6 years later and their music is still being pinched. It just goes to show that people really don't know what's good for them. Fluke have been round for ages, not that anybody would know. The only time people would have heard Fluke is being nailed to the back of their cinema seat in the middle of some action epic. From the same school of music as the Chems, the Prodigy, Orbital and the Crystal Method, Fluke seem to have shunned the limelight of, quite frankly, being the best and the one consistent element of electronic music today. People in the industry, music and film, know and love Fluke for the atmosphere they create. Their music is completely uncompromising with pauses for breath being a rare but beautiful thing. Every track here has a cohesive element here. They are pretty all as good as each other. The time when my hair truly stood on end was the final track. Usually the final slot is taken by a slower, more introspective piece. Not here. Its like a messenger heralding armageddon, but much, much worse. Exciting is not the word for this album. I think the first track title sums up the album. A defining piece of British electronica that will be totally ignored and there is nothing we can do about it.

That Fluke never got the plaudits handed out to the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and Underworld puzzles me as they pretty much plough the same furrow, except that their sound is perhaps more epic. Funny thing is that a lot of Fluke material, particularly from 'Risotto' has been used on TV ads and as background music on various programmes. After the relatively disappointing 'Oto' Fluke are back to the form showed on the cracking '8 wheels on my wagon'. There are no fillers here, although 'Kitten Moon' and 'Setback' are my particular faves. This is techno/breakbeat at its classiest and not a whiff of cheese. If your thing is Underworld/Orbital/Prodigy and Simple Minds circa 'new gold Dream' buy this before it gets deleted. In times of casio-by-numbers trance/garage, Fluke are much missed.

I bought this album because I love the track "Absurd", but I wasn't disappointed with the rest of it. "Absurd", which sounds good behind any film action sequence, "Atom Bomb", which sounds slightly like Primal Scream, and "Goodnight Lover" are fantastic, as is "Amp". They are the faster tracks, and the rest are great to chill out to. Buy this now!

Risotto, by Fluke
This is really not my kind of music! I like tunes, and words your Gran can listen to. But when I borrowed this cd from the library I was blown away! Read more

This is not the brilliant light, fresh, fluty Fluke of Taxi, Joni, Thumper etc. Nor is it the derranged and edgy Fluke of Electric Guitar and She's a Rainbow. Read more

Delightfully insane...
It's a shame Fluke seem to have given up now. In the depressing world of garage and R n' B their tracks seem to be better than ever. Read more
