• FLUKE: Tosh
  
  There are two versions of this CD single; the second includes a track entitled 'Tosh (Shriekbackwash)' which is a Shriekback remix of the original Fluke song. In fact it is not so much a remix as a re-recording, as it started life as a dance track written with sequencers and the like, and Shriekback have redone it using their collection of strange acoustic instruments. The full details of the relevant CD are these:
  
  Tosh (Nosh) / Tosh (Dosh) / Tosh (Josh) / Tosh (Shriekbackwash)

  Some more about this CD. Lu, Simon and Martyn recorded an album's- worth of material with Murray Lachlan Young, but only this one track actually made it to the CD. There is a rumour that the shelved material may be released in the near future (2004?). Watch this space.
