History
Tournier attended the John Hampden Grammar School, High Wycombe. Little is known of Tournier's history prior to his incorporation into Fluke in 1988 at the age of 25 in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire and remains a high point in his career. The band's conception was influenced by Tournier's interest in acid house music and particularly Cabaret Voltaire and Giorgio Moroder. Tournier stayed with Fluke until approximately 1998 when he left the group to collaborate with Jan Burton on Syntax's Meccano Mind. This was to be a short lived partnership with Syntax splitting up after only a single album and two singles.
Mike's music has spanned many different genres throughout his career, which he has not seen as a problem, stating "I think it just goes to show that what you want out of music isn't necessarily as narrow minded as it being just guitars, or computers, its about feeling."
