Open Your Eyes, Open Your Mind

Side 1 of a Fluke mixtape, compiled 7th May 1997. To get it straight from the start, I love Fluke and their music, invariably chock full of rolling, pulsing beats and bubbling synths is guaranteed to take me to a happy place. I'm surprised it's taken me so long to feature Fluke in their own right, but what better way to see in a Good Friday?

 

This is the second volume of Fluke cassettes, confusingly titled (Singles), with the other being (Mixes). In truth, both are a bit of a hodge podge of single (re)mixes, album tracks and remixes for other artists. 

This was originally compiled a few short months before the album Risotto came out, so focuses mainly on the first three albums, skipping live mini-album Out (In Essence) and drawing on a trio of top notch remixes in the latter half of the selection. Only one single - Slid (a UK #59 hit in March 1993) - actually makes it onto this side.

Oh yeah!
