are you taking the piss? two ex-members of freur team up with darren emerson, one of the uk's best techno/house djs. combining their studio and production knowledge with his dancefloor experience they produce a couple of singles for junior boys own as lemon interrupt. changing their name to underworld they produce a couple more singles and a debut album. lots of people buy the records. no bandwagon is involved. underworld kick ass, live and on record. and don't forget the tomato. later matt ------------------------------ matt isxmcd@evn1.nott.ac.uk ------------------------------ purveyor of mad lifted beats ------------------------------
