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.

Snapshot
Fluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arm in arm with everyone been charming the nation
Cindy picks the wallets for her friends medications
As willing patient Julie sit and wait for attention
Lucy's got a uniform for every occasion
Annie's got a gun she says she stole for protection
Sally turns her back and walks in dissatisfaction
Rudy got a problem he got too much aggression
Disregarding everything it's time for attention
He got Bobby in a bottle, he got Billy in a stetson
He's got Betty does her best but it's a bad situation
Gina's getting god so she can get up to heaven
Looking like an angel in the name of salvation
Cathy's in a coma that she calls meditation
As Danny does the devil now he's left for damnation
Jim's trying hard to learn from every lesson
Looking to the future and some great expectation
Nikki's countin day's until she inherits the mansion
And all the boys are waiting for a piece of the action
Simon says and Simon does what nobody mentions
Peter's getting restless lacking all the true expressions
Tommy's undicited he can't make no decisions
As Joni'sin the basement getting bored at the tension
Fluke's song "Snapshot" is a glimpse into the lives of multiple characters, each facing their own struggles and challenges. The first two lines introduce Little Suzie, who is looking for love and affection. She is popular and well-liked, charming the nation with her friendly demeanor. However, the following line introduces Cindy, who steals wallets to help her friends pay for medication. The contrast between their struggles shows the complexity of human nature and the different paths that people take in life.
The following lines reveal more about the other characters, such as Lucy, who has a different uniform for every occasion, and Annie, who carries a gun for protection. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that all these characters are flawed in some way, such as Rudy's aggressive behavior and Danny's association with the devil. Despite their flaws, the characters are still relatable, and it's easy to empathize with them.
The chorus describes how all the characters are waiting for something, whether it's attention, salvation, or some piece of the action. The song suggests that everyone is searching for something in their lives, and no one's journey is easy. It's a snapshot of society and an acknowledgment of the struggles that people face every day.

Up until recently have I discovered how awesome was this song. After all, you can't really pay attention to such a fine track when you're zooming through Olympic City on a tricked out Civic you call "Catapult".

For me, it's an orange-yellow-red Miata that I call "sandstorm"
