The best record was the "Set", which was never released domestically in
the US nor ever made it to CD. I ripped it from the vinyl. :-)
The American version was pretty poorly mixed and track selections were
changed.
I knew about the Twins because I followed everything Thomas Dolby did
and he was involved. Can't recall, but John Leckie may have had a hand
in there as well (crack producer from back in that day). The rhythm
section on "Set" was also legendary. Some of them went on to form the
short lived Wide Boy Awake ("Chcken Outlaw").

Members of Freur built their own synths. They were into it. That's still
a great record, IMO.
I bought it before it got play - I'm close to 50 and I have always
bought blind. Plus I worked the counter at a record store as a 2nd job
and used to be the import orderer. I had LOTS of exposure from the order
lists and I always read the UK music rags faithfully. I recall waiting
for the P. Furs to get a contract and do a record for months after
reading raves about their gigs. Those were great days for music -
