This is possibly true, however the main Buck/Otomo outfit of the time was
'Peril', which also featured Kato Hideki and Michael Sheridin.  These chaps
did an amazing tour of OZ in 1990-91, well before Otomo became the wire
pin-up boy he is today (can still recall Otomo using cd's on the turntable
to scrape the stylus against).   Dr Jim's label in Melbourne released a
Peril CD which is still pretty neat, roots of GZ.

re: fennesz,  put me in the 'plays' is a great leap forward from 'hotel'
boat also.   Never has my 'repeat' button had such a  workout than when i
first heard plays...
