Why in the world does this track need 200+ comments?  Sometimes the comment boards just confound me....

Anybody remember what movie this was used in?  Was it one of the "Oceans" movies, or something else? Driving me a little crazy...


Yup. Ocean's 12, I believe. The one with Vincent Cassel. He did a kind of parkour thing to this song.

This is what I so love about RP... the chance of hearing this on any other radio station in remarkably remote. Granted, not the most epic song but still. You heard it first on RP... thanks guys.

It sure would be interesting to have Bill's database to crunch some of the numbers on this "song"(?) vs. the rest of the RP repertoire.  I bet this is one of the widest distributions, if not THE widest. What a weird piece of music!  At times I was ready to go for 7 or 8, and three bars later I was thinking that 1 would be too generous. 

 
I'd also like to see the "exit song" numbers.  After listening to RP quite a bit this afternoon, this was the song that got me up and hitting the close button on WinAmp.

Posted 11 years ago by The_Enemy    [ Reply ]
This must be the RP equivalent of a small town airport calling itself "International"....you gotta have at least one flight across the border.  This qualifies RP for "range".   The only good part of this song is remembering the laser dance in Ocean's 12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr834Cs9ncs

In rotation on R.P. for 6 years, 400 votes, and still cant crack a rating of 6. I think this song needs to be retired. SO many good ecclectic songs out there that could take its place.

That's a nice picture to hold in the mind :o). Once again, the Nottingham jury finds itself giving 7 to a number which has a massive number of sucko-barfos. Perverse, or what?

He doesn't have a full CD out yet. He's a french hip-hop/house producer, with occasional releases of his own. Check out his collaboration with Hi-Tekk, called La Caution. The CD "Pienes de Maures / Arc-en-ciel pour Daltoniens" has this track on it. (Which I translate as Afro Combs / Rainbows for the Colorblind)
