This is the only worthwhile link I've been able to find so far. Unfortunately, it's in Espanol, and mine sucks: http://chilerock.uchile.cl/discos/planv.html 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.
