Overview Edit

Oto is the fifth album by British electronic Music group Fluke, first released in 1995 (see 1995 in music).

In terms of style, Oto (Greek for ear) was somewhat darker than Fluke's previous 'Six Wheels on my Wagon', focusing on downbeat ambient effects 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 4 remixes by Fluke themselves and one of 4 by other people. Many of the remixes by Fluke available on these discs are widely considered, amongst the online Fluke fanbase, to be superior to the versions on Oto.

It evolves into an incredible package of energy and tranquility at the same time. Fluke challenges the listener to focus on what is happening within their music. The rich textures and layers of sound will amaze any audiophile or headphone jockey.

3 stars Cats with gloves don't catch mice
On "Oto", the band's third proper album, Fluke makes some effort to get away from the carbon copy of Underworld's sound that characterized "Six wheels on my wagon". However, for all those who think Fluke is defined by high-energy dance music, "Oto" will prove a disappointment. Much of the music is downtempo, and Fluke raise the tempo only for "Bullet" and "O.K.". This mix of dub rhythms, deep bass lines, and ambient sounds ambitious, but the song material often isn't there. The remix versions of…
