I asked about this on IDM some time ago, and to my great surprise, was
told that it's not the same Ken Ishii. !!??? That's got to be correct,
b/c I saw a photo of Ishii (aka Flare etc., not the cello guy) in a
mixmag and he looked much too young to have been hangin' with Steve Reich
in the 70's. It's odd, though, two Ken Ishii's running around with a
predilection for detailed, intricate repetitive music... but stranger
things have happened, I suppose. J
