Per the review: a British quintet dedicated to electronic pop, active 1983–1987; debut single "Doot Doot" made a strong impact; later singles fared less well; second album (1986) underperformed. They initially used a squiggle symbol and, after 1987, continued under the name Underworld. Karl Hyde (vocals) is Welsh; drummer Bryn Burrows is noted.
