Fluke (band)
Fluke was an English electronic music group formed in the late 1980s by Mike Bryant, Jon Fugler and Mike Tournier. The band were noted for their diverse range of electronic styles, including house, techno, ambient, big beat and downtempo; for their reclusivity, rarely giving interviews; and for lengthy timespans between albums. Fluke produced five original studio albums, three compilation albums, and a live album. They made several line-up changes over the years, with credited appearances attributed to Neil Davenport on guitars, Robin Goodridge on drums and Hugh Bryder as a DJ. In the tour for their fourth album ''Risotto'' (1997), they were joined on stage by singer Rachel Stewart, who continued as lead female vocalist and dancer for all of Fluke's live performances between 1997 and 1999. After ''Risotto'', Tournier left the group to form Syntax with Jan Burton. Bryant and Fugler went on to produce Fluke's fifth and final studio album, ''Puppy'' (2003), and the pair subsequen ...

Electronic Music
Electronic music is a genre of music that employs electronic musical instruments, digital instruments, or circuitry-based music technology in its creation. It includes both music made using electronic and electromechanical means ( electroacoustic music). Pure electronic instruments depended entirely on circuitry-based sound generation, for instance using devices such as an electronic oscillator, theremin, or synthesizer. Electromechanical instruments can have mechanical parts such as strings, hammers, and electric elements including magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers. Such electromechanical devices include the telharmonium, Hammond organ, electric piano and the electric guitar."The stuff of electronic music is electrically produced or modified sounds. ... two basic definitions will help put some of the historical discussion in its place: purely electronic music versus electroacoustic music" ()Electroacoustic music may also use electronic effect units to ...

Six Wheels On My Wagon
''Six Wheels on My Wagon'' is the second album by British electronic music group Fluke, released on 7 October 1993. The title parodies that of the song "Three Wheels on My Wagon", from the early 1960s. The most prominent track on the album, "Slid" is featured in the 1993 Phillip Noyce film ''Sliver'' as well as being a club favourite of popular DJ Sasha. Overview At the early stage in their career, the band realized that they would experience the greatest artistic freedom if they had their own recording studio and took it upon themselves to obtain their own premises. This was an asset which, according to Fugler, proved invaluable in coordinating the "wider pool of people — musicians and friends — that we draw on to help". After a two-year break, Fluke returned with what became a breakthrough into mainstream popular music when, in 1993, they released the single " Slid". This became an instant club classic when it was picked up by DJ Sasha who liked it so much that he included ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oto (album)
''Oto'' is the third album by British electronica group Fluke, first released in 1995. In terms of style, ''Oto'' ( Greek for ear) was somewhat darker than Fluke's previous '' Six Wheels on My Wagon'', focusing on newer music styles such as big beat, rather than the uplifting house that characterised their previous work. Both "Bullet" and "Tosh" were later released as double remix CDs, each with one disc of four remixes by Fluke themselves and one of four by other people. "Bullet" was chosen by Dominic Pride of ''Billboard'' magazine as one of his top ten picks of 1995.

Electronica
Electronica is both a broad group of electronic-based music styles intended for listening rather than strictly for dancing and a music scene that started in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the term is mostly used to refer to electronic music generally. History Early 1990s: origins and UK scene The original wide-spread use of the term "electronica" derives from the influential English experimental techno label New Electronica, which was one of the leading forces of the early 1990s introducing and supporting dance-based electronic music oriented towards home listening rather than dance-floor play, although the word "electronica" had already begun to be associated with synthesizer generated music as early as 1983, when a "UK Electronica Festival" was first held. At that time electronica became known as "electronic listening music", also becoming more or less synonymous to ambient techno and intelligent techno, and was considered distinct from other em ...

John Robert Parker Ravenscroft (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004), known professionally as John Peel, was an English disc jockey (DJ) and radio presenter. He was the longest-serving of the original BBC Radio 1 DJs, broadcasting regularly from 1967 until his death in 2004.

The Techno Rose Of Blighty (album)
''The Techno Rose of Blighty'' is the debut album by British electronic music group Fluke, released in 1991. The name is based upon '' Blighty'', being slang for Great Britain; and parodies the title of the song " The Yellow Rose of Texas"; it is also ironic, as the album is not particularly techno-based. The album was re-released as LP edition in 1993 at Circa Records with bonus tracks. Overview Before forming Fluke, Jon Fugler and Mike Bryant had played in two punk bands together named The Leaky Radiators and The Lay Figures. The third member of Fluke, Mike Tournier, was introduced to the group when he undertook work on a collaboration with Fugler entitled "Skin". It soon became clear that all three shared musical tastes, having a shared interest in the acid house scene and the more experimental electronic sounds of Cabaret Voltaire and Giorgio Moroder.''Six Wheels on My Wagon Inlay Sheet'', "Fluke are: Mike Bryant, Mike Tournier, Jonathan Fugler, Julian Nugent".
