Welcome to the first edition of the Fluke Top Ten Items To Have (FTTITH). This is a series that will explore the rarer items of Fluke music, memorabilia and general gumph that fans should aspire to get their hands on. Think of it as a sort of twelve days of Christmas, except ten and not after Christmas. Ok, it's not very much like the twelve days of Christmas!
Kicking off this list of gems is: Syntax - Meccano Mind (Japanese Edition)
The real audio treat on this disc is track 7; Sexograph. Kicking in with a subtly modulating deep, deep bass, this is not only a great track it also makes for a fantastic speaker test in its own right.
While I am not as fond of Woman and Love Song (I Wonder Why) as Sexograph, they are as worthy of consideration as the rest of this great album.
This is one of the easiest of the Top 10 items to get hold of and is not listed here for absolute rarity, but rather for its lesser known status and sonic quality. I'll just end with a reiteration of the, undoubtedly positive, news that, despite delays, the new Syntax album is still in the works and could be out next year.
