Respectfully, although "Atom Bomb" was on a ton of compilations/soundtracks and did have an EP of remixes, i think it sort of came and went with the late 90's "electronica" craze, whereas "Born Slippy" has stood the longer test of time. Really no comparison to the amount of success UW has achieved versus Fluke's. I remember reading that, although Fluke was getting big crowds at festival gigs, their "Risotto" LP sold something like 15,000 copies in the US, versus hundreds of thousands for the likes of Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy.

Fluke hasn't released anything as Fluke since Puppy in 2003. Spin-offs Syntax and 2Bit Pie were circa 2005-06. Rumblings of a new Syntax record, and the Fluke guys reunited for one gig in 2010.
