Oto (album)
Encyclopedia
Oto is the fifth album
by British
electronica
group Fluke
, first released in 1995.
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 four remixes by Fluke themselves and one of four 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.
