, this thread has been very helpful.

Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

OK some more tunes:

M.I.K.E. Turn The Lights Off
Plastic Boy Live Another Life
The Gift Love Angel (three new M.I.K.E. productions, heard these on his radio set a weeks ago. God exists, and he's twiddling knobs in Antwerp)
High Voltage Bombs Away (sick, stomach churning hardstyle, bordering on gabber. Nobody on this board will like it.)
Fast Floor Sirens Of Time (Überdruck Remix) (another fat, filthy hardstyle monster. Only sounds good on soundsystems with BASS)
Benny Benassi Satisfaction (dirty electro with robot vocals)
Master Blaster Hypnotic Tango (Original House Mix) (this is sooooo disco. Why they let some silly MC shout over the track is a mystery, but the 70s disco vocals and the groove are irresistable)
Nightcrawlers Push The Feeling On 2003 (JCA Club Mix) (a radical rework, and it works all the way.)
Bangkok Impact Junge Dame Mit Freundlicher Telefonstimme (technically 2002, but it is getting a rerelease with remixes soon. Quite simply the horniest electrodisco groove since Billie Jean, complete with a hideously infectious 'double clap' every 4 bars. Also includes: the best one-finger-synth-line ever - I can't hype this enough!)
Soul Rebels The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Plastic Music Mix) (never mind the cool speech, listen to that looped house groove!!!)
Soulsearcher ft Donna Allen Feelin' Love (Axwell Vocal Mix) (1991-style diva house is back!)

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

There's about ten producers

Moodymann
Francois Kevorkian
Herbert
Maurizio
...

are they on the list?

Jan Geerinck (jahsonic), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 21:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Benny Benassi Satisfaction (dirty electro with robot vocals)

Seconded.

Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

are they on the list?

No, I'm sorry. But they're on yours, right?

At the moment, I'm a fanatical admirer of M.I.K.E. (producing/collaborating under more than 80 aliases and releasing about 30 originals and remixes a year, grrrr), Überdruck, Vitalic, Danny Wolfers/Legowelt, Alphazone, Tomcraft, Filterheadz, Thomas Bangalter, Felix Da Housecat, Gabriel & Dresden and Westbam. Everything these guys touched in the past year seems to be amazing. No doubt half of these wil disappoint me in the near future, and I'll shift focus in a ruthless manner, but that's the way it goes.

Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard the Carl Cox remix of Sunshine today, it's interesting. I think he's just swapped the beat and the music, so now you get a straight up thumping beat (4/4 if i recall correctly) and the vocal samples and bells bash in and out in a mentalist way, it's great.

Also listened to that E Shout thing on Subliminal, it's a bit of a laugh, nothing fantastic.

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha that David Guetta Vs Bowie thing is the greatest idea ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30 seconds of listening and it's in full effect on my brain here.

Ok obviously the entire point of it which I hadn't thought of before hearing it is that you use the big famous riff from Heroes and loop it so you have a 4/4 house beat with that MASSIVE wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and the bassline. And then you let Bowie sing "we can be heroes just for one day" a few times, lather rinse repeat!

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Siegbran, if you're into techno/electro, you should definitely check out stuff done by Technasia (if you've not already, of course). If you don't buy vinyl, they've had a couple cd's: Future Mix (which collects together their vinyl releases) and the Plus Mix series, with a mix by both guys (Charles Sieglin and Amil Khan).

Randall Helms (RPH), Thursday, 17 April 2003 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I love Technasia! The current "Nebula/Final Quadrant" vinyl is amazing, exactly the way I like it, dark, banging and somewhere between techno, electro and a slight hint of trance. Hell, even M.I.K.E. has been playing it in his sets, and who am I to disagree with God?

Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 18 April 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

what was that tune that was played out last night ronan?

gareth (gareth), Friday, 18 April 2003 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

the robert owens/ harry romero thing is retro crap. i picked up bucci bag today and it's fucking brilliant.

michael wells (michael w.), Saturday, 19 April 2003 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

further technasia bizness: their remix of the early trance classic 'schoenberg' by marmion on some german label (superstition?) is really niiiice.

Tons of nice techno out there lately...cold dust remix of ignition technician, octave one's 'working night' remix, the dj misjah on jericho, killer breaky detroitey number, almost everything diego has been releasing on kanzleramt, including the newest full length. The deetron on music man (uncutfunk) has mad funky chopped up samplage...I love it all!!!

Shit. Listened to the Carl Craig and Pepe Braddock thing yesterday but didn't think that much of it. Today everyone on ilm is talking up the bass on that track and I didn't hear it due to shitty headphones...

Jacob (Jacob), Sunday, 10 August 2003 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm the bass isn't that amazing I think, it's the laidback groove in combination with the (Portugese?) vocals and the clapping I like about that track. It's a grower, it didn't do much for me at first either.

The M Factor track on the other hand, is total speedgarage bass heaven.

Siegbran (eofor), Sunday, 10 August 2003 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

oh lets go for it then

Tomas Raumschmiere-Monster Truck Driver (glam rock style techno)

Dibaba-Hold You (Agoria's Bear Remix) THIS is what the Chemical Brothers used to sound like, this.

Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 10 August 2003 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Can anyone recommend anything in the way of trance/house remixes of pop tunes?

Sonny A. (Keiko), Sunday, 10 August 2003 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

more from me later

Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 10 August 2003 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Can anyone recommend anything in the way of trance/house remixes of pop tunes?

some already mentioned above, but:
David Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors (Junkie XL Vocal Mix) (you'll probably know this because EVERYBODY is spinning this one)
Madonna - Hollywood (Paul Oakenfold & Jacques Lu Cont remixes) (the Jacques one as usual, Oakie back from his 70s disco/pop/prog breaks adventures in the usual big room trance territory again)
Jewel - Intuition (Markus Schultz Coldharbour Remix) (Jewel moans & groans over a gorgeous prog groove, in the same way the Humate remix of Boys Of Summer worked so well)
Kate Bush vs Infusion - Running Up That Hill (same recipe as above)
Adam Freeland - 7th Nation Freeland (= bits & pieces of 7 Nation Army re-edited in a looped, filtered groove)
Nirvana vs Adam Freeland - Smells Like Teen Spirit (same recipe)
56k ft Bejay - Save A Prayer (Duran Duran in DJ Sammy poptrance style. Normally a recipe for disaster, but somehow this *works*)
Eric Sneo - Ciao Bella (quite minimal techno tune which uses the loop of Mano Chao - Bongo Bong to great effect)
Annie Lennox - Pavement Cracks (Gabriel & Dresden Club Mix) (usual G&D fare; impossibly perfectly sculptured prog that only breaks loose after 5+ minutes)
Avril Lavigne - I'm With You (Leama & Moor Remix) (Avril as full-on trance diva)
Moloko - Forever More (Francois K Remix) (beautiful & minimal)

that Syntax track is well good siegbran, someone else was playing that the other day

your mention of secret cinema led me to slsk, where i found this great track called Masculinity. do you know it? when is it from? sounds harder than their normal stuff, dutch warehouse style. be careful with the Timeless Attitude downloads on slsk thuogh people, i got one and it was actually Capricorn's 20hz. i have timeless attitude in one of the trife folders though...

Such an array! Siegbran, let me know what you thought of my e-mail. ;-)

I heard an amazing stuttery house mix (very Freaks, actually) of James Brown's "Get Up (Sex Machine)" the other night. AMAZING. Anyone know what it is?

Secret Cinema - Masculinity

There's a wicked robotic type mix of Superbad going around and it is absolutely amazing pressure building acid house style stuff, but you did say Get Up (Sex Machine).

More,

Moguai-Get On (big chunky guitars, slight vitalic rip off on the melody, who cares)

Christopher Just-I Just Love Acid Too, scummy acid blips and it samples the old aciiiiiiiiiiiiiied shout. Pretty cool, it's a little bit like a wackier version of old UR stuff like Groundzero-The Planet or that kind of thing.
