Tuu was an ambient group from the late 1980s to 1999. Led by Martin Franklin, the band emerged from the post acid house chill out scene of the early 1990s in the UK, blending electronica and the emerging sampling technology with traditional and invented global instrumentation.

Martin Franklin – clay pot drums, bowl gongs, water drums, Tibetan bells, samples, and percussion

Richard Clare – flutes and pan pipes

Mykl O'Dempsey – synthesizers and samples
