Flipper's Guitar, the Japanese duo of Keigo Oyamada and Kenji Ozawa, debuted
with a real band and the album
Three Cheers for Our Side (1989), derivative of cheesy Brit-pop of the 1980s, an album that is basically a compilation of their early material.
Their second and best album Camera Talk (1990), almost a post-modernist
exercise in quotation and reinterpretation, was influential and launched the Japanese pop movement of shibuya-kei.
Doctor Head's World Tower (1991) was derivative of the "Madchester" sound of
Stone Roses and
contains the ten-minute sound collage The World Tower.
