Freur - Matters of the heart (Dun difrunt)

Freur is the name of the second band (following the art school collaboration, Screen Gemz, The) of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, who went on to found the successful electronic act Underworld. The band was formed in the early 1980s in Cardiff, Wales by Hyde, Smith and Alfie Thomas. It originally had only a graphic 'squiggle' for a name. In 1983, after recruiting John Warwicker and drummer Bryn Borrows (formerly of the Fabulous Poodles), they got a recording contract with CBS Records, and met the label's insistence on a pronounceable name, with the compromise that the squiggle was pronounced Freur.
