Tuu was a British ambient band formed in 1989, led by Martin Franklin. The group emerged from the post-acid house chill-out scene of the early 1990s in the UK, blending electronica and sampling technology with traditional and invented global instrumentation. Their debut album One Thousand Years was released in 1993 on SDV Tontrager, followed by All Our Ancestors in 1995. In 1995, Tuu released two albums: Invocation, which was reissued as Tuu Archive later that year, and Maps Without Edges, a side project under the name Stillpoint with Eddy Sayer. The band continued to release albums such as Mesh in 1997 and Terma in 1998, collaborating with Nick Parkin on the latter. Their final release was the EP The Frozen Lands in 1999. Tuu disbanded later that year.
