Under the Flag

Under the Flag is the third studio album released on September 1 1982, by experimental electronic artist Fad Gadget.

Written by Frank Tovey for the most part concerning his fear for the future of the world, in light of having just become a father.

Sampling, which was new technology back in the early 1980s is incorporated into the album and sequencing is also heavily used.

It features backing vocals by fellow Mute Records artist Alison Moyet, known for working on, at the time Yazoo with Vince Clarke.

Some of the ideas on this album were heavily inspired by German band Die Krupps and this is borne out by Fad Gadget's later album Gag which features Einstürzende Neubauten, who worked closely with Die Krupps.
