Additional notes
Album Notes: Fluke are the misfits of prescient big-beat, caught unawares between a public consciousness enamored with the likes of Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers and their attendant media blitz. It's too bad. The bastard cousins of diminished capacity industrial forebears such as Front 242, Fluke, conquerors of the U.K., haven't been able to get arrested in the U.S. That is, not until the release of RISOTTO and it's accompanying signature tune, "Atom Bomb." "Atom Bomb" is a visceral ammunitions depot set ablaze in a cloud of sequencers and electronic attitude. It places the electronic body movement that swept the other side of the pond in cahoots with contemporary electronica. Fluke are more than just a sum of their 1980s influences. The nine-plus minute "Kitten Moon" is an exercise in power tool electronics set on slower revolutions per minute, kept afloat on a bed of surging synth gyrations and bass-heavy magma. Fluke's anonymity vanished once this meddlesome recording held court on listening stations nationwide.
Album Reviews: Melody Maker (10/4/97, p.51) - "...better than we deserve at this late stage of Fluke's ever-flawless career....they have the dumbest, greatest lyrics in dance." Entertainment Weekly (10/31/97, p.109) - "...their beats are as relentless and no-frills as traditional techno gets." - Rating: B
Advantages: Interesting Disadvantages: Not horro like normal James Herbert
...Fluke
I read this one years ago and haven’t had the opportunity (or inclination if truth be know) to read it again so my memory of the book is probably too jaded to give a real overview. Basically though it is a story of a dog that isn’t a dog, or at least it doesn’t think it’s a dog even though it is ….. confused ?
Although its not a complicated plot (despite the above sentence) you do have to try and put yourself in the position of a man who isn’t a man but is a dog who doesn’t realise he’s a man although he has man thoughts … NOW your confused !!
I’ll try and explain a bit more, the outline of the story is that of a dog called Fluke who realises he is different from other dogs but he doesn’t know why. It's only as he gets older that he realises the significance of some of his thoughts and it becomes clear he is really a man...

Advantages: Wonderful film Disadvantages: Makes you cry
...This is one of the best films I have ever seen. This film is called Fluke. This is also the film that brings tears to my 6-year-old sisters eyes. This film is rated PG.
The film starts of with a group of puppies being born, and then out of nowhere a group of animal rescuers take them to the cat and dog shelter. But luckily enough one of the puppies escapes. Then one day an old woman finds him and names him “FLUKE”, but then she dies, Fluke is sad. As the dog grows up he realises that he has been here before. Also that he remembers that he had a son and a wife in an earlier life.
Fluke tries everything he can to get them back. He also thinks that someone is trying to kill his family. But at the end he realises that he just trying to look after them. He gets the family to come to his grave and the way he looks at them tells them...

...this is the best risotto rice i've found on the british market. easy to use with clear instructions on the back, it cooks a mean risotto. it is a little bit more expensive than other brands perhaps, but there is limited choice of brands around unfortunately. there is no doubt that if you've got an hour to spare making a tasty risotto from scratch, constantly stirring it, that it would be the healthier and most likely tastier option. but if you're short on time as so many of us are these days, this is a very good, quick alternative, taking only twelve minutes it is easy to fix up after a hard day at work. garnish with shaved parmesan and serve with a nice dry white wine. if you found my review helpful, please rate me so that i can earn some pennies to spend on my risotto making ;) xx...
