Plants and Wikler are campaigning ambitiously: 7 a.m. postering in the Yard, tabling during meals, science-center events featuring Wikler's girlfriend on stilts and recordings of Fatboy Slim, and endless door-to-door runs...
...thus has had the biggest crossover success. It borrows the percussion style of breakbeat (common samples include the drums in James Brown's "Funky Drummer" and those in Incredible Bongo Band's "Apache"), and throws in the squelch of the Roland 303 synthesiser, rock guitars, and whatever else fits.
