I don't understand why there are so many negative comments about this. I LOVE it, and I wasn't even listening to this sort of thing in the 90s. I came to it fresh about 10 years ago and it hit the spot immediately.

A moment to reflect, MassivRuss. Although RP is amazingly eclectic, can there be any doubt that listeners have some expectations regarding the programming? Not so much a categorical limitation as an esthetic one: Inventive, amusing, beautiful house or trance would be widely accepted, as would kiddie pop or rap - if it had some obvious redeeming quality. This example is, for my ear, not one of those. I could get a steady stream of these blips and beats on the half-dozen somafm.com stations devoted to various flavors of electronica (and I sometimes do.) Generally I expect not to hear any of the categories I mentioned earlier on RP unless the individual examples are gems.
Where did this expectation originate?
By listening to, and becoming familiar with, the excellent curation of Bill and Rebecca Goldsmith. We've become accustomed to their ear. When a slight discoloration unnoticeable in the jumble of other stations' offerings tints the flow, it's felt immediately. I'd have to support Collen's assertion, as would the rating graph. You may violently object to Cake for some reason (that I'll never understand), but their consistently high ratings reflect the quality and musicianship on display and obvious to most listeners.
As Collen said,"I listen to RP so i don't have to listen to this" - which is very different from "You can't play this, I'm leaving." We all have reason to listen to RP, but also reason to recognize an inferior bottle in the cellar. A testament to the training we've received at the knee of our hosts.
Very well articulated thoughts, and while I agree on your premise, I happen to like this! And really, haven't heard a lot of Fluke on here, so I don't have a problem with this in the least....

Barely lit giant dance floor surrounded by dozens of loudspeakers pegged, 3AM in Berlin.
what a f-----g noise shite loops
I happen to really enjoy electronica so I personally think this fits in well on RP. An eclectic radio station should cover all musical genres. I personally don't like most rap or hip hop. I still think they should be covered. I'm not sure if I've ever heard a rap song on RP.
I guess musical taste is intensely subjective. I like this track as it gets my attention away from my work to see what it was and it makes me FEEL something. I am sorry not everyone enjoys the same feeling I get with it, but thankfully RP has allowed us a place to express our feelings about the tracks and this will makes us all feel better when we get to express whether we like the song or hate it!

Behold, a sweet spot of the late '90s

I don't normally like to leave negative comments, but this is boring.
Just took a hit, this sounds good..
I don't like this. And I don't really care for the occasional classical orchestra piece. But I love that RP plays both, and everything in between.
One day I heard a Phish cover of a Velvet Underground song that had been recorded two weeks earlier in Virginia, which I loved. That same day, I heard a Benny Goodman cover of a Louis Prima song from 1937 that my grandmother remembers from her youth, which I also loved.
That is why I listen to RP.

Brings back memories of my teenage days pumping this tune through my stereo.

Horrible
Trace on... with a little tongue in cheek, no?
Nice...
Will this ever end?
LIKE! Nice grooves, good atmosphere. Relaxing, whimsical, dreamy.

all you listners out there - open youre mind some exelent stuff going on at the least expected places

Trance like and I like this...in smaller doses. It's just the way RP handles this. I truly appreciate the variety here in this place. Where else can I hear something like this along with Nina Simone and then Arcade Fire...? No where folks. This is a great place to be! Thanks, Bill and Rebecca!
I listen to RP so i don't have to listen to this
It seems we are not in Paradise
I would never buy this, but I love hearing it on RP. It's brilliant in its style, I think.
I don’t usually go for terchno but this is not bad. Thanks RP for keeping it eclectic. Always fun to hear something new.
Okay, did someone kidnap Bill?
Just the right time of night, in just the right kind of mood and weariness level. Likey!
Wow...I VERY rarely turn my speakers off while listening to RP all day but just did. I'd give this a minus rating if I could.
Anyone else hear GE ~ Twilight Zone running through this ?
6 for now.
6 for now.
Ugh. It sounds like a migraine.
Wow, ratings are all over the place for this one. I'll start it at 7 and see where we go from there
A very steep fall from Jeff Buckley...

I have been listening to Fluke for ages and love their complex and interesting style. I have given it a 10 to try to keep it on the playlist. . . . . . give me a hand here all you electro heads! Give it some ratings! lol!

RIP Donna Summer.
Very chill I think
Oh man! I love Fluke and own this album. I am shocked to see it's been sitting on the RP shelf since 2004... (at least that's when someone last posted a comment) And silly me! I've never realized until now that that is a Kitchen Aid mixer on the cover art!! Sadly you would not use it to make risotto......if only it were that easy!
Big Url rocks! Same great taste and more fat than ever!

This is getting geometrically better by the listen. It's a perfect sci-fi number - doesn't need lyrics at all.
Ahh yes, now on to some weenie Coldplay nasal drippings...
:chillpill.gif:
This could be an IMAX soundtrack... Until then, I'll just make my own images.

8) Very Chill. Keep this and more "Fluke" coming please!
WHOLE buncha recent uploads, I guess. Never heard some of this stuff. All 6's for now.
Gotta go, COLDPLAY just came on....

I like it - gave it an 8 - sometimes, the electronica/groove thang doesn't do it for me, sometimes it does... obviously an 8 means today it does!
And only 2 tracks before it, Pink Floyd's Cirrus Minor... what can I say - very cool... and only on RP! 
Keep up the great work Bill!

Maybe it was something I ate for lunch or maybe it's this song, but seriously I'm getting really nauseous.

Interesting. A little meditative, repetitive. Think techno-trance. I like a little more substance to my music than this, but good workstuff.
Here's something that bothers me about RP ratings. This is obviously a new track, when I hit the page, I saw '2 votes' 'Average is 7' 'Lowest rating 5, highest rating 10' - that had to be within 10 seconds of the track first starting.
I have -never- rated anythign on RP a 10. Okay, maybe Sing Sing Sing is a 10, but absolutism, either positive or negative, just kills a scale. I can't htink of any goofy techno-trance piece like this being the absolute most god-like creation on the planet.
Vote realistically, folks :)
I don't like this. And I don't really care for the occasional classical orchestra piece. But I love that RP plays both, and everything in between.

RP plays the best of any genre. That's why it is so brilliant!
