That may be true...and so I will add "Fieldwork" 12" EP to your list of
reccommendations, not because of the Thomas Dolby A-side collaboration,
but because of the musique concrete style 15-min piece on the B-side. It
is an instrumental called "Exhibition" that has hard-panned non-synced
digital phone tones clicking away in each channel. Similar to "Esperanto"

I'd like to hear this instrumental EP then! The vocals just bug me 80%
of the time
ON the topic of these artists of the early 80's, I think that yesterday I
just gutted out a few of Seattle's better vinyl stores' bins for YMO (1000
knives 12" mint!), Bill Nelson, John Foxx, and german new wave..
BTW, The Der Plan LP I found (mint, $2) was engineered by none other than
MIKE INK!! The album doesn't have the year listed, but it looks to be
'83-ish.

After the above (except the vocal Naughty Boys), I'm more into the solo
Sakamoto stuff from '78-'86, but then I'm all cracked-out on Nurse With
Wound, so just ignore me....
