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 ↴
Super this and that, super value pack
Super grass for gain, super power games
Super secret spy, under supervised
On a super stage, Super market chains
Super tanker spill, pinpoint super kill
Super info fact, super computer hack
Super master plan, cream of superman
Super deluxe fit, super shuttle trip
Super weekend break, super move to make
Sherlock super sleuth, super channel news
Future super race, super heavy weight
Super sexy stars, superficial farce
Superseding all, super 4 point 4
Super 2 point 2, super me and you
On a super charge, living super fast
Superintendent, common super sense
Super data stream, super squeaky clean
From the Super Bowl, what a supreme show
Super place to go, on board the super flow
Super highway bus, connecting them and us
Super tune it up, super fast enough
Super nova shine, super x-ray eyes
Looking deep inside, superstitious minds
Supertronic key, Super A.B.C.
Super title crown, into super sound
Super saver fare, weston super mare
Super do ray me, super duper wheeze
Supercilious, super stupid fuss
Super conducting thing, twenty super kings
Sure shot super sub, super unleaded plus
From the super loo, less than super cool
Super groupie tour, lake superior
Smoking super skunk, lost in super funk
Super structure flaw, discount super store
Super sonic boom, super rhythm groove
Super mario, super high and low
One off super smash, super black market clash
Soft and super strong, Super imposition
Super annuate, Super smashing great.
The song "Tosh" by Fluke is a commentary on society's obsession with "super" things - from superhuman abilities and products, to superpowers and secret spy agencies. The song's lyrics are a list of various things that are either deemed "super" or have the potential to be super, highlighting the overwhelming presence of this idea in our lives. The lyrics also touch on darker themes, such as super tanker spills and pinpoint super kills, showcasing the potential negative consequences of our desire for greater power and control.
Throughout the song, Fluke employs a rhythmic and repetitive structure, with the word "super" being repeated in almost every line. This creates a sense of urgency and emphasizes the song's message of excess and over-the-top obsession with power and technology. The song's chorus is particularly memorable, with the line "Living super fast" standing out as a warning about the dangers of our current societal values.
