Drummer/composer Dave Kerman revived the 5uu's in the mid 90's with long time keyboardist Sanjay Kumar and guitarist/bassist/vocalist Bob Drake of Thinking Plague. As the review says below, it strongly hints at a parallel universe combination of Yes and Henry Cow / Art Bears.
A great disc of composed avant rock which comes highly recommended.
"5uu's is one of the more perplexing bands limning the rock-in-opposition/prog rock ethos and also one of the most inventive. The group's music displays vigorous bouts of energy amid a refined and literate sense of wordplay.
The presence of guest Thomas DiMuzio, who contributes his own crazed collection of electronic paraphernalia to the soup, only exacerbates an already frenzied atmosphere. Nursery rhymes somehow find themselves led lemming-like through a forest perilous of King Crimsonesque nuclear bursts, while sweet harmonies hint at a parallel-universe Yes and Henry Cow/Art Bears chamber-rock pyrotechnics. HUNGER'S TEETH is an unsettling yet cathartic trip for the metabolically challenged."-AllMusic
