This quote is false:
"and teamed up with Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes as "The Buggles" to produce the
worldwide hit, Video Killed the Radio Star..."
Also here - relevant quote:
http://www.80smusiclyrics.com/artists/buggles.htm"When Horn and Downes found themselves the only two remaining members of the
group, they dubbed themselves the Buggles, and scored an international hit with
"Video Killed the Radio Star.""
Zimmer may have been a producer, but he's neither a producer of The Buggles nor
in the writing credits for any of the songs. And more here:
http://www.murashev.com/dmdl/artist.php?id=27"The members: Geoffrey Downes, Trevor Horn, John Sinclair, Simon Darlow."
Even more quotes (about Video Killed The Radio Star):
"Well, we got a lucky break with the song, which had been turned down by every
record company, until my then-girlfriend played it to someone at Island Records,
and they signed me & Trevor there and then."
No mention of Zimmer.
http://www.asiaworld.org/history/general.php?cat=interview&cat_id=1I have "The Age Of Plastic" and Zimmer's name isn't mentioned anywhere. All
songs are written by Horn/Downes (and Wooley in some cases), and it was produce
by 'The Buggles'. Googling only lists a loose affiliation, but he definitely
wasn't part of the band.
