Review by djrez1 Apr 23, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Freur were an early '80s band formed by Rick Smith & Karl Hyde (AKA Underworld).

One thing of note is how they predated Prince's use of a glyph as a name; they too were represented by a squiggly line. However, in order to better sell records they assigned the sound Freur to the glyph, had a minor hit with the song Doot-Doot, and then pretty much disappeared until the debut of Underworld MK1 in the late '80's.
