Editorial Reviews

LFO are one of the most influential dance acts to come out of the UK. Signed to Warp over two decades ago on the strength of a few scrappy demos, their sound is still as fresh today as it was in warehouse parties of the early nineties. Frequencies has influenced multiple producers, DJs and bands throughout the years, and the original album charted worldwide and gained Top 40 placement in the UK. It includes the cult dance floor filler ''LFO,'' which achieved a number twelve chart position in the UK. LFO originally released Frequencies in 1991, an album that not only plays a crucial part in Warp's history - but also represents a pivotal moment for the British rave movement. To celebrate twenty years since its original release we have re-cut the record with Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin and it will now be released as a loudcut double vinyl for the first time, including ''Groovy Distortion'' and ''Track 14,'' which were previously unavailable on the vinyl version of the album. The CD version of the album will also be made available in the US for the first time in over a decade. --This text refers to an alternate Vinyl edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Electronica, January 26, 2005

I was appalled when some lame "boy b(r)and" had the nerve to call themselves LFO. Why hasn't Mark Bell sued? Anyway, this is great electronica inspired by Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and others. A great homage and a great bunch of bass heavy, electronic beats that make you move to the dance floor. This is an overlooked classic of Electronica. Very trippy.

5.0 out of 5 stars essential listening, April 12, 2004

You're not a true fan of electronic music unless you own this disc. Light years ahead at its release, it has withstood the test of time effortlessly and still thrills and chills like no other. The bass on the title track alone with make your bowels quiver. Mark Bell is also the mastermind behind the hair raising beat programming on bjork's essential Homogenic. This is a must have for any fan of electronic music.

4.0 out of 5 stars The album that kicked off an era, June 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Frequencies (Audio CD)

Possibly the first great album of 90's electronica, "Frequencies" still has plenty of charm. The sub-bass attack of "LFO" has lost none of its impact over the years. Too bad this duo has dissolved their partnership.
