yeah Howie B 'borrowed' a bit of Fane (he 'produced' the track for U2) - when whichever major U2 are signed to's lawyers found out, they had a heart attack and phoned andy skam up and started offering him wedges of cash to clear it up as they had already pressed etc. a nice little earner for simon. he mentioned it in some interview somewhere months ago I thought it was old news. you can check out more of howie b's 'work', (as daddy long legs) on that pussy galore pussyfoot compilation - sound familiar Autechre spotters? g.
