The 2005 track "Anything" by Robert G. and Nick Unique featuring Lyane Leigh serves as a fascinating time capsule of the transition from late-90s Eurodance to the more polished, commercial hands-up style of the mid-2000s. While it might appear as a standard dance floor filler at first glance, the collaboration represents a convergence of Eurodance royalty and the evolving digital production landscape of the era.

Musically, the track is a masterclass in the "hands-up" subgenre. It utilizes the signature off-beat basslines and wide, saw-tooth lead synths that defined the sound of European clubs during that period. However, "Anything" distinguishes itself through its melodic optimism. Unlike the darker techno or the more minimalist house that began to gain traction around the same time, this track leans fully into unapologetic pop-sensibilities. It champions the idea that dance music’s primary function is emotional release through accessible, soaring choruses.

Lyane Leigh, the voice behind massive 90s hits from acts like E-Rotic and S.E.X. Appeal, brings a specific "vocal DNA" to the track. Her performance in "Anything" bridges the gap between the high-energy, almost cartoonish vibrancy of the 90s and the more structured, synth-heavy production preferred by German producers Robert G. and Nick Unique. This collaboration highlights a recurring theme in electronic music history: the "heritage vocal." By the mid-2000s, producers were actively seeking out iconic voices from the previous decade to lend credibility and a sense of nostalgic euphoria to new, harder dance styles.

  2. For 551-553, you need Rowan to be corrupted, Alexia to have learned magic with Cliohna and not have influence toward Andras and Jezeras. Her corruption level is not important. The scene trigger when you visit the Catacomb
    For 483, I think this is a bug because this cg is part of an animation with 484. Seems that the game unlock only 484

    • i know that 483 should be unlocked along with the 484 but at least on latest steam build was bugged and didn’t triggered, haven’t got the chance to try on the current build
      as for 551-553 i was able to repro them as well yesterday( I was able to get it with both corrupt Rowan and Alexia, and no magic learned, will have to try few more times to see if any of them are required) this scene was bugged on previous steam build but it’s obtainable now, but will edit after I manage to repo all the new CGs
      and will have to take a look for the X’Zaratl CGs as some of the requirements have been changed

  3. good work on this. Seems I havnt missed hardly anything, If I count some of my older play throughs. The few i did miss would require choosing things I simply wouldnt choose while playing lol (like siding with Werden) maybe sometime when Im bored just to unlock them. Thanks for helping me figure out Ive managed to nail just about everything available atm.
