# Brussels Sound Revolution

Brussels Sound Revolution was a Belgian new beat band who had a novelty song hit in their home country with the 45 tours single Qui...? (1989), which featured samples of the speech Belgian former Prime Minister Paul Vanden Boeynants gave after he had been kidnapped by the gang of Patrick Haemers that year.

## History

Brussels Sound Revolution was a project by Paul Denoy, the former bass player of the bands Marine, Snowy Red and La Muerte, and producer Jacky Maurer. The group released one single, Qui...? based on the kidnapping of Paul Vanden Boeynants on January 14, 1989. After a month, on February 13, the kidnappers, Patrick Haemers, Philippe Lacroix, Kapllan Murat, Marc Van Dam and Denise Tyack were arrested and Vanden Boeynants was freed without severe harm. He organized a press conference in which he explained what happened during his kidnapping, mentioning that he was angry when his trademark pipe had been stolen, leading to the question: Qui m'a enlevé ma pipe? (Who has taken my pipe?). Denoy and Maurer felt it would be funny to sample parts of Vanden Boeynants' speech and make a song about it in the style of the internationally popular new beat genre. They named their group Brussels Sound Revolution, which shared the same initials as the Brigade Spéciales de Recherche, the police corps who arrested the criminals. The song was called Qui...?, after the recurring refrain. It became a hit in Belgium, received its own music video and sold over 50.000 copies. Vanden Boeynants let the song be, but still asked publicity rights through his lawyer.
Brussels Sound Revolution also recorded a song called C'est Moi, which sampled parts of Patrick Haemers' press conference speech, but this was not a success.

# Flag of Guayaquil

The flag of Guayaquil was established after the victory of the emancipatory troops in the independence of the city on October 9, 1820 as the insignia of the Free Province of Guayaquil that encompassed several provinces of the current Ecuadorian coast. It is maintained that it was José Joaquín de Olmedo who devised the sky blue and white pavilion, being himself the one who designed the current coat of arms of the city. The flag is divided into 5 horizontal stripes, 3 of them sky blue and the other 2 white. In addition in the central sky blue fringe there are 3 white stars.
In his "Historical Review", José de Villamil states that on October 9, 1820 "...by arrangement of the Junta (Government) was deployed the independent Guayaquil flag composed of five horizontal strips, three blue and two white and in the one from the center (blue) three stars...".
Within the history of the Ecuadorian flag, this flag is considered the 4th national flag, which flamed on the battlefield, as the insignia of the Yaguachi Battalion, during the victory of the independentist troops over the Spanish troops in the Battle of Pichincha. Within the republican history, it is the second one, if the red flag with a white X-cross is supposed to be valid, which was supposedly the one of August 10, 1809. In practice, it is the first flag that represented a truly free territory as that today is Ecuador.
There is still confusion about the representation of the 3 stars of the central strip. It is believed that the stars represent the 3 main provinces of the Royal Audience of Quito, these being: Quito, Cuenca and Guayaquil. Some historians say that they represent the 3 main cities of the Free Province of Guayaquil, which are: Portoviejo, Machala and the capital city Guayaquil.

Human Tornado of GamePro said in one review, "Wild Wild Racing is a good off-road racing game with a decent amount of replay value, but overall it's not as good as it could have been. Still, if you're up for some racing action in the dirt, Wild Wild Racing will give you a run for your money." In another GamePro review, Major Mike said, "WWR isn't a total washout: It does have some cool play modes, such as a stunt track and skill challenge, but, ultimately, WWR is a game that would have benefited from more time in the development shop before release."
