RE-SET are a band from Baixa da Banheira in Portugal.
Band's History
In the end of the summer of 97 RE-SET (originally RESET) was born with Dinho on vocals, Flávio on bass, Walter and Carlos on guitars and later Castanheira on drums.
For a while with DRIFTAWAY as the band’s name they wrote some songs influenced by traditional Heavy Metal and with a gothic touch.
In the year 2000 by the need to feel their songs more heavy they took a though decision, they put aside all their songs and started to create new more heavy songs. Later for professional reasons Flávio left the band, and Fernando took his place. The entry of this new element became a landmark on Reset’s history because it was when the name changed to Reset after his suggestion. On May 19th, they played their first live concert in a place called El Matador (Barreiro) with a band called Shut. They played five songs, "The Search", "Which One", "Breaking the Law", "Human Eye" and a Paradise Lost cover "The Last Time". The stage debut was above the band’s expectation with excellent response from the audience.
On January and February of 2001 they finally decided to record their first demo on the Cabral brothers Boom studios. The demo had 3 themes, "S.Y.T.", "Breaking the Law” and The "Search", although it didn’t turn out as they really wish as a final product, it was very positive because allowed Reset to gain some studio experience. After some line-up changes and some live concerts they decided to record their second demo called “Freedom”. This demo was recorded on November 23rd and 24th on Floyd studios, produced by Nuno Loureiro and the band itself. The demo which contains five songs: "Sorry", "Freedom", "A Matter of Pride", "Regret" and "Know", shows a more aggressive and heavy RE-SET. On January of 2004 once more for professional reasons Walter left the band, this exit was the hardest of all to the band as Walter was one of it’s founders. To his place entered André who also plays guitar on Shut. After some rehearsals André was ready to play live with the band, on the concerts in Algarve together with My Enchantment, first in Indian’s Saloon(Silves) on March 5th and later in Satori 666(Loulé) on April 10th. During 2005 the band strongly promotes "Freedom", being picked up for six music contests, the shooting of "A Matter of Pride" video clip [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avsDwtjLcD8 (see video on YouTube)] and three tracks being included in the Bodyboarding documentary "Hotspots".
The year of 2006 was used by RE-SET to record a new CD entitled "Love and Hate". Finished in January of this year, the CD is composed by eight new tracks (“Remember”, “Love and Hate”, “Rise”, “Lonely”, “Fire Desire”, “Game of Lies”, “Lunacy” and “You and I”) and it was produced by Daniel Cardoso (Headcontrol System, Del).
In 2007 they changed their name to RE-SET to avoid copyright issues.

C.R.E.A.M. (an acronym for Choose Right Easy and Mellow) House music night was a musical event established in Birmingham, England in 1990. The events often took place in underground venues across the greater Birmingham area, and sometimes used a commercial nightclub after its usual closing time. C.R.E.A.M. still takes place in venues across the city and is possibly one of the longest running underground house nights in Europe.
The flyers often read "Venue... through the grapevine" and "2 till u curdle". Various record and clothes shops were informed of an impending event, with Pirate Radio stations helping out too. Tickets were frequently marked as Birthday party invitations; some of the more memorable venues included a disused shoe factory and a freaky night in a Laser-Tag establishment.
Hundreds of party-goers would converge on the venue and dance until daybreak with regular DJs such as Tony De Vit, Mark Jarman, Patrick Smooth, Scott Bond, Owen Owens, John Snakehips, Jon Hollis, and Dani Technici. Special guests would usually accompany the regular DJs, such as Roger Doctor the Background Boys, John Kelly and Funky Bus.

Smile Land is another domed city in the vast wastes outside of Romdo in the anime Ergo Proxy. Like many of the domed cities that Re-l, Pino, and Vincent encounter, Smile Land has a unique "character". While Romdo is a technological, capitalist paradise and other domes are throwbacks to 1950's Americana, Smile Land is a dome society that is structured like an amusement park. It is most closely recalls a Disney site.
True to the Walt Disney homage implicit in the story, the park is overseen by the benevolent dictator / cartoonist (and possible Proxy) Will B. Grant. Will's dream is to make sure that all those within Smile Land are happy and having a good time. Within Smile Land, curiously, a genuine smile seems hard to come by. The denizens are much impressed by Pino's authentic and dazzling smile.
Throughout Smile Land posters ( in lurid 1950's "Attack of the Giant Leeches" style ), warn of "The Attack of the Ergoproxy" featuring the mask of Ergo Proxy shooting lasers out of his eyes and massacring a screaming, confused Smile Land population.
While the crew of the Rabbit never actually visit Smile Land, Smile Land's inhabitants come to Pino in a dream while she is powering up.
During her visit to Smile Land Pino is assisted by two animated characters. One a dopey, but good-natured bear who is "always hungry" and another punk-rock styled cat in a leather jacket "with a bad attitude". Given that the characters themselves describe themselves as such implies a meta-awareness that is both humorous and disconcerting given that so much of Ergo Proxy's action hinges around the question of who someone truly is.
In the climactic scene of the visit occurs when Pino is seated within a large theater and watches Will at his desk, benevolently asking her questions in the style of Walt Disney's introduction to "Wonderful World of Disney" shorts. Pino is asked by Will ( who speaks to her directly from the screen ) if she knows of anything Vincent treasures. Alternatively he asks if she knows if Vincent has any known weaknesses when he is "big and strong". Pino, while certainly knowing that Vincent values his medallions, refuses to tell and shows her loyalty to Vincent.
"Smile Land", the episode, highlights an interesting aspect of inter-Proxy relationships: they fear each other and believe they are out to kill one another in a manner reminiscent of the "Highlander" series.
Upon awaking from her dream Pino tells Vincent, at the helm of The Rabbit that he musn't go to the dome city he sees on the horizon. While Re-l doesn't believe in listening to her, Vincent, in a display of faith and friendship honors her request. A cut back to the theater where Pino parlayed with Will shows a movie that ends with a voice-over from will stating that a sweet girl named Pino had saved Smile Land.
