Fluke - Atom Bomb

The Wipeout soundtrack was an early influence for Smash TV. Seems like only yesterday that this kind of stuff on MTV Amp was warping our fragile little minds.

in a nostalgic sort of mood and finding all the videos I remember airing on MTV AMP. this one was one of my favorites, and would've made a great anime!

I once again have to thank

...my spiritual forbears for creating MTV's Amp. Back when MTV still aired music videos*, Amp was getting super-weird late at nights.

The first time I watched the program (probably switching away from the static-filled, semi-encrypted, squigly-lined Playboy channel after my parents were asleep), I landed on an episode that showed Prodigy's Firestarter and Tricky's Christiansands back-to-back. I'd never seen – or heard – anything like it. And then they played Aphex's Come to Daddy and my mind went

Amp was the reason I started listening to electronic music in high school, when the rest of (most of) my classmates were listening to Creed and Garth Brooks. More than any single person or source, Amp put me on the righteous path.

I was listening to old Prodigy records this weekend and I remembered this track, which was on one of the Amp compilations that MTV published. Huge tune that probably largely went unnoticed before the internet and relevant music blogs started to surface all of the good content in existence.
