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.

Slowmotion
Fluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No waves serenity
Reflecting peacefully
Looking like the speed for me
Held out I feel no need
No gravity it seems
Suspended here to see
A moment for eternity
I'm getting nowhere fast
Slow motion
Let it last
Let the moment take it's time
That I may see and realise
So slow the water falls
See how the water falls
See how the ripple waves
To rise and gently fade away
Frame by frame by frame
Unravelled and unexplained
The mystery unveiled
As I uncover each detail
Freeze like the speed for me
Freeze so that I may see
Freeze time and realise
The sights that lie before your eyes
In Fluke's song Slowmotion, the lyrics depict a moment of stillness and introspection, set to a slow and dreamy beat. The singer observes his surroundings, which are characterized by a sense of serenity and suspended animation. The reflection of the scenery on the surface of the still water is a metaphor for the singer's own inner state, which is free of the usual pressures and distractions of the outside world. He can take his time to examine every detail of his surroundings and himself, without feeling the need to move or rush.
The theme of the song is the importance of slowing down and appreciating the beauty and complexity of life, even in its most ordinary moments. The repetition of the phrase "slow motion" emphasizes this message, and suggests that the singer is trying to prolong the moment of stillness and clarity as much as possible. The final lines of the song encourage the listener to do the same, to freeze time and savor the sights that lie before their eyes. The overall effect is one of calm and contemplation, a welcome respite from the hectic pace of modern life.

Pre ordered the album from my local record shop/music guru, been one of my favorite songs ever since. This was back in the good old days when this was really underground in Norway, with rave ++ just entering the scene.
