Album Notes Fluke are the misfits of prescient big-beat, caught unawares between a public consciousness enamored with the likes of Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers and their attendant media blitz. It's too bad. The bastard cousins of diminished capacity industrial forebears such as Front 242, Fluke, conquerors of the U.K., haven't been able to get arrested in the U.S. That is, not until the release of RISOTTO and it's accompanying signature tune, "Atom Bomb." "Atom Bomb" is a visceral ammunitions depot set ablaze in a cloud of sequencers and electronic attitude. It places the electronic body movement that swept the other side of the pond in cahoots with contemporary electronica. Fluke are more than just a sum of their 1980s influences. The nine-plus minute "Kitten Moon" is an exercise in power tool electronics set on slower revolutions per minute, kept afloat on a bed of surging synth gyrations and bass-heavy magma. Fluke's anonymity vanished once this meddlesome recording held court on listening stations nationwide.
Editorial Reviews ...their beats are as relentless and no-frills as traditional techno gets. - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (10/31/1997)
...better than we deserve at this late stage of Fluke's ever-flawless career....they have the dumbest, greatest lyrics in dance. Melody Maker (10/04/1997)
