"Under The Flag" is an experimental electronic album released in 1982 by Fad Gadget.

Written by Frank Tovey for the most part concerning his fear for the future of the world, in light of having just becoming a father. He was apparently afraid of the world his son was going to grow up in. Sampling, which was new technology back in the early 1980s is incorporated into the album and sequencing is also heavily used.

"Scapegoat" features a Dutch nursery rhyme. 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.
