Review

Fluke's fourth album altogether finds remixed tracks from 1995's OTO alongside a few new titles. The polished techno-funk of previous records, which sometimes grew a bit tired, is nicely expanded on with big beat numbers like the video-game soundtrack "Atom Bomb," plus moderate breakbeats on several tracks, and "Goodnight Lover," which drifts into soundtrack ambience. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Risotto is the sixth album by British electronica group Fluke, first released in September 1997 (see 1997 in music). The album is named Risotto after the dish.

Many of the tracks that brought Fluke to a larger audience feature on this album, including Atom Bomb, used on the wipE'out" 2097 soundtrack, and Absurd, used in many films/trailers, including Sin City in 2005.

The cover was designed by The Designers Republic.

Critical reception

Writing for Melody Maker in October 1997, Neil Kulkarni gave Risotto a very positive review, singling out the album's lyrics as a highlight; "[Fluke] have the dumbest greatest deepest lyrics in dance – "Baby's got an atom-bomb/a motherf***in' atom bomb" is the greatest heavy metal lyric never written; "Anyone with a heart votes love" is a chorus Stevie Wonder would be proud of; "Think big that's only half as large/Bigger, better, twice as hard" is Ooompah-Loompah haiku made pop poetry."[1]
