2) Toy is an electronic duo formed by UK composer Alisdair Stirling and producer Jorgen Traeen from Bergen, Norway. They released 'Rabbit Pushing Mower/Valley Cars' in 2002 as a vinyl seven inch on Telle Records described by the BBC as an amusing cream puff of a tune. As Telle Records had a break, the label kindly handed Toy to Smalltown Supersound. This resulted in a new 7 single "Sedan Through Tunnel/Decorama". Both singles sold out quickly. In 2006 the duo released the debut album, Toy, on Smalltown Supersound. The album received brilliant critics. The track Rabbit Pushing Mower (from the album) opened their friend Annie`s DJ Kicks mix album for Studio K7 (out late in October 2005). Jorgen Traeen runs Duper Studios in Bergen, a space he also shares with Røyksopp, Datarock and Bjorn Torske among others. Traeen is a well known producer who among others has produced Sondre Lerche, Magnet and Jaga Jazzist. He also has his own solo project Sir Dupermann on Smalltown Supersound. Although a Londoner Stirling has his roots in Bergen where he is the driving force behind the Bergen pop workshop/collective 'House of Hiss'.

4) "Dire Straits"-like pop music straight from the water of Antwerp, Belgium. Toy released two albums in the eighties: Bad Night and The Split. Their songs have withstood the passage of time.
The song Suspicion is also featured on the album of the movie "Anyway the Wind Blows", directed by Tom Barman (dEUS). Suspicion has been chosen has one of his all time favourite Belgian songs.
Members of Toy have released solo-albums as well.
They also have a tribute project Fogertyshow, an amazing honour to John Fogerty and his music (also the CCR-era).
Some people around the band are working towards a come-back, and that would be great.

But sometimes he releases album as his own name, not Toy (ex. 익숙한 그집앞Iksukan Geujipap, 여름날Yeoreumnal). As a project, many guest singers, like Sung Si-Kyung, Kim Yeon-Woo, Kim Hyung-Joong, have been singing in albums. Yoo has his own music show called "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook".
