Bitten by the acid-house bug in 1988, Fugler, Tournier and Bryant began recording with two singles informed by more-than-competent guitar work, soaring techno-funk and plenty of pop inspiration as well. "Thumper" and "Joni" (the latter sampling Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi") brought Fluke much attention in the growing electronic sphere, and they signed a one-off album deal with indie-rock kingpins Creation for their debut full-length, 1991's Techno Rose of Blighty. After completing another record deal with Virgin that same year, Fluke released a live album Out (in essence) and their sophomore masterpiece Six Wheels on My Wagon, an album of poppy, occasionally dreamy ambient-trance which included several previously released singles. By 1995, Fluke had even hit the British charts (with the singles "Bullet" and "Tosh") and their third LP OTO marked a bit of a departure for the trio, a downbeat, jazzy path just beginning to be name-checked as trip-hop. Hitting the charts in an even bigger way during their 1997 return, the trio released "Atom Bomb," a high-energy number recorded for the Virgin video-game soundtrack Wipeout 2097. The single and video also introduced fourth member Arial Tetsuo, an animé race-car driver come to life as concert figure-head Rachel Stewart. Risotto, Fluke's fourth LP, fit in nicely with the growing fanaticism surrounding big-beat techno, though the trio held on to their trance and trip-hop inclinations as well.

Fluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been beaten upon black and blue
And I, assumed that I'd been the fool
And it's made me mean, made me cruel
Made me just the same as you
I did things I shouldn't do
Done things to make it through
While making up excuses to
Just get ahead, get along
Get some more, get some fun
Gettin' scared of gettin' none
While lookin' after number one
I gotta get ahead or get none
Gotta get it all and then some
Gotta look how far I come
Lived so fast, died so young
I'm chokin' this smoke has got
So thick and I can't cope
And it's so bad I'm almost broke
And I gone way beyond all hope
And I can't breath, I can't see
I can't be too good for me
And I can't seem to find my feet now
Somebody help me please
Sunshine
Show me the sunshine

Line by Line Meaning
I been bruised, I been used
I have been hurt and taken advantage of
I been beaten upon black and blue
I have been physically and emotionally abused to the point of severe damage
And I, assumed that I'd been the fool
And I, believed that I was the one to blame
And it's made me mean, made me cruel
And it has caused me to become bitter and heartless
Made me just the same as you
Resulting in me becoming like everyone else
I did things I shouldn't do
I have acted in ways that are not justifiable
Done things to make it through
I have done things that I believed were necessary for survival
While making up excuses to
Despite knowing that they were unethical, I justified them with excuses
Just get ahead, get along
Just trying to succeed and fit in
Get some more, get some fun
Trying to accumulate more things and experience more pleasure
Gettin' scared of gettin' none
Becoming afraid of not having enough
While lookin' after number one
Only taking care of myself
Gotta get ahead or get none
I must succeed or I will be left with nothing
Gotta get it all and then some
Trying to accumulate as much as possible, even beyond what I actually need
Gotta look how far I come
Taking a look at the progress I have made
Lived so fast, died so young
Living recklessly and not making it to old age
I'm chokin' this smoke has got
I am suffocating due to the thick smoke around me
So thick and I can't cope
It is so overwhelming that I cannot handle it
And it's so bad I'm almost broke
It is so terrible that I am nearly broken
And I gone way beyond all hope
I have lost all hope
And I can't breath, I can't see
I am struggling to breathe and cannot see clearly
I can't be too good for me
I cannot take care of myself properly
And I can't seem to find my feet now
I am lost and do not know what to do next
Somebody help me please
I am desperately asking for assistance
Sunshine
A symbol of positivity and happiness
Show me the sunshine
I need to be shown a path towards positivity and happiness
I wanna see the blue sky
I want to experience clarity and freedom
Come back to me
I want to return to a state of positivity and happiness
