- A group called SandS of Russian composers from Demoscene.ru who compose music for computer games.

A Belgian 90's band from Torhout, with Guy van Nueten (piano, keyboards) and Michel Vanderhaeghen (guitar, vocals). Their nameless debut cd was produced by Bill Janovitz (Dinousaur Jr).
Later the band extended with 2 members: Roel de Loore on bass and Thor de Boos on drums.

Afterwards Guy Van Nueten became very present within the different project of the "Antwerp scene" : he worked with Daan Stuyven on his solo-cd, became a member of Mitsoobishy Jacson, played some of the keyboards on "The Ideal Crash" by dEUS, stood at the side of Tom Barman of the same dEUS during his solo-gigs such as the tribute to Nick Drake at De nachten or his performance at the Swiss Montreux Jazz-festival, founded Zon & Zero together with Jef Mercelis, took part in the recordings of the country project Chitlin Fooks (with Bettie Serveert & Pascal Deweze)
