You haven't missed much. Variously resembles Thompson Twins or INXS, though admittedly far more listenable to my ears than either. The albums demonstrate the artists' talent, but they sure seem to have been made to be "chart-worthy"...though they apparently did not sell well and are deleted. I am glad they finally came to their senses and started doing what I suspect they would have really wanted to do all along!

Underworld.

The first Freur album, _Doot Doot_, was reissued recently on CD, at least in the US. It includes two extra tracks that were originally B-sides. The title track is stunningly good. Although nothing else on the album is quite up to that standard, a few tracks come close, and it is an overall strong release. If nothing else the album does establish a coherence between their artistic goals c. 1982 and the mid-'90s. (Surely you can recognize a bit of early-'80s sound in _dubnobasswithmyheadman_...) Freur also released a 2nd album (German only??), but I've never seen it. Apparently it sank without a trace. Too bad.
