Fluke Top Ten Items To Have #9 is... Trance-Europe Xpress Vol. 4

Trance Europe Express Volume 4

Why has a, somewhat obscure, compilation of 90s electronic music made it onto this list? Well, because it is the only place you will get the Fluke track Synth Bit.

Synth Bit is a curious piece of Fluke history. It has very few vocals (occasional snatches of female voices in the background and a heavily reverbed questioning of "everything all right?") accompanied by the expected rolling bass lines underneath. There are some fantastic blips and beeps and wails from 3:00 onwards.

This album is also worth picking up for the 6 page biography/interview with the band accompanied by negative-colour inversion photographs of the group; an excellent colectors item about which I hope to post more info in the near future.

All in all, this piece makes the list because there are very few (hint: another one makes the top ten list) non-album tracks that are not, in some way or another, duplicated. Synth Bit is one of them.
