This is the only worthwhile link I've been able to find so far.
Unfortunately, it's in Espanol, and mine sucks:

I've found one Brazilian record store on the Net, searching their stock
turned up no Plan V.  I'm still pursuing this.

Here's the humorous translation courtesy of Babelfish:

Plan V and Black Dog " Plan Black V Dog " Only rates rested and repetitive
until the hypnosis is possible to find in this disc, in which the band
Chilean-Argentinean Plan V Perhaps shares furrows and ideas with the
English project Black Dog.  the same rest that proposes a life far from
the recitales in stages and the sobreexhibition (something new in the case
of Gustavo Cerati, ex- Stereo Soda water and visible face of the South
American quartet).=20

The first which it calls attention is, in any case, the title page art of
this production that adds to the album " Plan V ", debut of the project
completed with Andr=E9s Bucci, Cristi=E1n Powditch and Guillermo Ugarte. A
triangular cut in its box (as a arrow), it manages to wake up the
curiosity of those who we did not have an pleasant sensation after
listening to a first work disordered and full of pseudoimprovised plains,
tied by a continuous and demoralizing pulse: the minimal big drum.

" Finger Data " and " Doorman " is the new creations of Plan V, total of
groove of low semi-dub plus a simple and difficult rythmical programming,
one of the characteristics of which intelligent is denominated " techno ".
Like corolario, one remezcla of " Crew member " (subject of its first
disc) done by Black Dog transports to us by primitive rituals closing the
disc.=20

The conclusion is quite clear: Black Dog works far better in its own
works;  and Plan V, no. A correct disc, but without identity. Yes, I know
that to speak of " own styles " in the electronic scope he is somewhat
complex. Nevertheless, people like Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, The Orb and
Brian Eno they have demonstrated that it is the key of the importance.
